Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Founded by low-income tenants and neighbors in 1976, the cascade shelter project is a member led cooperative dedicated to sustaining truly affordable housing in the heart of seattle. Tenant-members collectively steward three, adjoined historic buildings with twelve individual apartments ranging in size. We provide housing, cultivate community, and maintain the financial and physical integrity of the property, prioritizing disenfranchised communities. In the context of a regional housing crisis, we offer a model of tenant-led and managed affordable housing that is autonomous, inclusivie, empowered, and sustainable.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
With the Displaced Tenants Fund grant of $350000 and qualifying for the City of Seattle HomeWise Weatherization Program in 2020, we were able to begin our upgrade of foundation and new tool room floor remodel, tankless water heaters, sidewalks rebuilt, gaslines upgraded. With each project, members did Project Management and volunteered our labor to do work which lowered the price of our contracts. We also revised many of our organizational documents.-$130,952
