Office of Rural and Farmworker Housing

Office of Rural and Farmworker Housing ORFH is a private, nonprofit housing developer of multi-family rental housing for low-income people in rural Washington State. Learn more at www.orfh.org.

ORFH guides nonprofits and public housing authorities through all phases of housing development. ORFH’s work on permanent farmworker housing is supported, in part, through a contract with the US Department of Labor and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. This contract covers approximately 10% of ORFH’s annual costs.

The approximately $18 million renovation of the former St. Elizabeth Nursing School building in Yakima is a few months away from opening.
