PART I

Item 1. Business

Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I (the Partnership) is a limited partnership formed on November 2, 1987 and organized under the laws of the State of Washington.

The Partnership raised $3,511,000 from the sale of 703 units of limited partnership through a public offering completed on April 14, 1989. The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in eleven limited partnerships (Property Partnerships) which developed, own, and operate residential apartment complexes located in small towns across the country. Each apartment complex benefits from several forms of federal assistance programs and qualifies for low-income housing credits (Tax Credits) pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. There are 337 partners in the Partnership.

The Partnership's general partner is Murphey Favre Properties, Inc., (MFP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank (WMB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc.

Table A on page 4 lists the Property Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Item 7 of this Report contains other significant information with respect to such Property Partnerships.

Each Property Partnership has, as its general partner (developer), one or more individuals or an entity not affiliated with the Partnership or MFP. In accordance with the Partnership Agreements under which

such entities are organized, the Partnership depends on the developers for the management of each Property Partnership. As of December 31, 2001, the Property Partnerships and their developers were:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

During the year, the properties' management focused on the continued operation of the eleven housing properties. At December 31, 2001, four properties were 100% occupied, three were in the 90% to 99% occupancy range, and four were in the 80% to 89% range. At year-end 2001, five properties experienced occupancy levels below that at year-end 2000. However, at December 31, 2000, two properties had occupancy levels of 73% and 75% (both of these properties had significantly improved levels of occupancy at the close of 2001). At year-end 2001 the lowest occupancy level was 82%.

Achieving positive cash flow continued to be a problem for some of the properties. Overall cash flows went from a positive $12,163 in 2000 to a negative ($27,895) in 2001. For 2001, seven of the properties recorded cash flow deficits versus five properties in 2000. Cove, Ionia, Rolling Brook II and Wexford Manor achieved positive cash flows in both 2001 and 2000.

Cove, located in Michigan, and Fayette, located in West Virginia, had delinquent real estate taxes due at year-end 2001. On February 14, 2002 Cove paid its delinquent real estate taxes.

During 2000, RHS advanced funds to Washington Street, located in Michigan, to pay delinquent real estate taxes of $42,917. The advance was added to the mortgage note and reamortized in 2001. RHS has provided additional rental assistance to the project, which should improve occupancy and support the increased rents necessary to make the increased mortgage payments.

The Developer General Partner (DGP) of Logan, located in Ohio, did not comply with RHS regulations regarding the handling of project cash during 2001 and 2000. These instances of non-compliance were reported to the appropriate authorities during 2001. During 2001 and 2000, the DGP made multiple unauthorized withdrawals of project cash totaling $9,000 and $15,079, respectively. Further, it was discovered that project bank accounts, totaling $55,517, have been pledged in violation of RHS regulations. As a result of the DGP's actions, RHS issued a Letter of Acceleration on August 29, 2001. RHS suspended further proceedings on October 11, 2001, based on agreements reached with the other general partners and the management agent. MFP and the other general partners of Logan are in the process of removing and replacing the DGP.

The DGP of Logan Apartment Associates declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy subsequent to December 31, 2001.

The properties are located in rural towns with populations of 20,000 or less. Five properties are located in Michigan, three in Washington, and one each in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The properties range in size from 24 to 68 units for a total portfolio of 394 units.

Results of Operations

On a consolidated basis, net income (loss) for 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaled ($518,516), ($457,473) and ($513,222), respectively. Net income before depreciation for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $70,923, $147,091 and $122,277 with depreciation expense of $589,439, $604,564 and $635,499 in each of the same respective years.

Revenue totaled $1,696,592, $1,676,034 and $1,620,305 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

The Partnership paid $27,152, $23,500 and $23,000, in accounting expenses for the Partnership for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest revenue for 2001 decreased 28.1% from 2000, increased 4.2% from 1999 to 2000 and decreased 3.1% from 1998 to 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership completed its public offering of units of limited partnership on April 14, 1989, with proceeds totaling $3,511,000 from 339 limited partners. As of December 31, 2001, the Partnership had invested $2,542,000 of offering proceeds in eleven Property Partnerships.

