Like many communities, finding property that is both affordable and capable of being developed for multi-family housing is difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coupeville UMC Board of Trustees and Habitat CEO Orin Kolaitis began conversations last year about the best way to partner to help serve their community. Eve Parrish, the church\u2019s Administrative Council Chair, said, \u201cWe surveyed our unused assets as part of good stewardship and realized our empty lots across the street might provide an opportunity to support affordable housing in light of the present critical need in the county and in Coupeville.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"453\" data-attachment-id=\"24048\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/news\/coupeville-umc-and-habitat-for-humanity-partner-to-provide-affordable-housing\/coupevilleumc-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?fit=604%2C453&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"604,453\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CoupevilleUMC-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The vacant land Coupeville UMC offered to Habitat, with the assurance it will be the site of permanently affordable housing here.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?fit=604%2C453&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?resize=604%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24048\" style=\"width:394px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?w=604&amp;ssl=1 604w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CoupevilleUMC-2.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The vacant land Coupeville UMC offered to Habitat, with the assurance it will be the site of permanently affordable housing here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The two parcels of land were originally purchased many years ago with the possibility of \u201cfuture housing\u201d for seniors in mind.

The town planner helped Coupeville UMC gain the re-zoning, which was formally approved by the Coupeville Town Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although an agreement has been reached, as with any development, a lot of preliminary work still needs to be done before construction can begin.
