Everyone who gets sleepy at night should have a simple decent place to lay their heads, on terms they can afford to pay.

—Habitat Founder, Millard Fuller

Hello, Neighbors!

Home Belongs Here And So Do You


Our local workforce—the teachers who guide our kids, the first responders who protect us, and the tradespeople who keep our towns moving—can’t always afford to live in the very communities they serve.


On Monday, October 6, join us for a hot breakfast, good company, and an inside look at what’s ahead for Habitat Clallam. Together, we’ll celebrate the progress we’ve made and rally around the big work that's coming soon.


Your seat at this event is more than a ticket; it’s a way to help make sure the people we count on every day can continue to live, work, and belong right here in our community.


Together, we can build what matters most: stability for our neighbors.

Congratulations, Alberto, Kelli & Troy, and Julie!

Alberto, BEFORE

Alberto, AFTER

How a flyer changed the lives of 3 families.


Over twenty years ago, the families of Alberto, Kelli and Troy, and Julie were each struggling to find safe, stable housing, with most of their income going toward rent. Then, a simple Habitat flyer on our New Build Program changed everything.


Each family applied, put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity, and built not only their own homes but also helped build homes for others. Today, all three families have fully paid off their mortgages, a milestone that represents years of hard work and the creation of generational stability for their children, who grew up in these homes and went on to thrive.


We’re honored to celebrate their journeys and invite you to see how you can be part of helping families write their own success stories.


Congratulations, Families!

Your Support, Your Way


Wondering What's the Best Way for You to Make A Difference?


Each donation tells a story: Carole, a senior and veteran, was able to stay safe at home thanks to a much-needed replacement of her rotted front porch.


Nicole, a single mom, moved her son out of a mold-ridden rental and into a safe, healthy Habitat home.


Every donation—large or small—helps families right here in Clallam County find the stability that starts with a home.


Together, we're building (and preserving) what matters most.
