OUR HISTORY
In October of 1967, Rev. John H. Adams, pastor of First A.M.E. Church of Seattle, gathered several dedicated church members to form a housing corporation. At this organizing meeting, Rev. Adams stated that several H.U.D. Insured rehabilitation projects were planned for the area and were to be owned and sponsored by non-profit groups. He encouraged the group to go after these opportunities stating that "we should organize quickly to take advantage of these opportunities when they arise."
In June of 1969, the First A.M.E. Housing Church Corporation (First A.M.E. Housing Association) was formed to take advantage of the new opportunities to own and sponsor projects. The original incorporators were members of the First A.M.E. Church of Seattle.
