TRANSCRIPT
Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your dedication to providing safe, healthy,
affordable homes for those in need in our community.
In 2016, your support made it possible to answer the need
for affordable housing. We broke ground on our newest
property, Athene, which will open in November of this
year with 91 affordable homes for low-income seniors.
We also welcomed Villette Nolon as our Executive
Director. She has already leveraged her years of
experience managing companies in the private sector
to guide Imagine Housing’s strategic direction. Under
her leadership, we are poised to take on the immense
challenge of responding to the housing crisis and
achieving the scale to do so sustainably.
We know there is still a great amount of work to be done
to build the affordable housing our community needs. We
also know, with your support, we can make a difference
for our neighbors and provide a place to call home and a
fresh start on their lives.
With heartfelt thanks,
Jeff Churchill Board President
After three years on the board, I am very excited to be part
of the team developing a fresh start at Imagine Housing!
Let me share our plans with you.
First, we mark our 30 year anniversary by preparing for
growth and sustainability for the next 30 years. We are
putting new systems in place, creating new partnerships
with other service providers and developing new
communities that meet the current and future needs of
our residents.
Second, we have created a vision for the future that will
ultimately bring up to 500 new affordable homes to our
Eastside cities over the next 5 years. To signal that change,
we have developed a fresh new look to our brand.
Finally, and most importantly, we will broaden the base
of support for our residents. With your help we are able
to provide a fresh start for families, seniors and people
exiting homelessness. By providing a safe and stable home,
we offer people of all incomes the opportunity to live and
thrive on the Eastside. Join us in spreading the word about
this very important mission!
With gratitude for all you do,
Villette Nolon Executive Director

“Now that I’m housed, things have only gotten better. I feel more stable and I feel like I’m making progress with my mental health at the VA, which gives me a chance to better my quality of life”.
What Michell loves most about living in Velocity is
being able to go home every day. But there’s a lot she
loves: “There’s a really good set of people, really good staff,
it’s just nice to be here. I feel like a part of the community
here—that’s a big deal. In other places I’ve lived, they
don’t come together. Velocity offers the community
dinners, and that’s important because we are a
community, it’s about all of us.”
FriendsAllison, Nanda, and Michell met over a community meal
at Velocity and they have been practically inseparable ever
since. The three started cooking meals together, (“because
it’s hard to cook for one person!”) and now have dinner
together 2 or 3 nights a week.
They also hike, walk, camp, and explore together. They
watch each other’s companion animals when one is away,
and they host monthly BBQs on the rooftop. They take
advantage of $5 movie nights, and they even give back
by helping out at community meals. They support each
other when any of them is having a rough day. “It’s nice to
have friends that you have a lot in common with. And you
don’t have to go too far to see them, either!”
Their stories all follow a similar path: each had a good
job and a bright future, but somewhere along the way,
something unexpected and traumatic happened that
derailed their plans. They all eventually found their way
to the 3rd floor of Velocity.
Thanks to you we are able to provide supportive services that help our residents find stability and self-sufficiency.

Building for the Future Athene
We are excited to announce the much anticipated opening of
our 14th property, Athene. Construction on Athene will be
completed in December, 2017, and applications are now being
accepted. Athene is a 91-unit community in Kirkland that
will provide homes for up to 155 low-income seniors. At least
20 of those units will be set aside for seniors who are currently
homeless. The design of the apartments features many
amenities to provide a safe living environment for seniors
and services that include an on-site resident support staff,
community spaces, and easy access to community amenities
30Bellevue
We will be breaking ground in December, 2017 on
30Bellevue, which features 63 new apartment homes on
the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church Campus in the Northtowne
neighborhood of Bellevue. The property will include studio,
one, two, and three bedroom units for very low income
families and individuals. Thirteen apartments will be set
aside for homeless households and 13 will be set aside for
those with a disability. The 30Bellevue community vision is
the result of a collaborative partnership between St. Luke’s
Church and Imagine Housing.
Our Future Goals
Imagine Housing builds affordable apartments and offers
a fresh start to individuals who might not otherwise have
access to a safe place to lay their head each night. The
affordable housing crisis continues to grow and we must be
a leader in finding solutions to the increased need in East
King County. Our goal is to expand our development plans
to provide over 500 affordable homes over the next five years.
Your investment in affordable housing has made this possible
and we look forward to partnering with you in the future. If
you are interested in taking a role to help us achieve this bold
goal, please join us.

LovingLife Marcel is “loving life these days.” He is a resident at
Imagine Housing’s Francis Village and is thankful to have
a place to call his own. He enjoys spending time with
his neighbors, going to community events, and hanging
out with his service dog, Duke. Marcel left New York
for Washington in 1992 at the age of 29, to establish a
relationship with his father. He has had the opportunity to
enjoy everything that the state has to offer, including water
skiing and horseback riding.
Marcel worked as a commercial driver most of his life, but
an addiction eventually caused him to lose his livelihood
and end up homeless. He started out couch surfing and
wound up living on the streets. He would look for places
to hang out during the day and worked hard to not look
homeless so that he could be inside. A nearly fatal bicycle
accident left him with a head injury and he had to relearn
how to do even basic tasks. He is still working on getting
better, but, thanks to the program at Congregations for
the Homeless, he was able to get back on track. Three
years ago he came to Francis Village, and he feels stable for
the first time in many years.
Today, Marcel is grateful to have this fresh start and feels
blessed to live in an apartment he can afford and to have a
place to rest his head every day.
“I don’t want to be outside again – I like turning lights on, turning lights off, and taking a bath…just little things that people don’t realize. It feels good putting the key in the door and locking the door when I leave.” He appreciates the staff who help him and thanks God
every day for Francis Village. He hopes to someday drive
again and is proud to have retained his commercial
license. But for now, he feels good about himself and
where he is and he works to inspire others and to teach
them to take one day at a time.
