About Us People Our Residents Strategic Plan Equity & Inclusion Funding Mission History Approach Future About Bellwether We create stable communities and access to opportunity through affordable housing. Mission Mission & Vision Bellwether Housing creates stable communities and access to opportunity through affordable housing. We develop and manage homes for people with limited incomes near job centers, transit, and services. We amplify our impact by helping other organizations in the Puget Sound region do the same. We envision diverse communities where people of all incomes and backgrounds share in the prosperity of our region. History Timeline History Bellwether Housing was founded in 1980 to create housing in downtown Seattle so city workers could live close to their jobs. After over 40 years of success and growth, Bellwether is the Puget Sound region's largest nonprofit affordable housing provider. Today Bellwether apartments are home to approximately 5,000 residents (and counting). Bellwether continues to lead the affordable housing industry in finding innovative ways to build strong, healthy communities within its own portfolio and on behalf of other nonprofit organizations. We have developed thousands of apartment homes and numerous community facilities as a development consultant for other nonprofits. Our Approach As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Bellwether Housing builds and manages high quality affordable housing so that people of diverse backgrounds and incomes thrive in urban King County’s high-cost housing market. As the Puget Sound region’s largest nonprofit affordable housing provider, Bellwether Housing serves 5,000 residents annually in 3,000 apartments. Our 35 buildings (and counting!) are near workplaces, schools, childcare, and community amenities in vibrant, transit-rich neighborhoods. We serve families large and small, households recovering from homelessness, seniors, immigrants, preschool teachers and social workers, and young people just starting out. Living at Bellwether, residents gain access to the resources and prosperity of their surrounding communities and, in turn, cultivate a more inclusive and equitable city. To meet the intense need for affordable housing in the region, we plan to build and acquire more homes every year. Since 2016, Bellwether has targeted new development in neighborhoods that have incredible access to transit, public services such as libraries, parks, and excellent schools, and allow for strong ties to community supports such as YMCA’s, Boys & Girls Clubs, community centers, health care facilities and food banks. We have developed or are developing in Queen Anne, Roosevelt, the University District, First Hill, Bitter Lake and Rainier Beach. Bellwether’s resident are majority BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and our larger households with children are nearly 80% families of color. Low-income families have fewer housing options than any other population in Seattle. Since 2016, Bellwether has prioritized the development of 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments to create as many options as possible for low-income families. Although these larger apartments are more challenging to develop and operate, Bellwether believes it is imperative that our community be a place in which lower income families – particularly BIPOC families - can thrive. Our apartment communities include resident amenity areas, such as community rooms, outdoor play spaces, gardens, and laundry; and attentive on-site management. Our on-site resident services program connects residents with the resources, services, benefits, and community relationships they need to thrive. Future Looking forward, Bellwether continues to integrate four decades of success with innovative and pioneering development approaches to make housing in our region more accessible, inclusive, and affordable to all. In the next five years, we plan to build or acquire new apartments, grow our organization to maintain and operate these new units, and continue to embed anti-racism into our organization's culture and work.

2019 Annual Report So much has changed since we began 2020, and I find it almost surreal to place myself back in 2019. But I am very happy for this opportunity to reflect on what was very real last year - Bellwether was busy building stable communities, providing families with access to opportunity, and giving people a place to call home. Susan Boyd, CEO CEO Letter Susan Boyd, CEO Writing the introductory letter for our annual report is always an exercise in reflection. We send this report out after our financial statements for the year have been fully audited, which typically doesn’t happen until summer of the following year. So we are always sharing with you the activities and events of a year we left behind several months ago. This year, it feels less like a reflection and more like the retelling of a dream. Read More I feel happy when I wake up. It’s a weight off the shoulders to have the ability to save money and be able to actually live your life again. Diana, resident Pictured here with Anuar and Kita the pup in their apartment at The Parker. A Shared Future in Queen Anne Anuar & Diana's Story When Anuar and Diana decided to move in together, finding a home wasn’t easy. They needed an apartment close to downtown, with enough space for the couple and Diana’s young son Julian, near good schools, transportation, and parks. It also had to be affordable on Anuar’s salary as a baker. * After several months of searching, they found the perfect two-bedroom apartment at The Parker Apartments in the Queen Anne neighborhood.

Growing Homes A Year Later at Anchor Flats and Arbora Court In 2018, Bellwether opened Arbora Court, in the University District, and Anchor Flats, in South Lake Union. Both buildings have great access to transit, neighborhood amenities, schools, and job centers. But our vision went beyond creating 200 new homes in great locations. We envisioned residents weaving into neighborhood life and building community. During 2019, this goal came to life as residents settled into their new homes. Read More The roof deck at Anchor Flats has been transformed into a lush garden, pictured below. May 2019 Putt Putt Our 3rd Annual Putt Putt featured clever costumes, mini golf, and tasty beer from four Ballard breweries. Thanks to our amazing Putt Putt teams and breweries, we raised $1,960 to support our Resident Services Coordination Program! June 2019 Building Opportunity Launch 200 guests joined us at the Amazon Spheres to kick off the Building Opportunity Campaign. Guests learned how to invest in affordable housing. We ended the night with $2.4M pledged. Building Opportunity Reaches Goals Capital Campaign In 2019, Bellwether Housing launched the Building Opportunity, a campaign to raise $9M to build 750 new apartments through donations, grants, and impact investments. The campaign, which was originally set to span three years, hit several milestones this year. Read More August 2019 REEL At Real Estate Emerging Leaders (REEL), industry professionals joined us for a lively happy hour. In partnership with Puget Sound’s leading commercial real estate organizations, the event raised over $16,000 for Bellwether! Bellwether Entrusted with Two Buildings UCHA transferred Mary's Boathouse and Sortun Court to Bellwether With staff and board retiring, University Congregational Housing Association (UCHA), an affordable housing operator, chose to dissolve their nonprofit. UCHA wanted to entrust their mission and legacy of providing affordable housing. That’s why they transferred two properties to Bellwether Housing. Sortun Court and Mary’s Boat House are small affordable apartment buildings, mostly with larger family-sized two and three-bedroom apartments. Bellwether is honored to assume ownership of these buildings and continue to steward them. October 2019 Closer to Home Our largest and most successful event yet, the 9th annual Closer to Home Luncheon welcomed over 700 supporters and raised $430K. Nikole Hannah-Jones delivered a powerful speech in which she challenged us to confront and address segregation in Seattle: "White people created segregation, have maintained it, and have to undo it." 2019 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Work Actions & Accountability In 2019, we continued our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work, with a focus on anti-racism. Our 2019 initiatives included: Recruitment and Compensation We started listing salary ranges for every job we post to increase gender and racial pay parity. We stopped asking for and using pay history as the basis for salary offers. By using this practice in the past, we perpetuated pay disparity for people of color, women and people with disabilities. We stopped asking for salary history in 2019 and we corrected compensation disparities in 2020. Read More November 2019 Ballard Brewed 500 beer lovers packed Hale’s Palladium to support affordable housing. Friends and neighbors enjoyed donated beer from ten Ballard breweries, listened to live music, and raised over $16,700 for Bellwether! 2019 Financials Thank You to Our 2019 Supporters!
