Development Coordinator

South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International focused on providing affordable housing solutions in Thurston and Lewis counties.

Our work includes building new, energy-efficient homes, preparing households for home ownership, guaranteeing affordable mortgages to home buyers, performing critical housing repairs, and running two successful resale stores.
