Housing Lopez

Housing Lopez is a non-profit organization located at 160 Village Road, Lopez Island, Washington, United States. The institution is dedicated to solving the rental housing crisis on Lopez Island by developing dedicated, affordable, sustainable rental housing communities. With over 450 households on Lopez earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), many residents struggle to afford the average rent on the island. This includes 227 senior households who are finding it difficult to maintain their homes.

About 40% of all Lopez renter households are considered "housing cost-burdened," spending more than a third of their monthly income on housing costs. This leaves many residents without enough money for other basic needs such as food, childcare, transportation, and health care.

Housing Lopez aims to address this concern and ensure the availability of safe, affordable rental housing so that hard-working Lopezians and the island community as a whole can thrive. Through a dedication to equity, caring support, and sustainability, the organization seeks to strengthen the community through stable affordable rental housing.

The lack of stable, affordable rental housing threatens the stability of the community, and your support is crucial in ensuring the success of Housing Lopez. With more than one-third of the organization's budget coming from private donations, your contribution directly supports the mission of solving the housing crisis on Lopez Island.
