2010 Imagine Auction Welcomed New Friends and Surpassed Financial and Attendance Goals!
It is with great gratitude and joy that St. Andrew’s Housing Group shares the results of the
2010 Imagine Auction. Through the support of nearly 350 generous sponsors and guests,
SAHG raised a total of $235,000, which will go a long way in helping SAHG to achieve its
mission of providing hope and homes on the Eastside.
Additionally, the Imagine audience size increased by 110 guests from 2009 to 2010 and, of the
roughly 350 attendees at the auction, 141 were new to SAHG’s auction! The 2010 Special
Appeal video featured a family from Highland Gardens who is thriving with the support of
SAHG’s Resident Services Program. This video is available for everyone to view by clicking here.
These feats would not have been possible without the tremendous support from SAHG’s 2010
Auction Committee and generous Auction Sponsors!

Andrew’s Glen Breaks Ground!
On April 5, 2010, over 120 friends and project partners gathered at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Bellevue to celebrate the ground breaking of Andrew’s Glen, SAHG’s eleventh housing project. SAHG was joined by King County Executive Dow Constantine, King County Council Member Bob Ferguson and Bellevue Deputy Mayor Conrad Lee, who each spoke to the
merits of including aff ordable housing in our community.
Andrew’s Glen will provide 40 units of affordable supportive housing targeted to homeless veterans and other low income individuals and families. Seventy-five percent of these units will be dedicated to people transitioning from homelessness, while the remaining 12 units will be federally subsidized for low-income households through the project-based Section 8 program. The construction of Andrew’s Glen is set to start in May, with plans to complete the project and welcome residents in the spring of 2011.
