Our Current Projects
Telegraph Townhomes
The Telegraph Townhomes Project is a permanently affordable, low-income housing solution. This groundbreaking project will consist of 52 – 80 homes to be sold to Whatcom County residents earning 30% – 80% of the area median income. The land will be held in the land-trust, further reducing the cost of these energy-efficient homes to the homebuyers and maintaining the homes’ affordability. Currently, 12 units have been completed and sold, with four more now in construction. Click here to take a virtual tour of one of the units, generously put together by Laura Rex, at Stitched 360 Imaging.
Governor Inslee on the Energy Efficiency of Our Homes:
“The answer to defeating climate change is as much in this Telegraph unit, as it in any wind turbine generating, or solar panel generating facility. It is energy efficiency. And I’m excited that they can say that this is a Habitat for Humanity Passive House.”

Our Telegraph Townhome Community Partners:
Thanks to the Kulshan Community Land Trust and the Whatcom Community Foundation we’re able to undertake an incredibly ambitious project on Telegraph Rd. The Telegraph Townhomes Project will bring over 50 permanently affordable homes to Whatcom County.
Mateo Meadows
Habitat for Humanity in Whatcom County is currently constructing Mateo Meadows, a mixed-use, mixed-income, permanently-affordable commercial and housing development on Lincoln Street, near downtown Everson. This project will include 30 townhomes — two, three and four bedrooms — 16 apartments and 7,000 sq/ft of commercial space, and will cover the 30 to 120% AMI range.
Why Mateo Meadows? Terry Mattson earned the nickname of Mateo during his time serving communities in Central America. He served as the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity in Whatcom County and did so much to build up our affiliate. Naming our Everson project after him is a small way to show thanks to someone who laid a strong foundation, and made this project possible for our organization.
Single Family Home in Custer
As of March 2025, construction has begun on a single-family home in Custer for a homebuyer who has been in our program since 2022.
This home will be a sustainably built, net zero ready, and ADA-friendly.
