Goals
Develop an advisory board:
We need passion, wisdom, energy and skills to help guide the future of OPEN Housing. KEY NEEDS: finance, real estate, construction, law, banking, media and online outreach, grant writing, fundraising, strategic planning and community/government liaison.
Build financial capacity to hire staff and expand housing possibilities. Kick-off a Capital Campaign
Strategically plan for:
- More scattered site shared homes starting with a home for men.
- A campus of apartments around a central hub for low-income adults experiencing disabilities, other low-income and market-price tenants.
- A Legacy Homes invitation to put in trust a family home for the future use of adults experiencing disabilities, thereby gaining a substantial tax benefit for donating to a not-for-profit organization, with no capital gains tax.
- Partnership for building new "cottage homes", or acquiring existing homes and properties, with community and governmental collaboration.
Advocate for more housing in Clallam County for:
- Low-income adults experiencing disabilities;
- Other low-income adults;
- Other tenants able to pay market rate.
Please help us OPEN hearts and homes:
- Ensure your child’s future independence and ability to THRIVE.
- Encourage parents and others to leave a Community LEGACY—a new shared home for your child and/or others.
- Advocate for more housing for those most at risk.
- Experience the joy of generosity: Freely share your time, money or other resources to the extent that you are able.
