GoFundMe: Putting Down Roots- Immigrant Housing Support

41619542_157166217670599_r.jpeg

Members of our immigrant community are significantly impacted by the current housing crisis.  As revealed in a recent University of Washington report on apartment availability, the housing market in Skagit and Whatcom counties tied for the worst in the state.  Already marginalized due to several socio-economic factors, the immigrant families supported by IRIS are facing increasingly desperate situations.   One of the primary ways that IRIS supports families is by paying rental deposits and providing rental subsidies.  Urgent support is needed as we head into winter.  With this in mind, we are excited to announce the launch of our GoFundMe campaign designed specifically to address this crisis. 100% of all money raised will go to the housing needs of our families.
