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. 

Update on Rent Stabilization Legislation (HB 1217)

With the passage of HB 1217, many renters and manufactured homeowners in Washington are now protected from rent gouging. Want to learn more? Join the Housing Alliance for two training sessions that will go deep into the ins and outs of the new law.

Lawyers will discuss who is covered, additional protections included in HB 1217, and how to enforce your new rights. These trainings are free and open to renters, manufactured homeowners, service providers, and advocates. Both sessions will have simultaneous interpretation in Spanish.
