2019 Annual Report So much has changed since we began 2020, and I find it almost surreal to place myself back in 2019. But I am very happy for this opportunity to reflect on what was very real last year - Bellwether was busy building stable communities, providing families with access to opportunity, and giving people a place to call home. Susan Boyd, CEO CEO Letter Susan Boyd, CEO Writing the introductory letter for our annual report is always an exercise in reflection. We send this report out after our financial statements for the year have been fully audited, which typically doesn’t happen until summer of the following year. So we are always sharing with you the activities and events of a year we left behind several months ago. This year, it feels less like a reflection and more like the retelling of a dream. Read More I feel happy when I wake up. It’s a weight off the shoulders to have the ability to save money and be able to actually live your life again. Diana, resident Pictured here with Anuar and Kita the pup in their apartment at The Parker. A Shared Future in Queen Anne Anuar & Diana's Story When Anuar and Diana decided to move in together, finding a home wasn’t easy. They needed an apartment close to downtown, with enough space for the couple and Diana’s young son Julian, near good schools, transportation, and parks. It also had to be affordable on Anuar’s salary as a baker. * After several months of searching, they found the perfect two-bedroom apartment at The Parker Apartments in the Queen Anne neighborhood.

Growing Homes A Year Later at Anchor Flats and Arbora Court In 2018, Bellwether opened Arbora Court, in the University District, and Anchor Flats, in South Lake Union. Both buildings have great access to transit, neighborhood amenities, schools, and job centers. But our vision went beyond creating 200 new homes in great locations. We envisioned residents weaving into neighborhood life and building community. During 2019, this goal came to life as residents settled into their new homes. Read More The roof deck at Anchor Flats has been transformed into a lush garden, pictured below. May 2019 Putt Putt Our 3rd Annual Putt Putt featured clever costumes, mini golf, and tasty beer from four Ballard breweries. Thanks to our amazing Putt Putt teams and breweries, we raised $1,960 to support our Resident Services Coordination Program! June 2019 Building Opportunity Launch 200 guests joined us at the Amazon Spheres to kick off the Building Opportunity Campaign. Guests learned how to invest in affordable housing. We ended the night with $2.4M pledged. Building Opportunity Reaches Goals Capital Campaign In 2019, Bellwether Housing launched the Building Opportunity, a campaign to raise $9M to build 750 new apartments through donations, grants, and impact investments. The campaign, which was originally set to span three years, hit several milestones this year. Read More August 2019 REEL At Real Estate Emerging Leaders (REEL), industry professionals joined us for a lively happy hour. In partnership with Puget Sound’s leading commercial real estate organizations, the event raised over $16,000 for Bellwether! Bellwether Entrusted with Two Buildings UCHA transferred Mary's Boathouse and Sortun Court to Bellwether With staff and board retiring, University Congregational Housing Association (UCHA), an affordable housing operator, chose to dissolve their nonprofit. UCHA wanted to entrust their mission and legacy of providing affordable housing. That’s why they transferred two properties to Bellwether Housing. Sortun Court and Mary’s Boat House are small affordable apartment buildings, mostly with larger family-sized two and three-bedroom apartments. Bellwether is honored to assume ownership of these buildings and continue to steward them. October 2019 Closer to Home Our largest and most successful event yet, the 9th annual Closer to Home Luncheon welcomed over 700 supporters and raised $430K. Nikole Hannah-Jones delivered a powerful speech in which she challenged us to confront and address segregation in Seattle: "White people created segregation, have maintained it, and have to undo it." 2019 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Work Actions & Accountability In 2019, we continued our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work, with a focus on anti-racism. Our 2019 initiatives included: Recruitment and Compensation We started listing salary ranges for every job we post to increase gender and racial pay parity. We stopped asking for and using pay history as the basis for salary offers. By using this practice in the past, we perpetuated pay disparity for people of color, women and people with disabilities. We stopped asking for salary history in 2019 and we corrected compensation disparities in 2020.

