Bellwether's Housing's Annual Closer to Home Benefit Event Register Keynote Our Residents Supporters Get Involved Sponsors FAQs Home Support Us Closer to Home Register Keynote Our Residents Get Involved Sponsors FAQs Register Here JOIN US KEYNOTE SPEAKER Raj Chetty William A. Ackman Professor of Economics and Director of Opportunity Insights at Harvard His work has fundamentally changed how we understand the connection between home and future outcomes. Through large-scale data analysis, Raj and his team have shown that where a child grows up — access to stable housing, safe neighborhoods, and opportunity-rich communities — can have a profound impact on lifelong earnings, education, and overall well-being. These findings are especially urgent today, as affordable housing remains increasingly out of reach for many families. His research underscores a powerful truth: expanding access to stable, affordable homes is one of the most effective ways to break cycles of poverty and create pathways to upward mobility. By partnering with local communities and policymakers, these insights are translated into real-world strategies that help families not only find housing, but access opportunity. Who does Bellwether serve? Bellwether Housing serves individuals and families with low to moderate incomes across King County, providing safe, stable, and affordable housing. Our residents include seniors, working families, young professionals, veterans, and people with disabilities—anyone who might otherwise struggle to find housing in our region’s expensive rental market. By creating and managing affordable homes, we help ensure that everyone, regardless of income, has the opportunity to live and thrive in our communities. 2025 EVENT PHOTOS How You Can Help JOIN US AT CLOSER TO HOME Hear from renowned expert Dr. Jamil Zaki about how empathy shapes thriving neighborhoods, and discover your role in building a more compassionate Seattle.

- ABOUT US | Bellwether Housing
Mission History Approach Future About Bellwether We create stable communities and access to opportunity through affordable housing. Mission Mission & Vision Bellwether Housing creates stable communities and access to opportunity through affordable housing. We develop and manage homes for people with limited incomes near job centers, transit, and services. We amplify our impact by helping other organizations in the Puget Sound region do the same. We envision diverse communities where people of all incomes and backgrounds share in the prosperity of our region. Photo: Bellwether Staff circa 1990 Timeline History History Bellwether Housing was founded in 1980 to create housing in downtown Seattle so city workers could live close to their jobs. After over 40 years of success and growth, Bellwether is the Puget Sound region's largest nonprofit affordable housing provider. Today Bellwether apartments are home to approximately 5,000 residents (and counting). Bellwether continues to lead the affordable housing industry in finding innovative ways to build strong, healthy communities within its own portfolio and on behalf of other nonprofit organizations. We have developed thousands of apartment homes and numerous community facilities as a development consultant for other nonprofits. Our Approach As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Bellwether Housing builds and manages high quality affordable housing so that people of diverse backgrounds and incomes thrive in urban King County’s high-cost housing market. As the Puget Sound region’s largest nonprofit affordable housing provider, Bellwether Housing serves 5,000 residents annually in 3,000 apartments. Our 35 buildings (and counting!) are near workplaces, schools, childcare, and community amenities in vibrant, transit-rich neighborhoods. We serve families large and small, households recovering from homelessness, seniors, immigrants, preschool teachers and social workers, and young people just starting out. Living at Bellwether, residents gain access to the resources and prosperity of their surrounding communities and, in turn, cultivate a more inclusive and equitable city. To meet the intense need for affordable housing in the region, we plan to build and acquire more homes every year. Since 2016, Bellwether has targeted new development in neighborhoods that have incredible access to transit, public services such as libraries, parks, and excellent schools, and allow for strong ties to community supports such as YMCA’s, Boys & Girls Clubs, community centers, health care facilities and food banks. We have developed or are developing in Queen Anne, Roosevelt, the University District, First Hill, Bitter Lake and Rainier Beach. Bellwether’s resident are majority BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and our larger households with children are nearly 80% families of color. Low-income families have fewer housing options than any other population in Seattle. Since 2016, Bellwether has prioritized the development of 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments to create as many options as possible for low-income families. Although these larger apartments are more challenging to develop and operate, Bellwether believes it is imperative that our community be a place in which lower income families – particularly BIPOC families - can thrive. Our apartment communities include resident amenity areas, such as community rooms, outdoor play spaces, gardens, and laundry; and attentive on-site management. Our on-site resident services program connects residents with the resources, services, benefits, and community relationships they need to thrive. Future Looking forward, Bellwether continues to integrate four decades of success with innovative and pioneering development approaches to make housing in our region more accessible, inclusive, and affordable to all. In the next five years, we plan to build or acquire new apartments, grow our organization to maintain and operate these new units, and continue to embed anti-racism into our organization's culture and work.

- Funding | Bellwether Housing
Funding & Support What does it take to provide affordable housing in the Seattle area? The actual cost of constructing 750 new affordable homes is pegged at around $257 million, but that is just a part of the cost for providing affordable housing. The ongoing costs include daily building management, maintenance, and resident services that we provide. We run our organization responsibly and with innovative financial tools to remain so. We launched the nation’s first crowdfunded impact investment that funds the development of affordable housing in 2019. This model has made it possible for us to complete our construction projects as planned while providing needed assistance to our residents. Our sources of funding are private individual and corporate contributions and loans, government funding and land donations, property development fees from our consulting work, rental income, and interest earned on investment holdings.
