Thurston Housing Land Trust

Thurston Housing Land Trust is a tax exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. We are a democratic, community-based housing land trust operating in Thurston County, Washington. Our mission is to create affordable housing for low and moderate income people as a means for building equity and pathways to ownership.

The Trust seeks public and private funding through grants, financing and donations, including lands or properties. The scope of activities is open to socially valuable uses other than housing.

The Trust is committed to multiple levels of democratically inclusive governance across the organization or property, where appropriate, that balances needs of members, residents, and donors.

Our volunteer board is comprised of three parts to represent the general community, potential and future lessees, and members of the low income housing community. We are committed to preserving permanently affordable housing throughout Thurston County.

Formed in 2019, we currently have one property in our portfolio and are working on a six-unit property which will be ready for new first-time homebuyers in 2026.
