This GiveBig, you showed up. And your support funds more than buildings. It funds service coordinators who connect residents with healthcare, education, and employment resources. It enables stewardship that maintains safe, welcoming homes. It supports partnerships that create opportunities for leadership and community engagement.

Thank you for understanding that housing is about wholeness, not just walls. Thank you for the $40,223 you donated through GiveBIG 2026. And thank you for every dollar which makes a difference in keeping Vashon here.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community — and matching gifts from the Hendrix Foundation and the Mann family — we raised more than $40,000 this Give Big season to help keep Vashon residents safely and stably housed.

Every donation helps us maintain and steward the homes our community depends on. It helps repair aging buildings, respond to urgent maintenance needs, support vulnerable residents, and protect permanently affordable housing for the people who make this island whole — teachers, caregivers, artists, seniors, tradespeople, and working families.

Together, we are building something different:
🏡 Homes that stay affordable for generations
🏡 A stronger, more resilient Vashon
🏡 An island where people can continue to live, work, age, and belong

Your support helps us move from patchwork solutions to long-term stewardship and stability. It tells our residents — and our entire community — that they matter here.

Thank you for believing in a Vashon where everyone has a place to call home. We are deeply grateful. ❤️

A more accessible Vashon? You said yes. And now we're SO close to meeting our goal for better outcomes for our island neighbors.

At Vashon HouseHold we are overwhelmed by the commitment this island is showing to housing all our neighbors - and to keeping those affordable homes safe and dignified. Your investment this year has already been profound. And now we’re only $2,300 from realizing our full match and meeting our $40,000 goal for Give Big.

https://www.wagives.org/organization/vashon-household

Meeting that goal will allow us to make investments that might not seem glamorous. A new exterior coat of paint for one of our six rental properties. A new set of blinds for a new resident. Elevator annual inspections in our senior housing. Connection to social services for people exiting homelessness at Island Center Homes. New stormwater filters for Eernisse.

You get the idea. Each may seem sort of, well, mundane. But taken together they change the way a resident experiences home. They change how long an apartment we invested so much in building lasts. They change who gets to call Vashon home for generations - and they change who we are and can be as a community.

Right now we’re $2,300 away from unlocking our full match for Give Big. That number might seem small - or it might seem large. Regardless, it represents what VHH can make possible for our island neighbors who need help to keep this place a home.

If you have not yet had a chance to give this season, our match is still live. Your investment today means a better tomorrow for 400 people who love living on Vashon and who keep our community whole.

Thank you to everyone who’s given so generously to help get us so close to our goal. Your dollars are already hard at work preserving and expanding affordable housing!

There’s no longer a question of what’s happening on Vashon. Affordable housing is disappearing. The workforce is shrinking. The balance that makes this island special and makes it work is tipping.

The real question is: what do we do about it?

https://www.wagives.org/organization/vashon-household

At Vashon HouseHold, we’re clear on the way forward. We’re preserving the homes we have. We’re building the next generation of permanently affordable housing. We’re advocating for innovative policy solutions. And we’re strengthening the systems needed to sustain this work for decades. This isn’t a short-term fix. It’s a long-term solution.

And it’s within reach, because this community continues to step forward.

Right now, every gift made to Vashon HouseHold is matched up to $20,000 through the generosity of the Hendrix Foundation and the Mann family. They believe in our vision for Vashon - show them you’re with them, and with us, and make a gift today.

Your support today goes twice as far in building a stable,
affordable future for an island in balance.

You can help stop the next moving truck from leaving Vashon. Your gift today can help keep our kids in Vashon schools, help our elders age where they planted roots, help our artists keep creating, and help keep Vashon whole.

https://www.vashonhousehold.org/

Every moving truck takes a piece of our community with it. But the story of Vashon has always been one of people choosing to show up for each other — and it includes everyone who calls this island home, no matter when they arrived.

Right now we have $20,000 in matching funds available through the generosity of the Hendrix Foundation and the Mann family. That means every single dollar you give between now and May 8th goes further.

This GiveBig season, you can be part of helping us keep our community whole. Your investment in Vashon HouseHold supports permanently affordable housing on this island for generations to come.

Volunteers at our Raise the Roof fundraiser set the tone.

Our vision: 300 permanently affordable homes by 2035. That means developing 150 new units while stewarding the 166 homes we already manage. This bold goal requires partnership: between residents, donors, volunteers, local government, and service providers.

Your gift today builds tomorrow's community. Partner with us at vashonhousehold.org/

Charter House Glow-Up Complete! We’re excited to share the completion of the final phase of renovations at Charter House—including beautiful, fully updated bathrooms for residents.

This nearly $1M investment, funded by the Washington State Housing Preservation Program, has transformed this 9-unit building inside and out—strengthening safety, comfort, and long-term sustainability.

Highlights include:
🏡 Critical interior and exterior rehabilitation
🚿 Brand-new, modern bathrooms
♿ Creation of a fully ADA-compatible unit to support accessibility and independence

These upgrades mean more than just improvements—they help ensure Charter House remains a stable, dignified home for seniors and neighbors with disabilities for years to come.

Because at Vashon HouseHold, stewardship is mission—and every investment protects community. 💚
