The Plan

Affordable Housing

  •  In November of 2017, THINC Whidbey purchased a 1/3-acre lot with an existing house.

               In December 0f 2017 we were gifted the adjoining 60 Ft lot.


  • The existing house is an affordable-living rental on the top floor.


  • The lower floor will be used as an office, meeting space, and the community center.


  • 9 tiny homes will be built on the remaining  property.


  • Each house is 264 square-feet.


  • The cost of building each house is approximately $22,000. 


  • Each tiny home will contain a kitchen/ LR combination, bathroom, and bedroom.


  • Individuals, businesses, organizations and churches are invited to donate a house, and the house can be named after the donor.


  • The units will be rented on a sliding scale.


  • Referrals will come from Island County Housing Support Center and other local help agencies. 


  • Tenants are required to get a background check, be employed on 

        South Whidbey, have 3 local references and proof of low income status.


  • Social gatherings and monthly meetings will foster a sense of community. 


  • Lease agreements will be re-evaluated at the end of each year to ensure qualifications are still met. 


  • Income from the property will be used to pay utilities, taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses.
