Imagine Housing develops affordable housing, builds welcoming communities and fosters vibrant futures. Our vision is an Eastside with interconnected and welcoming communities where all people can live, learn, work and play. We know that stability for the whole community starts with stability at home, one family at a time. However, for the hundreds of people in our community without a home, stability is nearly impossible. These men, women and children spend their nights in emergency shelters, cars, parks or outside on the street. They often don\'t sleep well, unsure if their family will be safe until morning. Not all of the people Imagine Housing serves are homeless. In our community, there are thousands of other families who have a roof overhead, but at far too high a price. Many local families are rent-burdened - paying more than 30 percent of their income towards rent. The high cost of rent places these families under incredible financial stress since funds are not available to meet other critical needs such as food, clothing and medical care. For these reasons and others, Imagine Housing is working strategically and rapidly to ensure that the most vulnerable among us have a safe, supportive and affordable place to call home. We are making dreams come true for hundreds of Eastside families and individuals. Our residential communities in Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island and Redmond provide affordable rental homes to people in need of a place to live. Additionally, we offer the targeted services and support that our residents need to be stable, self-supporting and contributing members of our vibrant Eastside community. For the latest information and updates about what Imagine Housing is doing in the community, please like us on Facebook and Twitter, or email us at i•••@imaginehousing.org.