Offering proceeds equal to $175,750 were reserved by the Partnership to fund its operating expenses. As of December 31, 2001, the cash reserves of the Partnership totaled $25,493. It is expected that the Partnership will draw on the reserves in future years to fund accounting and other operating expenses of the Partnership. Nominal cash distributions from the Property Partnerships will supplement the cash reserves. In 2001, the Partnership received $9,797 in distributions from the Property Partnerships. The expectation is that all cash distributions received from the Property Partnerships will be used to defray the operating expenses of the Partnership and thus it is not likely any distribution will be made to the limited partners.

The Partnership is not required to fund additional amounts to the Property Partnerships based on each Property Partnership agreement. Additionally, each Property Partnership is operated as an individual project, and without any contractual arrangements of any kind between the Property Partnerships. In 2001, ten properties generated positive operating cash flow and one property generated deficit operating cash flow. In 2000, nine properties generated positive operating cash flow and two properties generated deficit operating cash flow. The deficits were funded from rental operating cash and from authorized withdrawals from the reserve accounts.

As of December 31, 2001, one developer general partner had advanced $14,209 to a Property Partnership under the deficit funding agreement in place during the guarantee period. The guarantee periods ended in 1991 and 1992. The developer general partners are no longer obligated to fund operating deficits.

The Property Partnerships financed construction with a combination of bank financing and funds from the Partnership. The permanent loans for the properties were provided by the Farmers Home Administration, now known as Rural Housing Service (RHS), under Section 515 of the National Housing Act of 1949, as amended. RHS provides an interest credit to the Property Partnerships which reduces the interest rates stated in the mortgage notes to an effective 1 percent rate over the lives of the mortgages. All property loans are current.

Capital expenditures on the properties are expected to increase over the initial years' capital expenses due to the natural aging process of the newly constructed (10 properties) or newly rehabilitated (1 property) projects at the time of the formation of the Partnership. As part of RHS loan requirements, a reserve account is funded at an annual rate of 1% of the original property loan balance until the balance equals 10% of the original loan balance. Additions to reserve accounts are funded from property operations and are established for future capital expenditures.

Included in cash on the consolidated balance sheets were $25,493 and $13,148 held as deposits by the Partnership in WMB accounts as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As discussed in Part I, Item 1, WMB is affiliated with MFP.

There are no additional acquisitions nor any dispositions planned.

Regulatory Restrictions

Because the properties are operated under RHS loans and benefit from the federal low-income housing tax credit program, the properties are restricted as to their use and must comply with the requirements of the respective federal programs.

The tenants of all the properties must be tax credit and RHS eligible tenants. It is management's goal to have all units, except for managers' units, occupied by tax credit eligible tenants. In order to meet established income requirements, tenants must not earn more than 60% of the median income for the areas in which the properties are located. Seven of the eleven properties are further restricted to renting apartment units only to senior citizens.

Additionally, the properties cannot be sold without prior approval of the RHS, cannot make more than an 8% cash distribution annually to its owner (as described in Note 6 to the Partnership's financial statements), and must remain under the low-income housing tax credit program for 15 years to avoid any recapture of the low-income housing tax credits. Furthermore, pursuant to RHS loan agreements, RHS may refuse prepayment of the loans and require the properties be used for the purpose of providing housing to eligible tenants for a minimum period of 20 years.

Inflation

Operating expenses and rental revenues of each property are subject to inflationary factors. Low rates of inflation could result in rental revenues remaining constant or increasing at slower rates than in periods of high inflation. High rates of inflation raise the operating expenses of the properties, and to the extent the increased operating expenses are not passed on to the tenants by rental increases, the properties' operation could be adversely affected.

Tax Credit

As of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, tax credits equal to .22%, 5.86% and 13.26%, respectively, of the limited partners' capital contributions have been generated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Partners
Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I
Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ASSISTED HOUSING FUND L.P.I. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I (the Partnership) is a limited partnership which was organized November 2, 1987 under the laws of the state of Washington to acquire limited partnership interests in other partnerships (the Property Partnerships), each of which has been organized to develop or purchase a low- or moderate-income apartment project. The Partnership's general partner is Murphey Favre Properties, Inc. (MFP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank (WMB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. As of December 31, 2001, 337 limited partners held the 703 units of limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in eleven Property Partnerships. The developer of each apartment project serves as the general partner (DGP) of the respective Property Partnership.

