LATCH is a coalition of Lutheran congregations whose mission is to build safe and nurturing communities that recognize the right to affordable housing, the importance of self-determination, and the value of mutual respect. We work collaboratively to develop and maintain housing, create resident-managed rental cooperatives, and advocate for public policies that address the needs of our communities. LATCH was incorporated as a non-profit housing development organization in 1990. Today LATCH has 35 member congregations and it owns and operates 205 apartments - providing stable, affordable homes to nearly 500 people, half of whom are children.
This Website is intended to tell you a little bit about us, provide progress reports on our latest projects and events, communicate information for those seeking housing, and allow people to contribute financially.
