Someone recently asked us a really good question: "What about people who earn too much to qualify for Village North? We need housing for working families, too."

Our answer? We agree. And we've been working on it for years.

Here's what Housing Lopez has built, who it serves, and where we're headed next. → housinglopez.org/you-spoke-we-listened

One community. Two dreams becoming reality.

The Lopez Food Center is preparing to break ground, and Village North Phase 1 is already home to 15 households right here on Lopez Island.

These projects happened because this community believed in a shared vision and invested in it. Few things are more beautiful than that.

Research consistently shows that stable, affordable housing produces ripple effects that reach far beyond just having a roof overhead. Noting improvements in physical health, mental wellbeing, children's educational outcomes, financial stability, and even reduced emergency healthcare use, it turns out that when people aren't busy trying to survive, the body and mind finally have space to heal.
