Achievement Report 2011
Imagine a community where everyone
has a safe and stable place to live.
Just imagine… Imagine Housing.
Dear Supporters and Friends,
We measure an organization’s strength by the vision that drives it, the
people who lead it, the successes that define it, the plan that sustains
it and the community that supports it. In 2011, by all these measures,
Imagine Housing was a very strong organization.
Current Board
of Directors
Judy Gowdy, President
Linda Bergam, Vice President
Our top-rate and collaborative staff, Board members and volunteers
worked tirelessly to advance our mission. Likewise, our loyal donors,
corporate sponsors and business partners embraced our mission
and furthered achievement of our goals. In 2011, these exceptional
partnerships enabled us to add four new staff members to support
formerly homeless veterans and other people moving into our two
newest communities, Andrew’s Glen and Francis Village.
Jason Anderson, Treasurer
All of us who work for and support
Imagine Housing are driven by a
shared vision for the organization.
We are inspired to create high
quality, sustainable affordable
housing with on-site supportive
services uniquely tailored to
residents’ needs. We believe that
this foundation of stable housing
and wrap-around services will ensure
residents’ long-term success and
prosperity. We also are committed
to using innovative practices to
ensure that each community is well
managed, properly maintained
and expertly preserved so that our
properties serve not only as homes for our residents, but as long-term
good neighbors to everyone around them.
Steve Dennis
As you’ll see in this report, we have made great strides in realizing our
shared vision over the past year. Every month brings more progress.
From opening 100 new affordable apartments to completing several
major capital improvements to helping to change the lives of hundreds
of residents, Imagine Housing is indeed a strong, reliable, forwardthinking organization.
Thank you for investing in our work. Your continued confidence and
support will make our vision a reality.

Pathways to Home
Home is more than just a roof
overhead. It’s where we find
security, comfort and support.
When an Imagine Housing resident
gets the apartment key, that is just
the first step on the pathway to
home. Through case management,
adult trainings, after-school
homework clubs and summer
camps for kids, our communities
become more than just a house;
they truly become home.
The Pro b l e m: More than 1,500
homeless individuals and families live in
East King County without adequate
housing options available for them.
Imag i n e H o us i ng’s
So lut i o n : We opened 75 new
affordable apartments specifically for
homeless individuals and families in 2011,
bringing to 97 the number of our apartments
serving people coming from homelessness.
NOTE: Most photos in this report are of models,
not actual program participants.

Andrew’s Glen
and Francis Village
There is nothing more exciting than
welcoming residents into safe, beautiful
and affordable new homes. On the
Eastside, where more than 1,500
homeless individuals and thousands of
others simply cannot afford the cost
of rental housing or home ownership,
every new affordable home makes a
difference. In 2011 Imagine Housing
made significant progress in addressing
the need by welcoming 100 families
into new homes at Andrew’s Glen and
Francis Village.
Andrew’s Glen was completed $782,000 under budget
and permanent debt was completely eliminated. In fact,
$419,200 was returned to public funders.
Four years in the making, Andrew’s
Glen now offers 40 apartments for
formerly homeless veterans as well as
other formerly homeless and low-income residents. With
individualized support for residents, monthly community
meals, a computer lab and free trainings available on
site, Andrew’s Glen has become a supportive and lively
community.
Francis Village boasts 60 apartments and abundant
spaces that include rooms for community gatherings, arts
and crafts, a computer lab, movies and media, exercise
and pre-school activities. These spaces allow services to
be naturally integrated into the fabric of the community,
which has dedicated three-quarters of its apartments to
veterans, young adults, survivors of domestic violence
and other people transitioning from homelessness.
Thank you to Andrew’s Glen
and Francis Village Partners
We applaud our lead General Contractors for Andrew’s Glen and Francis
Village for helping to deliver both projects significantly under budget
and ahead of schedule.
Andrew’s Glen
Francis Village
Th e Pro ble m: The average rent for a two-
bedroom apartment in Kirkland is $1,541 (vs. $1,108
in all of King County). For a single parent to afford
this rent, they would need to earn $29.63 an hour,
or $61,630 a year. That is more than three times the
Washington State minimum wage.
Imag ine Ho u sing ’s S o lu t io n: In 2011,
the average rent paid by Imagine Housing’s residents was
only $504 a month.

