Develops and manages a continuum of housing opportunities and supports services for low-income, homeless, refugee and special needs individuals and families in western Washington.
Archdiocesan Housing Authority’s recent grantmaking is organized around housing operations and supportive services for low-income, homeless, refugee, and special needs individuals and families in western Washington. The largest recent award on file was $3,839,116 in 2024 to Catholic Community Services Western Washington for operations, following a $2,977,972 operations grant in 2023 to Catholic Community Services of Western Washington. That pattern points to a funder that supports the ongoing operation of housing-related services, not just one-time development costs. The grant record also includes sizable support for project-specific housing entities such as Westlake II LLC, Westlake II Housing LLC, Aurora Housing Development LLC, and Cornwall Housing LLC, all in Seattle. Those awards sit alongside the foundation’s broader role in developing and managing a continuum of housing opportunities across East King County and western Washington. In practice, the funding profile combines direct operating support with capital-oriented housing funding and project support for nonprofit and developer partners. The latest 990 year on file is 2024, and annual grants given are $7,735,548.
Housing operations and services are a clear part of the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $3,839,116 to Catholic Community Services Western Washington for operations, and in 2023 it awarded $2,977,972 to Catholic Community Services of Western Washington for the same purpose. Project-level housing support is also visible in the recent grants list. The foundation gave $439,788 in 2024 to Westlake II LLC for operations, and $106,529 in 2024 to Aurora Housing Development LLC for operations. Its housing portfolio extends to additional Seattle-based housing entities as well. A 2023 grant of $182,887 went to Westlake II Housing LLC, and a 2024 grant of $90,006 went to Cornwall Housing LLC, both for operations.
The typical grant size is $102,890 at the 25th percentile, $182,887 at the median, and $1,708,880 at the 75th percentile, showing a wide spread between smaller operating awards and larger housing commitments. Recent grants show repeat support to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, including Catholic Community Services of Western Washington and Aurora Housing Development LLC. The foundation makes program-related investments and funds individuals is false. The active program descriptions show both unsolicited application pathways and ARCH-administered funding rounds, including Housing Trust Fund and city-specific programs.

Grantmaking is entirely in Washington, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. Seattle is the main recipient city in the recent grants list, including Catholic Community Services Western Washington, Westlake II LLC, Westlake II Housing LLC, Aurora Housing Development LLC, and Cornwall Housing LLC. The broader geographic scope of giving is local, with East King County and ARCH member cities appearing in the active program descriptions.
Its stated focus areas include affordable housing development, homeless shelters and services, transitional and permanent supportive housing, and refugee services. The recent grant record also shows operations support for housing and service providers, including a $3,839,116 award to Catholic Community Services Western Washington in 2024.
The typical grant size is $102,890 at the 25th percentile, $182,887 at the median, and $1,708,880 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list also includes much larger awards, such as $3,839,116 in 2024 and $2,977,972 in 2023.
No. The recipient country distribution shows 7 grants in the US, and 100% of grants went to recipients in Washington, the HQ state.
Yes, for several active programs. The ARCH Housing Trust Fund, the Issaquah Inclusive Housing Investment Pool through the ARCH application, the Bellevue Housing Stability Program through ARCH RFP process, ARCH Local Incentives & Other Funding Options, ARCH Development Programs, and the ARCH Rental Program all list unsolicited access or public-facing program pathways.
Yes. Catholic Community Services appears in both 2023 and 2024 with operations grants, and Aurora Housing Development LLC appears in both 2023 and 2024 as well. That suggests the foundation makes follow-on support to some recipients rather than only one-time awards.