The properties owned by the Property Partnerships are located in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, West Virginia and Washington. The apartment projects were financed and constructed under Section 515 of the National Housing Act, as amended (administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Housing Service (RHS)). Under this program, the Property Partnerships provide housing to low- and moderate-income tenants. Lower rental charges to tenants are recovered by the Property Partnerships through an interest reduction program which reduces the effective interest rate over the lives of the mortgages to 1 percent and a rental assistance program whereby RHS pays the Property Partnerships for a portion of qualified tenant rents. Construction of the apartment projects began between June, 1988 and May, 1990 and rental operations began between April, 1989 and February, 1991.

Additionally, in exchange for an allocation of federal low-income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Property Partnership has entered into an agreement with an agency of the state in which the apartment project is located, whereby the Property Partnership has agreed to maintain all apartment units as both rent restricted and occupied by low-income tenants for a minimum period of 15 years.

During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, rental revenue from RHS totaled $508,019, $482,617 and $462,125, representing 30, 29 and 29 percent of total revenue, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the financial statements of the Partnership and the following eleven Property Partnerships in which it has invested as a limited partner:

Fairview Apartments Company Limited Partnership (Fairview)

Ionia Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Ionia)

Logan Apartments Company Limited Partnership (Logan)

Rolling Brook II Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Rolling Brook)

Wexford Manor Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Wexford)

Blue Heron Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Blue Heron)

Glenwood Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Glenwood)

Pacific Place Apartment Associates Limited Partnership (Pacific Place)

Cove Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Cove)

Washington Street Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Washington)

Fayette Hills Limited Partnership (Fayette)

The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis because the Partnership holds approximately 99 percent of the profit and loss interests and approximately 55 percent of the equity interests in each Property Partnership. Through an affiliate, who is a special limited partner in each of the 11 Property Partnerships, the Partnership controls certain fundamental decisions affecting the operation of the Property Partnerships. These fundamental decisions include significant purchases of assets, material borrowings or creation of liens on the underlying properties, entering into material contracts, making tax elections and any act that would cause termination of the Property Partnership. All material interpartnership transactions and balances have been eliminated. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, net losses allocable to the minority partners were $26,226, $25,642, and $26,206, respectively.

Method of Accounting

The accrual method of accounting is used for financial statement purposes.

Cost Overruns

The partnership agreements for the Property Partnerships required the DGP's to fund cost overruns on the development of the apartment projects. Such cost overruns, totaling $589,462, have been recorded as minority interests in property partnerships and have been included in the cost basis of the rental property. All depreciation related thereto has been specially allocated to the respective DGP's.

Depreciation

Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Building shell and components		27.5 years
Land improvements		15 years
Appliances		5-10 years
Carpets and draperies		5-10 years

Income Taxes

No income tax provision has been included in the financial statements since income or loss of the Partnership is required to be reported by the respective partners on their income tax returns.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers all investment instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit

The Property Partnerships maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Property Partnerships have not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Property Partnerships are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash in such bank deposit accounts.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

NOTE 2—TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In connection with the acquisition and development of rental property and the management of both the rental property and the Partnership, the Partnership and Property Partnerships have paid or accrued the following amounts to certain affiliates:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2001		2000		1999
Murphey Favre Properties, Inc.—partnership services fee	$	7,500	$	7,500	$	7,500
Developer general partners and affiliates—property management fees	$	95,718	$	95,609	$	95,594

As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, related party payables consisted of the following:

	2001		2000
Advances from DGP's	$	201,784	$	213,257
Partnership management fees		326,726		326,726
Partnership services fees		52,500		45,000
Advances from general partner		102,999		75,481

	$	684,009	$	660,464

During 2001 and 2000, the general partner advanced $27,518 and $530, respectively, to the Partnership for administrative expenses.

The Partnership maintains deposits in certain of WMB's interest-bearing accounts which aggregated $25,493 and $13,148 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest earned on such deposits totaled $335, $504, and $414 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Terms of the RHS Loan Agreements require each DGP to provide interest-free advances of stipulated amounts as initial operating capital to the Property Partnerships. Due to affiliates includes $152,107 of such advances at December 31, 2001 and 2000. In addition, these balances include DGP advances of $35,468 for land improvements and $14,209 to fund operating deficits.

Advances made to one of the DGP's during 2001 totaled $9,000. During 2000, advances to this same DGP totaled $15,079 (see Note 8). The remainder of the balances include property management fees and reimbursements payable to MFP for partnership services and administration.

