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 36 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.

SAVE THE DATE!
Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day is Friday, February 12, 2010
in Olympia.
Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day is a great opportunity to meet with your elected officials, network with fellow advocates, and attend workshops to become a more effective constituent . Together we can change the conversation in Olympia and support that access to affordable housing is preserved.
We will educate our lawmakers to protect resources such as Operations and Maintenance funding for Housing Trust Fund developments and GAU and encourage them to rebuild our safety net by passing revenue as part of a balanced budget.
Register now! Contact Michael Kelly, Mobilization Coordinator, 206-442-9455 x 203, Michael@wliha.org.
