Whatcom county Flood Housing Project
Whatcom County was hit hard with flooding the week of November 15th, 2021. Many community members are coming together to help provide for the individuals who have lost so much due to the floods. This project was created in the effort to help organize those who need and are offering housing. This project is in cooperation with local shelters, churches and community members all working together to compile lists and placements.
Please share with the hopes that we can help those in need. Any additional housing needs/information can be shared here.
