On January 5, 2022, the City issued a Solicitation of Interest seeking a development partner for the City owned property at 3900 Boulevard SE. The City received 12 responses which were reviewed and discussed by the City Council on March 22. The Council articulated their top priorities to guide selection, which included the degree of housing affordability, home ownership opportunities and the inclusion of a neighborhood center. Habitat was selected to proceed into an exclusive negotiation agreement with the City as their proposal achieves all three objectives to a high degree.

In 2018, I joined South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity as the Executive Director. As part of my onboarding, I started by working with the board and staff to develop a strategic plan that included guiding principles. Through this process, we identified diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as one of the guiding principles of our organization: “Habitat for Humanity welcomes people from all walks of life to partner with us as volunteers, donors, employees, and homebuyers. We celebrate and value diversity, welcome differences, and leverage the collective strengths of all people.”