Capital
Improvements
David’s story
In 2011, Imagine Housing completed several major property
improvement projects. Guided by our comprehensive
Capital Needs Assessment, these projects are part of our
organization’s efforts to ensure that all of our existing
residences can remain beautiful and affordable for decades
to come. Major improvements for the year included:
Nothing about David suggests
he was ever a man in need of help.
• Andrew’s Arms, Downtown Issaquah,
14 units: Exterior repainting; tree
trimming and removal; landscape
improvements; and roof replacement.
• Andrew’s Heights, Factoria-Bellevue,
24 units: Post tension podium repairs and
drainage installation; rehabilitation of three
units plus the office/laundry room; and
replacement of roof, windows and siding.
• Highland Gardens, Klahanie-Issaquah,
50 units: Siding and deck repairs and
landscaping improvements.
• Kirkland Plaza, Downtown Kirkland,
24 units for seniors: Replacement of roof
and siding and installation of new energy
efficient windows.
• Johnson Hill, Issaquah, 38 units:
Landscaping improvements.
• Rose Crest, Talus-Issaquah, 50 units: Drainage
repairs and landscaping improvements.
Tall and fit at age 84, David delivers an iron handshake. A former
U.S. Marine who served in the Korean Conflict and World War
II, he also spent 50 years as a successful entrepreneur whose latest
venture is launching a web-based,
small-business incubator. And in
his “spare” time, he raced cars for
40 years, was a tournament poker
player and penned two books on
business and economics. Now he’s
writing his autobiography.
No, this is a man whose
pacemaker seems an afterthought,
a man who believes “every failure
is a starting point, an opportunity
to do something different and
better” — a man who’s always
made his own way.
Yet since returning recently from
a four-year stint volunteering
through AmeriCorps, including
helping in the wake of Hurricane
Katrina, David found himself
“couch surfing” at the homes of friends and acquaintances.
His search for a more permanent home took him to the Veterans
Administration, which connected him a few months ago with
Imagine Housing’s Andrew’s Glen community.
“Things are 150 percent better since I’ve gotten here. The staff are
so nice to me and other folks in my situation,” David says.
He also appreciates the intensive help of Imagine Housing’s case
managers, who’ve been able to connect him with the array of the
social and health services he needs.
Kirkland Plaza
“I couldn’t be happier than I am right here at
Andrew’s Glen. It’s not only been a comfort to
me, it’s allowed me to think freely about other
stuff, and that’s good, because every time I
can do that, I might be able to open another
door,” he explains. “And I love to open doors.”

Mattsye’s and
David’s story
A year ago, it seemed that life couldn’t get any
worse for David, a former electrician and U.S. Army
veteran, and his partner, Mattsye. But that was before
they found Imagine Housing.
Mattsye had just lost her job of three years, and David, who had long suffered from back
problems, hadn’t been able to work since 2008. They were living in Pierce County at a
friend’s house when they became victims of a home-invasion robbery, and David and
Mattsye barely escaped with their lives.
They started living in their car, and
Mattsye had panic attacks, not
knowing where they would be able
to park safely and sleep from night
to night. She often cried herself to
sleep because she was so scared.
No matter where they looked, no
one could help. Finally, in March,
their contact at the Veterans
Administration connected them to
Imagine Housing. Soon, they were
living in their very own apartment
at Andrew’s Glen.
“You would not believe how uplifting
and moralizing it is to be able to
cook a meal in your own home,”
David explains. “And the case
managers are great — they know
where all the resources are and
helped us find what we needed.”
But Imagine Housing gave more
than a home — it gave them hope.
“I cannot praise Imagine Housing enough,” Mattsye agrees.
“When we came here we had absolutely nothing but the
clothes on our backs. But they gave us hope again.”
Mattsye now has a good job with benefits at Home Depot. And an evaluation at the VA
hospital revealed that David actually had broken his back in 2002. Their Imagine Housing
case manager set the wheels in motion for David to begin receiving proper disability
compensation, and he’s planning to return to school.
“To anyone considering donating to Imagine Housing — please keep reaching out so they
can continue to offer the services here and get the word out to others like us,” Mattsye says.
“Imagine Housing was truly our last resort.”

