About the company
Whatcom-Skagit Housing, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Ferndale, Washington, is a recipient of federal grants under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420), delivering construction expertise, homebuyer education, financial counseling, and community outreach to enable very low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas to build homes using self-help methods.
The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grants; it holds no contracts and serves only USDA through its rural housing and utilities arms. All nine awards in the source data are project grants under CFDA 10.420, with combined obligated dollars of $9.1 million across activity spanning 2011 to 2026. The three most recent awards total $2.58 million: a $1.002 million project grant from the USDA Rural Utilities Service issued May 11, 2026 (funding through May 11, 2028); a $483.3 thousand project grant from the USDA Single Family Housing Program issued February 10, 2026 (funding through March 2027); and a $1.095 million project grant from the USDA Single Family Housing Program issued February 21, 2024 (completed April 21, 2025). The May 2026 award represents the third consecutive project grant under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program, indicating sustained federal confidence in the organization's execution capacity.
Award frequency is sparse but sustained — one award in 2017, one in 2019, one in 2021, then two in 2024 and two in 2026 — suggesting recent acceleration in USDA funding. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore subject to recompete. Whatcom-Skagit Housing serves rural communities in the Bellingham, Washington region and surrounding areas where conventional housing markets do not meet low-income families' affordability and access needs, focusing specifically on self-help construction models that build household wealth and homeownership capacity through sweat equity.
