Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity
 | Dustin Nichols, President “CCHfH provides an established viable pathway for the hearts, minds and hands of concerned Chaffee County citizens to meaningfully engage and impact the multifaceted effort to provide affordable homeownership opportunities for our fellow denizens that are confronting the very real challenge of an evident structural disconnect between our region’s mean workforce income attainable and the price point for an entry into homeownership in our community’s real estate marketplace.” Buena Vista, CO |
 | Haley Elzinga, Vice President “I am incredibly proud to be a supporter of CCHfH. Being in the mortgage loan industry, I get to witness firsthand the impact having stable, affordable housing can have on the members of our community. Because of Habitat, we are given the opportunity to work together to make homeownership a reality for many and in turn, to better Chaffee County.” Salida, CO |
 | Filip Geeraert, Treasurer “I have been involved with Habitat for Humanity for many years in OH, as well as here in Chaffee County. I strongly believe in the Vision and Mission of Habitat for Humanity, to provide affordable housing which gives New Hope to people. Equally important to me is to provide affordable household items such as Interior furniture, exterior furniture, appliances, electric equipment, kitchenware, and construction materials to many people within our community. This way, I am convinced, we will probably impact the lives of over 1000 people in this valley. I am truly blessed to be part of it.” Buena Vista, CO |
 | Kirby Wright, Secretary "I am honored to help effectuate the principles and goals of Habitat for Humanity International through the Chaffee County chapter. Affordable housing is the foundation of community strength, cohesiveness and inclusiveness. Habitat’s mission of lending a hand to those who are willing to help themselves build a home for their family is inviolable and worthy of the greatest possible community support." Salida, CO |
 | Reverend Tom Abbott, First Presbyterian Church, Board Member "For me, the mission of Habitat for Humanity lives out beautifully Paul's description of how we are to live together. There is great disparity and injustice around housing. I am grateful for how Habitat for Humanity seeks to love neighbors by assuring just housing opportunities. After all, what better way to show hospitality can you think of?" Salida, CO |
 | Donavon Paschall, Board Member "Quality and stable housing is foundational for establishing and improving a person’s well being. Unfortunately obtaining this level of housing is out of reach for so many in our community. Thankfully CCHfH is providing a critical service in our community and helping to make home ownership an option. Owning a home is more than just a place to live. It gives someone the opportunity to increase net worth and to be a flourishing member of the community." Salida, CO |
 | Trey Shelton, Board Member “Creating stable and attainable housing options in a thriving mountain community is a challenge across the state and mountain regions. I'm excited to contribute to the work CCHfH is doing in our local and greater communities in both creating opportunities for simple, decent home ownership, and building a sustainable and impactful community.” Buena Vista, CO |
