“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

— William Arthur Ward

Hello Neighbors!

Honoring Veterans and Our Supportive Community


Today, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have worked together to make our latest project—a fourplex for veteran families—a reality. This project is not just about building homes; it's about creating a space of stability, safety, and belonging.


As can be seen by the photo, we are making tremendous progress on the site. Due to the hard work of our Homeowners, some wonderful construction volunteers, and our talented Construction crew, it won't be long until our four families will be settling into their new homes.


Habitat would like to express our immense gratitude to the veteran homeowners who have selflessly served our nation and partnered with us with the same level of dedication.


We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible staff, whose passion and commitment have been the driving force behind this project. Joe and Ben - you are making us proud!


To our volunteers—those who have given their time, energy, and expertise—thank you. You are the backbone of this project.


Finally, we are deeply grateful to our community partners. Your support, whether through financial contributions, supplies, or professional expertise, has been vital in making this project possible.


Together, we have built more than just homes. We have built a community of support, care, and gratitude. 

Giving Back Together!


Last week, the amazing group from Nor'Wester Rotary Club of Port Angeles partnered with Habitat Clallam to help a local community member with some major landscaping work. Our Critical Repair client has mobility challenges, making yard work all but impossible. It wasn't just an issue of beautifying the yard, overgrowth had become a hinderance for getting in and out of their home.


The Nor'Westers were connected to the project through their newest member, Laken Folsom. Laken had been a part of Habitat's 8-week Build Class earlier this year. Laken and her classmates helped on the Veteran's Build construction site.


Our Critical Repair program helps homeowners on limited incomes restore and maintain their homes. We believe helping to preserve homes, so families can safely live in them, is as important as building new ones.
