An anonymous Quilcene couple has stepped forward as Habitat East Jefferson Coun
ty’s first individual Repair Sponsors! To raise awareness and inspire others, they challenge others to match them and raise another $5,000 to support repairs in Brinnon and Quilcene.
Their generosity doubles your donation to Habitat’s repair program. Each gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. Your contribution helps make homes safe, so homeowners can age in place or raise their families without the fear of leaking roofs, unsafe electrical systems, or many of the other critical issues essential for stability.
For more information about supporting Habitat’s repair program, contact Jamie at 360-379-2827 or director@habitatejc.org. To have your donation matched indicate “repair match” on your check or online donation.
Critical Home Repairs
This year, Habitat continues to make homes in Brinnon and Quilcene safe and habitable for residents who cannot otherwise repair their homes due to age, income level, or disability.
2019 Project highlights
Ralph and Linda partnered with Habitat in fall 2019 to have a heat pump installed in their home in time for cold winter weather. They will repay Habitat for a portion of the project costs and contribute sweat equity by working in Habitat’s Quilcene Store.
- Septic system maintenance, pumping, risers, and design—keeping homeowners from losing their occupancy rights due to environmental health issues
- Well pump replacements and plumbing repairs to provide access to water
- Roof repairs to prevent leaks and mold
- Energy efficient heat pump installations to replace unsafe and costly heat sources
- Accessibility upgrades and bathroom modifications to allow aging in place with dignity and safety
Thank you, 2019 Program Sponsor First Federal Community Foundation and the Quilcene Habitat Store volunteers for making this work possible. Thank you to repair partners REPAH (Real Estate Professionals for Affordable Housing), OlyCAP, and Boeing Bluebills.
