- Adopt and support the goal and purposes of the Alliance

- Identify education, technical assistance, and advocacy priorities to advance Alliance objectives
- Seek to ensure that the Whatcom Housing Alliance is not unnecessarily duplicating other’s work, but rather complements that work through community collaboration and engagement
