Low Income Housing Institute (Lihi)

It finances and manages over 1,700 units across multiple counties in Washington, including innovative tiny

home villages built in collaboration with local partners.

Their projects span permanent housing, transitional apartments, and hygiene centers—like a downtown rest stop offering showers, laundry, and toiletries.

Alongside real

estate development, they run case management, life

skills training, youth programs, and financial literacy workshops at housing sites.

Unlike typical nonprofits, they both own property and deliver on

site services—blending bricks

and

mortar with hands

on resident support.

Affordable housing does not mean poor quality housing.

Innovative partnerships, creative project development and sustainable design features in affordable housing makes for a healthy, strong, and committed community.

Develops, owns and operates housing for the benefit of low

income, homeless and formerly homeless people in Washington State.

Administers a range of supportive service programs to assist those we serve in maintaining stable housing and increasing their self

sufficiency.
