Born & raised in Southeast Seattle
About Mt. Baker Housing
In 1988 a group of community members came together, determined to preserve the Mt. Baker Village Apartments – a 9-building complex that had become home to many Khmer refugees and Khmer American families. Through extensive rehabilitation from 1988 to 1990, those buildings were transformed into a lasting symbol of community strength and the power of partnership. Mt. Baker Housing was born from this resilience, and we continue in that spirit today.

Who We Are
Supporting Housing
Stability
At Mt. Baker Housing, our approach to managing and operating our portfolio of affordable homes is grounded in a commitment to quality, resident well-being, and long-term sustainability.
We recognize that affordable housing is more than just a physical structure. It is the foundation for stability, opportunity, and community. As such, we not only hold ourselves to high maintenance standards, but also work collaboratively with property management to provide residents with access to services tailored to meet their individual needs.
​
Offering Tailored Services
Our Resident Services program provides personalized, culturally responsive support to help residents access vital resources like healthcare, transportation, job training, and opportunities for social connection.
Rooted in three pillars—resident assistance, community events, and resident-led initiatives—our services go beyond basic support to fostering stability, empowerment, and a deep sense of belonging within our communities. By meeting residents where they are, we help build stronger ties among neighbors and create vibrant, inclusive communities.
Centering Community in Development
At Mt. Baker Housing, we believe real estate development is about more than buildings. It is about people, community, and opportunity.
We create safe, stable, and affordable housing through inclusive, community-driven development that reflects the values and needs of the neighborhoods we serve. Guided by sustainability, equity, and long-term affordability, we partner with local organizations to foster thriving communities where families can dream, small businesses can grow, and future generations can thrive.
