Executive Committee
The Executive Committee for Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County acts on behalf of the full Board between regular meetings to keep the organization’s work moving smoothly. This group, typically the Board officers, helps guide high-level decision making, supports the Executive Director, and addresses time-sensitive matters that cannot wait for a full Board vote. They ensure strong governance, monitor organizational health, and prepare key issues for Board discussion so the full Board can focus on strategic direction and mission impact.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
