Building a Stronger Community Through Housing
We are committed to developing innovative solutions to address the pressing
need for year-round housing on Cortes Island.
Some statistics
The Problem
Unstable Housing
Every spring, many renters have to vacate their housing for the tourist season.
High Demand
There are not enough year-round rentals and owners are reluctant to rent.
Empty Homes
Approximately 240 homes are empty
for most of the year.
Living Conditions
30% of residents don’t have an indoor toilet, and 8% don’t have hot water.
People are struggling to remain on island
and the community we love is at risk. We only have a
few years to change direction before it’s too late.
