Permanently affordable homes for Bainbridge Island

Housing Resources Bainbridge is a community land trust, conserving land for permanently affordable housing. By making it possible for people of diverse backgrounds and incomes to live on Bainbridge, we are building a more equitable, inclusive, and healthy community.

Baked Good

Twenty of the 24 staff at Blackbird Bakery commute from off island, motivated by the opportunity to bake and to be part of a vibrant and supportive workplace where diversity and collaboration are celebrated. But what if they could live here too? What would that mean for the business—and for Bainbridge as a whole? Read more.

Let’s build Finch Green

This fall, HRB will break ground on Finch Green, the third and final project in our three-part capital campaign which will produce 53 permanently affordable homes for Bainbridge Island: HRB at the Oliver (2024), the Ericksen Community (expected completion July 2026), and Finch Green (groundbreaking fall 2026).

This has been a time of exceptional progress and community generosity, and we look to our community once more as we enter the home stretch for Finch Green. In our video, you’ll hear not only about the genesis of these projects, but from community members, business owners, and HRB residents who all benefit from affordable housing and understand its value in creating a stronger, more sustainable and vibrant community.