Imagine Housi n g
Th e Pro ble m: According to
a 2009 study conducted by Child
Trends, youth raised in homes with
limited incomes are more likely
to drop out of school, develop
behavioral and social problems and
experience low self-confidence.
Tiffany’s story
Tiffany’s life today sounds
like a dream come true.
She recently earned her bachelor’s degree
in nursing and is working toward a
master’s degree in international care and
community development. She’s thrilled
about an upcoming three-week internship
at a girls’ nursing school in Kenya, and she’s
considering applying for a Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation grant to further her
education and interests in international care
and public health.
To top it off, she has two beautiful young
children and lives in a lovely, secure, vibrant
and affordable neighborhood in Issaquah.
Yet, as little as five years ago, that dream life
didn’t even seem like a possibility.
Tiffany had a toddler and an infant, had
recently separated from her husband and was
working up to 60 hours a week as a nursing
assistant. And when the winter of 2006
brought with it a five-day power outage, her
Kirkland apartment flooded and she and the
children were left homeless.
“I thought my dreams were dead,” Tiffany
says matter-of-factly. “I had given up on
things. I thought all there was for me was to
raise my children and work these crazy hours
until they were grown, just barely getting by.”
But everything changed when she was accepted into Imagine Housing’s Rose Crest
community.
Imag i n e H o u s i n g’s
So lut i o n : We offer nearly
1,000 hours of free after-school
homework assistance and enrichment
programs for school-age children
living in our properties. Over the
past three years, more than three out
of four participating youth showed
improvements in their homework
and study skills; nearly six out of 10
improved their abilities to get along
with adults and peers; and three out
of five exhibited improvements in
positive behaviors, leadership skills
and self-confidence.
“Living in this beautiful community, on a bus line, with fresh-produce grocery stores
nearby, close to three community colleges — everything that someone needs is here,”
she says. “It’s restored my dignity and restored my family’s dignity.”
Tiffany hopes that people in need will seek out the opportunities that Imagine Housing
provides, and she passes the word along to others every chance she gets.
“Imagine Housing makes all the difference. It’s a foundation,”
she says. “Having affordable housing was the catalyst that
helped me get rooted and even start to think about going back
to school. I’ve been on my own since I was 18, and this is the
first place I’ve lived that’s felt like home.”

*In 2011, Imagine Housing
received $3,749,208 in
one-time capital grants and
contributions. $2,962,129
came through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) Tax Credit Exchange
Program and $480,000 came
through a capital grant from
the Veterans Administration
to fund construction of
Andrew’s Glen. An additional
$261,000 was granted from the
Washington State Department
of Commerce Housing Trust
Fund to fund specific capital
repairs at Andrew’s Heights
and Andrew’s Arms. The depth
of our 2010 comprehensive
capital needs assessment put us
in a strategically strong position
to pursue this capital funding
opportunity. Finally, $45,000
came through the Employees
Community Fund of Boeing
specifically to purchase furniture
for the 20 veterans units at
Andrew’s Glen.
Toward the Future
Almost before the first residents of Andrew’s Glen
and Francis Village unpacked their first boxes,
Imagine Housing already was focusing on three new
projects that will break ground in the coming years.
South Kirkland Park and Ride: With the support of our donors,
corporate partners and community, Imagine Housing will build
58 permanent affordable rental apartment homes as part of a larger
transit-oriented redevelopment project within the South Kirkland
Park and Ride. The overall project will boast a new transit center,
approximately 500-stall parking garage, 181-unit market-rate
apartment building with 6,000 – 8,000 square feet of retail space,
and Imagine Housing’s affordable housing community. Our new
building will break ground in 2013 and will open to residents in late
2014.
Totem Lake II: Imagine Housing has purchased the land directly
next door to Francis Village and soon will develop 76 affordable
apartments for low-income seniors. This long-anticipated project,
which is expected to break ground in 2015, will help address the
region’s growing need for housing options for seniors.
Snoqualmie Ridge: We are planning a 160-apartment complex in
Snoqualmie Ridge for working individuals and families that would
include a community center and recreational areas. Set to break
ground in late 2013, this project will begin welcoming residents in
phases starting in 2015.

Preserving Our Legacy.
Supporting Residents Today.
Building for Tomorrow.
Imagine Housing soon will launch a campaign to build
and preserve affordable housing with integrated
supportive services in East King County. These funds
will support Imagine Housing’s efforts to:
• GROW housing opportunities by adding 575 new affordable homes.
• SUSTAIN housing by reinvesting in our 12 current properties
to preserve our existing 427 apartment homes for years to come.
• Transform residents’ lives by expanding supportive services to help
more than 2,350 residents.
As the the only nonprofit organization on the Eastside dedicated to providing
homes for the very lowest income families in our community, Imagine Housing
is boldly leading the Campaign for Building Eastside Communities. With your
support, the campaign will allow us to make even greater progress toward our
vision of building homes and hope and strengthening Eastside communities.
To learn more about how you can become involved, please contact Jeni Craswell,

permanent affordable rental housing and
providing supportive services.
Ou r Visio n: Regardless of income,
individuals and families in East King County
have stable housing and strong support in
diverse communities that empower success
and foster a high quality of life.