Here are some general rules for all of our buildings: Do not put plastic in the compost bin. If there is plastic in the bin, the collection company will take the entire compost to the landfill and not the composting facility. Break down all cardboard items before putting them it in the trash chute or recycling bin. They must be flat. If the trash chute becomes blocked: Contact your Site Manager ASAP. If a trash chute is blocked, do not leave your garbage in the trash room; return it to your apartment until the chute can be cleared.

Other Ways to Donate Sometimes, donations don’t fit in a box. Luckily, there are more than one way to give. Here are some options that may work for you to support Bellwether’s mission. Donations of Property, Buildings or Other Resources Past donors have gifted houses to be sold, buildings to be converted, land to be used. We look forward to working with you to identify, develop, and activate a donation tailored to your unique resources and objectives. Planned & Legacy Gifts With Bellwether Housing’s estate planning options, you can support our work into the future while also ensuring the sound stewardship of your assets by maximizing benefits to you and your family. You can work with us to make planned gifts over time, such as an annual payout for a number of years or up to a certain gift amount from a Trust. We offer many options for legacy gifts, from naming Bellwether in your will, to listing us as a beneficiary of a retirement account, to donating stock: Bequests Income gifts such as Charitable Remainder Trusts IRA Charitable Rollover Donor Advised Funds Charitable Lead Trusts View more about bequests Major Gifts A gift or pledge of $25,000 or greater is a significant investment in Bellwether's mission. At this level of giving, the impact of your donation will ripple throughout entire communities, unlocking their potential and lifting them out of systematic poverty. Major gifts may be made as outright gifts of cash or securities, as pledges payable over a period of time (typically three years) or as planned gifts. They can be restricted to certain uses, or unrestricted. Contact us to discuss options. Matching Gifts Matching gifts are a type of corporate giving program that increase an employee's initial donation to an eligible nonprofit organization. Matching gifts are usually made at a 1:1 ratio, meaning that the initial donation is simply doubled. However, some companies will match at higher ratios, with some going as high as 4:1. Additionally, corporations will institute different ratios for different employees. For example, part-time and full-time employees might be eligible for a 2:1 match while retirees or spouses of employees are eligible for a 1:1 match. If you are a company or organization who supports our mission and wants to encourage employee philanthropy, contact us to create a matching program for your employees. Fundraising Matches Fundraising matches are similar to matching gifts. The only difference is that fundraising match programs will double contributions that employees make as well as any funds that they raise for a fundraising walk, run, or cycling event. Are you interested in making a donation of the types listed here? Have an idea for an unusual donation? Contact our Fund Development Team today! Contact Us Megan Mayes , Director of External Engagement Send an email Bellwether Housing is 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. Gifts to Bellwether Housing are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Advocate for Affordable Housing Bellwether has collaborated with state officials and other housing and service providers to increase future opportunities for affordable apartments. See below for ways that you can help to advocate with us for better laws and policies for affordable housing. Our Upcoming Advocacy Priorities Mobilize support for the renewal of the Seattle Housing Levy in 2023. Pass an Eastside Housing Levy in 2022, creating a new fund. Mobilize for a transformational 2023 Comprehensive Plan in City of Seattle so apartments can be built in all neighborhoods served by frequent transit. Pass the federal Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2021 . This bipartisan bill would dramatically increase federal support for developing new affordable housing. Increase State funding of the Housing Trust Fund and establish a permanent funding source for it. Our Advocacy Agenda Expand resources for housing at the local, state, and federal level. Increase housing density so more homes can be built near transit and in high opportunity neighborhoods in urban King County. Lower development and ownership costs to speed housing development and decrease operating costs. Preserve and expand other supports for the most vulnerable people in our communities, such as rental assistance, emergency eviction moratoriums, vouchers, and other service programs. Improve long term sustainability of our work and the work of other nonprofit