At Community Roots Housing, we believe that people need more than just a roof over their heads to build a stable and thriving life. Many low-income households live on the edge of housing stability, facing a disproportionate risk of homelessness with an unexpected job loss or health emergency. Referrals to supportive services can provide our neighbors with a critical buffer in times of financial crisis.

Resident Services, launched in 2011, goes beyond providing housing—it connects individuals and families with essential resources to help them succeed. In 2024, we’ve seen the tangible impact of this work. Over 350 residents have been referred to or supported with services like rental assistance, grocery gift cards, childcare, counseling, employment opportunities, and much more.

Through the Thriving Neighbors 2024 end of year campaign, we are raising $50,000 to sustain and expand this vital work. By investing in our work to empower Community Roots Housing residents, you’re investing in a vibrant and thriving Seattle for every neighbor.

Community Roots Housing is responding to the ongoing rent debt crisis by launching the Housing Stabilization Program, a pilot project designed to provide targeted financial and supportive resources for Community Roots residents who live at the Liberty Bank Building. With your help, our goal is to raise funds to support the costs of rental assistance, Resident Services staff time, and other implementation expenses associated with this new model.
