Current Development Projects

Community-Led Development Meets Deep-Rooted Partnerships

We embrace community-led development and engage in deep-rooted partnerships because it takes all of us to create equitable, vibrant communities. Learn about our current buildings here.

Community Roots Housing has more than 1,000 apartments in our development pipeline. We are actively seeking to expand our portfolio to help address the affordability crisis in Seattle. We aim to accomplish this by developing new affordable properties, rehabilitating and preserving current affordable housing, and acquiring existing buildings.
