Lutheran Alliance To Create Housing
About: "LATCH is a grass-roots coalition of Lutheran church congregations, incorporated in 1990 to address the need of homeless and low-income families and individuals for decent, affordable housing within communities of mutual support and accountability. Currently LATCH owns and operates 208 apartments and houses in Bothell, Kenmore, Shoreline, SeaTac and the Greenwood and West Seattle neighborhoods of Seattle, providing stable homes to more than 550 people per year. "
Mission: "LATCH builds safe and nurturing communities that recognize the right to affordable housing, the importance of self-determination, and the value of mutual respect. We work collaboratively to develop and maintain housing; create resident-managed rental cooperatives; and advocate for public policies that address the needs of our communities."
