Bellingham for Everyone

Bellingham For Everyone is a public-focused education campaign designed to encourage neighbors to be involved in local housing issues – we want to educate residents around housing policy and solutions in a way that is easy to understand, dispels common myths, uplifts underrepresented voices, and connects housing to community values.
