Skagit Habitat for Humanity CEO Tina Tate added, “Affordable housing solutions that our non-profit provides open up opportunities for low-income, hard-working families to invest in their future, including community involvement, education, finances, and career paths. We are so grateful to our sponsors, guests, volunteers, and staff for coming together to make this event possible. We love seeing members of the Skagit community unite to 'unmask' the path to affordable housing!”
Based in Mount Vernon, WA., Skagit Habitat for Humanity working with community donors, sponsors and volunteers is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through affordable housing solutions. Through the organization’s innovative efforts like its Homebuyer Program, the local non-profit works with hard-working, low-income families in the County to build, buy and maintain affordable homes.
More specifically – Skagit Habitat targets families that have a household income between $28,860-$57,720, or just 30-60% of the County’s Area Median Income for a family of four. With these families the organization builds permanent, affordable housing side-by-side with the future homeowners.
Join Skagit Habitat for Humanity and Raise the Roof on March 9 to celebrate affordable housing. Individual, VIP and full table ticket options are available for purchase now.
