BELLINGHAM, Wash. There’s good news for Bellingham’s homeless residents.
The City of Bellingham is partnering with Low Income Housing Instute and Road2Home to establish a new tiny house village, expected to open late spring 2021.
The Low Income Housing Institute is a nonprofit that owns and manages over 2,300 units of affordable housing and 11 tiny home villages throughout western Washington.
Road2Home is a nonprofit founded by Bellingham residents who saw a need for a program to help people experiencing homelessness navigate the complex system of social services.
The two will work together alongside the City to host a tiny house village at the former “Clean Green” site at 1399 Woburn Street.

Despite the challenges of working through a pandemic, river restoration practitioners continued to pursue dam removal projects in 2020 to revitalize local economies and communities and reconnect 624 upstream river miles for fish, wildlife and river health. Sixty-nine dams were removed in 2020 across 23 states, including: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
Together, we can free rivers.

Police in Washington Clear Homeless Camp After Antifa Made Calls for Disruption
Law enforcement in Washington state on Thursday cleared a homeless camp that was dubbed an “occupation,” after the far-left Antifa network called for members to descend on the camp and confront officers.
Bellingham Mayor Seth Fleetwood gave permission to police to clear the camp a day earlier than was previously announced because of information indicating calls to action were made to activists in the Pacific Northwest to try to stop the clearance.
“We took urgent, emergency action this morning outside Bellingham City Hall to protect the safety of all. … We acted today to reduce the risk of further injury, violence, and vandalism by those who are using the plight of our community’s most vulnerable to further their own agenda,” Fleetwood told reporters during a press conference.
