There's a New Community Coming to Lopez Village
Phase 1
Village North is Phase 1 of a three-phase development project on the site which will eventually provide up to 45 affordable rental housing units.
These homes will make a substantial dent in the affordable housing crisis on Lopez Island, and a significant improvement in the lives of low-income workers, seniors, and families who call Lopez home.
By housing the workers that create a functioning island economy, this project will be a game changer for the Lopez community as a whole.

Lopez Needs Your Support!
Behind the beautiful landscapes and the wonderful community of people, Lopez is struggling with a housing crisis.
40% of housing on Lopez consists of single-family homes that are either seasonally vacant when the owners are off-island or are short term vacation rentals, leaving a small number of available year-round rentals.
Nearly 40% of renter households and 75% of low-income households on Lopez are cost-burdened (paying more than 30% of their income on housing).
- Currently 3% (nearly 100 members of our community) are homeless and often forced to live in seasonal rentals, substandard housing
- Local businesses cannot hire employees because those potential staff people cannot afford to live on the island.
