Mt Baker Housing

Mt. Baker Housing builds more than homes. We build opportunity, stability, and connection.

With empathy, creativity, and strong partnerships, we create affordable housing and support systems that help working families in Southeast Seattle grow and thrive. Baker Housing Association is a nonprofit organization that develops affordable housing in southeast Seattle. We revitalize and preserve existing properties through sustainable funding partnerships and efficient renovation practices, an

d then offer ongoing support to our residents. We believe vibrant communities begin at home and that all people, regardless of income, should have a secure, affordable place to live. Baker Housing Association is a community based 501(C) 3 non-profit organization governed by a nine member Board of Directors, each of whom resides in or near the Rainier Valley.

We are proud to celebrate a major milestone for Mt. Baker Housing.

Within the last month, both The Maddux and Tahoma Valley have officially transitioned from construction financing to permanent financing, marking a significant step forward in the long-term stability and sustainability of these communities.

Together, these properties provide 409 affordable homes in Southeast Seattle and represent years of planning, partnership, and commitment to creating housing built to last.

While this transition largely happens behind the scenes, its impact is meaningful. Permanent financing positions these communities for long-term stewardship, operational stability, and continued investment in the residents and families who call them home.

We are so grateful to the many partners, funders, and staff who worked tirelessly to make this moment possible.

Neighbor to Neighbor is rooted in a simple belief: strong communities are built together.

This new initiative connects residents, neighbors, and community partners in shared investment toward the long-term strength of our communities, supporting youth programs, resident engagement, community events, and opportunities that help families thrive.

Because housing is more than buildings. It’s belonging, opportunity, and connection.

This month, we’re excited to share more about the people, programs, and partnerships that make this work possible.

Last week, the Mt. Baker Housing team spent the day volunteering with Sound Foundations NW at the Hope Factory.

Together, staff worked alongside a crew of other volunteers to help build a tiny home that will provide shelter and stability for one of our neighbors transitioning out of homelessness. The day was a meaningful opportunity to step outside of our daily work, serve alongside one another, and contribute to a broader network of community care working toward housing stability for all.

At Mt. Baker Housing, we believe strong communities are built through partnership, service, and shared responsibility. We are grateful to Sound Foundations NW for the opportunity to contribute to work that is creating dignity, stability, and hope throughout our region.

We are grateful to Sugarlump Consignment for their generous donation of books for the Literacy Room at The Maddux. Their contribution is helping fill this space with stories, learning, and opportunity for the youth in our community.

The Literacy Room at The Maddux is not just a physical space. It is a program designed to support long-term learning and provide opportunities for youth.

As we continue building out the room, we are also developing the programming that will activate it. This includes volunteer-led literacy support, consistent weekly sessions, and a culturally responsive environment designed to meet youth where they are.

We’re working alongside partners and community members to create a welcoming, resource-rich environment that reflects the experiences of the families we serve.

Each step forward brings us closer to opening a space rooted in learning, connection, and opportunity.

We’re proud to recognize Banner Bank for their support of the Literacy Room at The Maddux.

Their investment is helping create a dedicated space where youth can access books, receive learning support, and build confidence within their own community.

Thank you, Banner Bank, for helping us grow what's possible!

At Tahoma Valley, a resident-led storytelling activity is strengthening the connection between home and school.

The facilitator, who also leads this program at a local elementary school, brings an added layer of familiarity and trust. Many of the children already know her, which increases engagement and creates a more supportive and welcoming learning environment.

Through interactive storytelling, youth are building creativity, communication skills, and confidence, reinforcing that learning extends beyond the classroom and into everyday life.

Mt. Baker Housing is looking forward to bringing more programs like this to life in the Literacy Room.