housing and human service organizations Housing Policy Wins Housing Policy Wins 2021 City of Seattle Allocated $49.2M from the American Rescue Plan funds for housing and homelessness services. This included $1M to support resident services in non-permanent supportive housing. Rezoned properties owned by faith-based organizations. Allows for extra height and density in return for homes for households with incomes under 60% AMI (Annual Median Income). Renamed “single-family zoning” to “neighborhood residential zoning,” in advance of major rezoning in the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. King County Acquired over 850 homes for chronically homeless people through the Health Through Housing 0.1% sales tax. Another 750 homes will be purchased. State of Washington Legislature Allocated $175M for the Housing Trust Fund . Allocated $120M for Shelter Rapid Acquisition ; a new fund to acquire hotels, motels, and multifamily housing for use as emergency shelter and permanent supportive housing. Amended the housing element of the Growth Management Act . This sets the stage for major Comprehensive Plan updates by cities and counties in 2023 (HB 1220). Funded $42M in grants for utility connections for affordable housing developments. Focuses on rural and suburban areas with limited existing utility infrastructure. Enacted a $100 document recording fee. This funds $280M in rental assistance and operations for permanent supportive housing. Funded housing through the operating budget at a historic level: $130M for Housing and Essential Needs $187M for foreclosure prevention; $37M for operations, maintenance, and services for permanent supportive housing; $20M for long-term vouchers for people with behavioral health or substance abuse disorders. Passed a bill to create a soft landing for the eviction moratorium (SB 5160). This creates a legal right to counsel for tenants facing eviction, requires payment plans for past due rent, and extends some emergency pandemic protections. Federal The federal government allocated $21.5 billion for rental assistance through the American Rescue Plan Act, helping low-income renters stay in their homes. 2020 Local Seattle passed the JumpStart payroll tax, which will raise over $214 million per year, mostly for affordable housing at 0-50% Area Median Income. King County passed the Health Through Housing 0.1% sales tax, which will generate $60 million per year to provide housing for up to 2,000 chronically homeless people. State Housing Trust Fund was funded at a historically high level. Affordable housing and homelessness resources included in the final budgets totaled $174 million. SHB 1590 passed, providing cities and counties the ability to implement the local sales and use tax for affordable housing councilmanically (see Health Through Housing above). SHB 2343 passed, expanding the list of planning actions that cities are encouraged to take to increase residential building capacity. SHB 2384 passed, expanding the property tax exemption for affordable housing providers. $5 million allocated for the Housing Needs Pilot Program to provide rent assistance to elderly or disabled adults on Supplemental Security Income Federal CARES Act funded $100 billion in rental assistance. December 2020 COVID relief omnibus funded an additional $25 billion for rental assistance, to be disbursed in 2021. Established a minimum 4% rate for the 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit at 4% (has ranged between 3% and 3.3% since 2012), effectively expanding tax credit equity by one-third. How you can get involved

< Back Previous Next Security Weather Safety It’s great to prepare for extreme weather conditions, like snowstorms and heat waves, in advance. Stay stocked up on food, prescriptions, and other daily essentials. If you need help accessing food and medical supplies, contact your Resident Services Coordinator. If you drive, make sure that your car is filled with gas In icy conditions, be cautious to avoid falls and accidents. Wear shoes with traction and use walking sticks if needed for extra stability. When possible, avoid going out when there is snow or ice. DO NOT space heaters. Space heaters are not allowed at Bellwether because they are a fire risk. Every apartment has heat. If there is a problem with your heaters, please alert your Site Manager for Maintenance to assess. If there is a power outage, use battery powered lights. Keep these lights where it is easy to find them. During a power outage do not use candles near flammable materials. Keep candles or lanterns out the of the reach of children. Do not use grills, generators, or other gas-powered appliances in your home or anywhere on the property due the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Acts of nature will happen, and it is best to wait them out versus engaging in any risky behaviors. If you need help building an emergency kit, contact your Resident Services Coordinator Previous Next
