About Housing Connector

Housing Connector is a tech-for-good nonprofit expanding access to housing and helping people remain housed.

Our model brings together property partners, community organizations, government, philanthropy, and technology to create simpler, more scalable pathways to housing. What started in Seattle in 2019 has grown into a multi-market organization with an ambitious vision: to deliver simple and scalable solutions until every person has a home.
