The Low Income Housing Institute is gearing up for our Annual Benefit Auction & Banquet. This years event will be held November 3rd, 2017 and again will be at the Four Seasons Seattle downtown.
We are looking for auction day volunteers that would like to help out with set up, registration, live auction runners, take down, etc.
There will be a volunteer lounge set up for food, drinks, etc. However, not every volunteer is guaranteed a free seat at the event...only what is open will be filled with volunteers.
This event grows every year. In 2016 we raised over $400,000 and welcomed over 325 guests to the Four Seasons! Join us this year and be part of its' success!!!

Mission Statement
The Low Income Housing Institute develops, owns and operates housing for the benefit of low-income, homeless and formerly homeless people in Washington state; advocates for just housing policies at the local and national levels; and administers a range of supportive service programs to assist those we serve in maintaining stable housing and increasing their self-sufficiency.
Description
LIHI develops and provides affordable housing to 4,000+ low income, homeless and formerly homeless people, including families. In 2019, an estimated 11,199 people experienced homelessness in King County alone. Many of LIHI housing projects focus on transitioning families and individuals out of homelessness, including chronically homeless populations. Most of the units developed by LIHI are occupied by formerly homeless households.
LIHI assists our residents with services that help them maintain stable housing and prevent them from becoming homeless again (e.g. through improving resident income and/or education status, dealing with long standing mental and physical health conditions) and increase self-sufficiency.
We also help homeless individuals and families remain healthy & employed: LIHI operates the Urban Rest Stop - an innovative hygiene center for the homeless located in downtown Seattle; a safe, clean and dignified place where as many as 500 homeless individuals, families, elders and youth access restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities each day. This center is open seven days a week, with extended hours specifically designed to assist homeless persons who are working or seeking employment. 60% of URS patrons have steady employment, but can't earn enough income to afford the rent.
