every parent
wants a better future for their child
A principal goal of every parent is to give their children the tools they need to succeed in life. A safe, stable, and permanent place to live is crucial to laying a strong foundation for children to grow, learn, love, and build a better future for themselves and their community.

every door
opens an opportunity
Life is challenging, and often, all a person needs is the right opportunity to set them on the path to a brighter future. By working with families to get them into stable housing, Habitat can provide that opportunity, and best of all, the effects ripple out to benefit so many others.

every door
opens an opportunity
Every door opens an opportunity for familiies to have housing affordability and stability. Habitat Clallam set families up for success. I am a mortgage lender and I see firsthand how hard it is for low to moderate income families to qualify for a home. Habitat opens those doors.

every door
opens an opportunity
As a young family, we faced a great need for food, support, and a helping hand. Through the generosity of family, friends—and even strangers—we were able to stay afloat. That experience fueled my passion and deep understanding of the challenges many families face today. I’m honored to offer my support and help others in similar circumstances.

everyone
deserves a decent place to live
Home is a key element in uniting the family and providing the stability necessary for a person to grow into a well-adjusted, balanced adult. Strengthening families is essential to creating a better, happier, and safer society, and a stable home plays a crucial role in making that possible.

every child
deserves to live in stability
I have personally witnessed how a stable address impacts a child’s life. From their mental well-being to their physical involvement in the world around them. This includes not only sports, but also volunteering and greater engagement in family events.

Years ago, one of my closest friends built a Habitat home and it made such a positive impact on her family’s life in so many ways. This is why I believe Habitat Clallam is so important to our communities.

everyone
deserves a decent place to live
Owning a home builds generational wealth, reducing financial insecurity while providing low-income families stability and a safety net for future generations. Children of homeowners often thrive in school due to consistent attendance, dedicated study spaces, and reduced stress at home.

In rural communities, that basic right is often out of reach. Habitat builds more than homes; it builds opportunity, dignity, and hope. Through partnership and volunteerism, Habitat creates affordable housing solutions that allow families to put down roots and thrive.

Habitat provides a hand-up to working families. By building alongside Habitat staff and volunteers, homeowners invest their time and efforts to help their families thrive. Creating workforce housing is just one of the many ways Habitat Clallam builds a stronger community, one brick at a time.
