About Us
San Juan Community Home Trust creates permanently
affordable housing for low-to-moderate income residents
of San Juan Island. Recognizing the affordable housing
crisis on San Juan County (where property values are
among the highest in the State and jobs are often
seasonal and tourist related) SJCHT formed in 2001.
Since then SJCHT has created 29 homes in two
neighborhoods. In 2009 we secured ownership of 15-acres
of property that was then zoned for Multi-family
development. This will eventually accommodate another 106homes. SJCHT is now beginning a new phase of
construction, which will create a "pocket neighborhood"
of 12 homes. For this group of homes we've decided to use"recycled" houses. These are small bungalows built in theearly 1900's in Victoria B.C. These homes will be broughtby barge to San Juan Island and delivered to the site,
beginning on August 19th, 2015; where they will be
refurbished as needed. Using these repurposed homes will not only allow us to use homes with fine craftsmanship and character, but to save these resources from demolition and the landfill.
