The Threshold Fund is a revolving loan guaranty fund, established as a way to build more workforce homes for less money. It is designed to do two simple, powerful things: First, reduce the cost of borrowing for construction loans for affordable housing providers. And second, create a reusable pool of funding so that more permanently affordable homes can be built. As loans are repaid, the funds are reused to guarantee loans for new projects. It’s philanthropic recycling! More houses to market, more families in safe, stable homes.

Over 700 people are homeless in Whatcom County on any given day.  Many more don’t have stable housing throughout the year. Lighthouse Mission Ministries breaks the cycle of homelessness in the lives of men, women, and children by providing the most vulnerable in our community with access to three meals a day, safe shelter, and a community where life transformation can happen.

When a young person experiencing homelessness has the access and opportunity to meet basic needs, they are able to transform their lives. Through supportive housing and targeted services for youth and young adults in Whatcom and Skagit Counties, Northwest Youth Services supports young people as they overcome adversity, harness self-determinism, and learn to thrive in the community.
