Mission Statement
Together with residents and partners, we confront inequity to create inclusive housing and foster thriving, just communities.
About This Cause
The Community Roots Housing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that mobilizes resources for Community Roots Housing.Everyone has the right to a quality, affordable home. At Community Roots Housing, this truth drives our work. Formerly known as Capitol Hill Housing, our organization was founded in 1976 by community activists concerned about redlining and disinvestment in Seattle’s housing market. Shortly thereafter, Community Roots began renovating and acquiring affordable apartments to meet Seattle’s rising need for affordable housing. Today, we develop, preserve, and manage affordable homes for over 2,000 residents across the Seattle area. We maintain nearly 50 buildings close to schools, jobs, and transitso families and individuals can set down roots and thrive. In this housing affordability crisis, people are being pushed out of their communities by the impacts of racism, inequality, and gentrification. Our work fights this displacement. We embrace community-led development and engage in deep-rooted partnerships because it takes all of us to create equitable, vibrant communities.
