About HRB:

Founded in 1989, Housing Resources Bainbridge (HRB) is Bainbridge Island’s only nonprofit affordable housing provider and advocate. As a community land trust, we remove land from the speculative market and conserve it for permanently affordable housing for rent and sale to income\-eligible households. HRB also offers independent living services so that older adults and people with disabilities might continue to live at home.

Limited inventory on Bainbridge Island has pushed prices beyond reach of all but top\-tier earners. Increasingly, people who work on Bainbridge—educators, first responders, city employees, service industry workers, those who care for our oldest and youngest community members, and so many others—live off island far from their work and endure personally and environmentally unsustainable commutes. Longtime residents who had hoped to remain in the communities they helped build are leaving. And young families and other newcomers—people who bring diverse backgrounds, new ideas and energy—are being kept away.

As a provider of affordable housing, HRB counters this displacement, builds community resilience and equity, and sustains the social connections across generations, cultures, and classes that strengthen and enliven our community.
