Mission

THE COMMUNITY ROOTS HOUSING FOUNDATION IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT THAT RAISES FUNDS TO SUSTAIN OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT SPECIFIC INITIATIVES OF COMMUNITY ROOTS HOUSING, A PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY THAT STRIVES TO BUILD VIBRANT AND ENGAGED COMMUNITIES IN THE SEATTLE AREA. FOUNDED IN 1976, COMMUNITY ROOTS HAS FOCUSED ITS WORK ON BUILDING AND OPERATING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PROVIDING STABILITY SERVICES TO OUR RESIDENTS, AND DEVELOPING HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO SUSTAIN OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT SPECIFIC INITIATIVES OF COMMUNITY ROOTS HOUSING (FORMERLY CAPITOL HILL HOUSING).

  • THE FOUNDATION UNDERTAKES ANNUAL FUNDRAISING FOR UNRESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY ROOTS GENERAL OPERATING NEEDS AS WELL AS RESTRICTED FUNDING TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY ROOTS PROGRAMS. UNRESTRICTED FUNDS SUPPORT COMMUNITY ROOTS' CORE ACTIVITIES IN THE SEATTLE AREA BUILDING NEW AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR LOWINCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AS WELL AS OPERATING AND MAINTAINING AN EXISTING PORTFOLIO OF NEARLY 2,000 AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR ALMOST 2,200 RESIDENTS.

    Expenses $714,872 · Grants $714,872

  • THE FOUNDATION MOBILIZES RESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY ROOTS HOUSING'S RESIDENT SERVICES PROGRAM. RESIDENT SERVICES PARTNERS WITH RESIDENTS TO ENCOURAGE SUCCESSFUL TENANCY AND HOUSING STABILITY THROUGH RESOURCE AND REFERRAL SERVICES, SUPPORTIVE PROGRAMMING, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THE PROGRAM IS GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT WHEN RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVICES AND SUPPORT, THEY NEED TO THRIVE AND NOT JUST SURVIVE, IT CREATES CASCADING IMPACTS OF HOUSING STABILITY, RESILIENCY, AND COMMUNITY CONNECTEDNESS.

    Expenses $19,000 · Grants $19,000

  • THE FOUNDATION ALSO MOBILIZES RESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE CAPITOL HILL ECODISTRICT, A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN INITIATIVE THAT PROMOTES AN ENVIRONMENTALLY RESILIENT, SOCIALLY EQUITABLE, AND CULTURALLY VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD IN SEATTLE'S CENTER CITY. THE ECODISTRICT PARTNERS WITH A RANGE OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING RESIDENTS, SMALL BUSINESSES, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, CITY OF SEATTLE AGENCIES, AND MAJOR INSTITUTIONS TO TEST INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE LIVABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES OF THE MOST DENSELY POPULATED URBAN VILLAGE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

    Expenses $367,150 · Grants $367,150

  • IN ADDITION TO ANNUAL FUNDRAISING FOR ONGOING PROGRAMS AND GENERAL OPERATIONS, THE FOUNDATION ALSO SUPPORTS SPECIAL INITIATIVES OF COMMUNITY ROOTS HOUSING. DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WHICH INTENSIFIED FINANCIAL AND HOUSING INSECURITY FOR MANY LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED A TARGETED FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY ROOTS RESIDENTS' URGENT RENTAL ASSISTANCE NEEDS. IN 2023, WE LAUNCHED A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR A NEW ITERATION OF THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM CALLED THE HOUSING STABILIZATION PROGRAM, WHICH NOT ONLY PROVIDES ONE-TIME RENTAL ASSISTANCE, BUT COUPLES IT WITH ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT THAT AIMS TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF EACH HOUSEHOLD'S ECONOMIC STABILITY. BEYOND THESE EFFORTS, THE FOUNDATION IS THE BACKBONE ORGANIZATION FOR A COLLABORATIVE $45 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN CALLED RISE TOGETHER, WHICH KICKED OFF IN DECEMBER 2017. THE CAMPAIGN, LED BY SIX PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, IS SUPPORTING SIX EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE SEATTLE AREA THAT ADDRESS URGENT NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES INCLUDING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, DISPLACEMENT, COMMUNITY HEALTH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION. MUCH OF THE CAPITAL FUNDS ARE FLOWING THROUGH THE FOUNDATION, THOUGH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION IS ALSO BEING SECURED BY CAMPAIGN PARTNERS. THE CAMPAIGN HAS LED TO THE LARGEST PRIVATE GIFTS IN THE FOUNDATION'S HISTORY, INCLUDING MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR GRANTS.
