Something Real

The HUB is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to end the IDD housing crisis in Whatcom County — one vibrant, beautiful, inclusive home at a time.

Why Your Gift Matters

You're Not Just Donating.
You're Building a Home.

The HUB is a vibrant, fully wheelchair-accessible residential community in Whatcom County that reimagines disability housing — replacing social isolation with deep local connection.

Designed for both independence and belonging, The HUB pairs private bedrooms and bathrooms with lively shared areas like a game room, spa, and communal dining featuring chef-inspired meals. Residents receive tailored wellness support — including 24/7 protective oversight and an on-staff RN — while retaining the freedom to choose their own paths, hobbies, and lifestyles.

Backed by dedicated community transit, residents actively work, volunteer, and play locally, ensuring they are never just living alongside society — but genuinely embraced, valued, and integrated as neighbors.
