Partnerships

Bellwether Housing amplifies our impact with joint project development and service provider partnerships. 

  

Joint Project Development   

 

Bellwether partners with non-profit affordable housing developers and operators who demonstrate stability, capacity, and a long-term commitment to building and maintaining affordable housing in the Puget Sound region. We focus on emerging BIPOC developers and community-based organizations to build capacity.  

 

• Mixed-income developments in partnership with non-profit developers  

​​

• Mixed-use projects that combine nonprofit or commercial uses with affordable housing  

​

• Housing projects that need experienced co-ownership and management  

​

• We work together to leverage the knowledge and expertise of community-based organizations to engage the residents and local community members.  

 

Some of the organizations partnering with Bellwether in joint project developments include Chief Seattle Club, Muslim Housing Services, University Christian Church, Mercy Housing Northwest, and Plymouth Housing.  

 

​

Service Provider Partnerships   

​

Bellwether partners with non-profit service providers to plan spaces for culturally-informed uses in our multi-use developments, such as child care and human services.  

 

Organizations with which we have a service provider relationship include; Hopelink, Friends of the Village Collective, El Centro de la Rasa, Kids Co., Family Works, Wellspring Family Services, and DSHS Developmental Disabilities Administration.
