Our Achievements
Housing Lopez emerged from a grassroots initiative aimed at addressing the rental housing shortage on Lopez Island. Recognizing that existing efforts primarily focused on homeownership, a group of local community leaders, real estate professionals, construction experts, and finance specialists united to tackle the rental housing crisis. This collaboration led to the establishment of Housing Lopez, Inc., which received its nonprofit status on October 18, 2018.
