Together we can make Bellingham a city for the many, not just the wealthy few.

We believe stable housing is necessary to provide the opportunities and security people need to live healthy and successful lives and create thriving communities.

Today, skyrocketing rents are pricing our neighbors out of town or into homelessness. Landlords profit and dominate our political system. If this continues, working people will be unable to afford to live in Bellingham. Our community is hurting — and we're fed up.

By coming together, we can build our political power and pass new laws that protect our health, safety, and access to housing. 

Renters are a majority in Bellingham. We have power — we just need to get organized. 

Your Voice Matters!

The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance and BTU are working to pass bills in the Washington state legislature that limit how much landlords can raise rents and prevent predatory rent increases. We're gathering to show lawmakers why we need to stop excessive rent increases. Please complete the survey below

Good New Alert!

BTU has been collaborating with Councilmember Cotton to create an ordinance banning excessive fees for rentals. We would love to hear your input on them!