Advances from the DGPs may only be repaid from the proceeds of future sales of the respective properties. Property management fees are paid out of rental operations. Partnership fees are payable from future sales of the properties, to the extent they are not paid from distributions of rental operation cash (see Note 6).

Under the terms of management services agreements, seven of the eleven Property Partnerships have affiliates of the DGP's which provide management services for the rental properties and receive compensation for such services in amounts approximating 8.5% of rental receipts. Three of the eleven Property Partnerships are co-managed by affiliates of the DGP's which provide management services

for the rental properties and receive compensation for such services in amounts approximating 2.6% of rental receipts.

NOTE 3—CASH IN RESERVE ACCOUNTS

The Loan Agreements between the Property Partnerships and RHS require the Property Partnerships to deposit $127,196 annually into separate reserve accounts until the accounts reach $1,271,277. Subject to RHS approval, these funds may be used for various purposes, as further described in the Loan Agreements. Nine of the eleven Property Partnerships were in compliance with the minimum annual funding requirements as set forth by RHS for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Reserve withdrawals at all of the Property Partnerships were made in compliance with RHS requirements during 2001. Reserve withdrawals at ten of the eleven Property Partnerships were in compliance with RHS requirements during 2000.

NOTE 4—MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

The mortgage notes are payable to RHS in monthly installments totaling $26,959. In accordance with provisions of Interest Credit Agreements, RHS provides monthly interest credits totaling $69,129 which reduce the interest rates stated in the mortgage notes to effective rates of 1 percent over the lives of the mortgages. Amortization of principal is based on the stated rates of 8.75% to 10.75% under RHS's Predetermined Amortization Schedule System (PASS). The mortgage notes mature May, 2039 through March, 2040. Substantially all of the rental property and equipment is pledged as collateral on the mortgages. No partner is individually liable on the mortgage notes.

The mortgage notes are regulated by the U.S. Government and therefore, have no market price. Accordingly, management has determined that users of the financial statements would derive no benefit from any estimate of fair value and performing such an analysis would not be practicable.

Principal payments on the mortgage notes for the next 5 years are as follows:

Year	Amount
2002	$	38,555
2003		42,173
2004		46,132
2005		50,465
2006		55,205
2007—and later years		12,064,034

	$	12,296,564

NOTE 5—ASSESSMENT PAYABLE

In September, 1995, the city of Bainbridge Island issued an assessment for Blue Heron's share of street and utility improvements in the amount of $68,569. The assessment was payable in 10 equal annual installments together with interest at the rate of 5.6 percent. During 2000, funds were withdrawn from the reserve account and the balance of the assessment was paid in full.

NOTE 6—RENTAL OPERATION CASH

RHS regulations limit the distribution of rental operation cash to a maximum of $38,090 annually. Any distribution to the Partnership from rental operation cash is to be made in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. Whether or not a Property Partnership makes any limited distribution is based on the results of its own operations and is at the discretion of the DGP.

NOTE 7—GUARANTEES

Each of the DGP's has made a guarantee to the respective Property Partnership that they will compensate the Partnership in the event the actual low-income housing tax credit is less than 85% to 90% of the available credit. Through December 31, 2001, no payments have been made under these guarantee agreements.

NOTE 8—CONTINGENCY

The Partnership has ceased accrual of the annual partnership administration fee, payable in part to the general partner. Management has determined that the source of payment, a future sale or refinance of one or more of the Property Partnerships, may not be sufficient to pay fees accrued in excess of the $544,540 payable at December 31, 1996. Management has elected to treat fees for years subsequent to 1996 as a contingent liability. At December 31, 2001 and 2000 the contingent liability for partnership administration fees totaled $372,585 and $298,068, respectively.

The DGP of Logan did not comply with RHS regulations regarding the handling of project cash during 2001 and 2000. These instances of non-compliance were reported to the appropriate authorities during 2001. During 2001 and 2000, the DGP made multiple unauthorized withdrawals of project cash totaling $9,000 and $15,079, respectively. Further, it was discovered that project bank accounts, totaling $55,517, have been pledged in violation of RHS regulations. As a result of the DGP's actions, RHS issued a Letter of Acceleration on August 29, 2001. RHS suspended further proceedings on October 11, 2001, based on agreements reached with the other general partners and the management agent. MFP and the other general partners of Logan are in the process of removing and replacing the DGP.

NOTE 9—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The DGP of Logan Apartment Associates declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy subsequent to December 31, 2001.
