ORGANIZATION: Homes First

Heroes for Housing

Work with Homes First's Development Director and Resource Development Team to plan, organize, and implement our one annual fundraiser - Heroes for Housing.

Work happens all year long but culminates on the 2nd Wednesday in September with the ONE HOUR fundraising event. The goal is to raise $100,000 each year to supplement our income and allow Homes First to grow and acquire more safe, healthy, and affordable homes in Thurston and Mason Counties.

For our tenants, these forever homes give them hope for their future and stop generational poverty in its tracks!

In order to secure a paid position as an event planner, it helps to have as much real world experience as possible. If you have never planned a professional event yourself, volunteering your time and services is a great way to gain real world event planning experience.

And its FUN!!!!

About Homes First

Mission Statement

Homes First creates and maintain safe, healthy, and affordable rental homes for those who need them most.

Description

Homes First, a stand-alone 501C(3) nonprofit, works to develop, own and manage affordable housing for lower income Thurston and Mason County residents unable to compete in today’s housing market. It seeks to encourage and use broad public and private participation and resources to reach its goal.

Formed in April 1990, Homes First grew out of a task force concerned about the homeless, whose members joined with other community residents concerned about the problem of affordable housing. Homes First is now working to increase the supply of affordable housing for community members in need.

Since 1990, Homes First has been acquiring, renovating, and preserving affordable rental housing for low income families, individuals, and people with special needs. Currently we own and manage 125 rental units. Income from rents goes to maintain the housing, provide staff oversight, and help fund future affordable housing projects.
