Permanently Affordable Homes for Bainbridge Island
Housing Resources Bainbridge (HRB) is Bainbridge Island’s only nonprofit affordable housing provider and advocate.
As a community land trust, we own and develop 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.
