Construction
Do you have the knowledge or skill to build a house? Do you have the desire to learn? Would you like to add to the knowledge and skills you already have or develop new ones? This committee has responsibility for all phases of the project including design, permitting, obtaining materials, scheduling, obtaining professional help (when required), and the actual building. On the job site, committee members will help with supervising and training volunteers.

Family Selection
Would you like to help lower income families find affordable housing? On the North Shore many lower income families are seeking the decent, affordable housing that HFH North Shore provides. This committee performs the difficult task of selecting our next homeowner. Using non-discriminatory guidelines, committee members make the selection based on applications and family interviews.

Fund Raising / Public Relations
Are you good at meeting people? Have you helped your school or organization raise funds? While all the money from mortgages on our past projects goes to build our next house, the remainder comes largely from the efforts of this committee. The committee conducts 2-3 major fundraisers each year, keeps our name and our message in the local media, gets sponsors, and writes grants. This committee provides the means by which our projects are accomplished.

Site Selection
Do you have any ideas where we might build our next home? We're always looking ahead for a site for our next project. Do you have real estate, legal, or building experience to locate and acquire suitable building sites and rehabilitation projects? The committee is responsible for all aspects of property acquisition including title searches, environmental studies, and interactions with local government agencies.

Volunteer
Have you ever volunteered to help out? Have you ever thought how you might coordinate volunteers or fellow workers to get a job done? Help us find more volunteers. The committee maintains a listing of all of our volunteers. During building projects, the volunteer committee works closely with the construction committee to ensure the proper number of volunteers arrive at the work site at the desired time. On accelerated builds, the committee along with the public relations committee, may arrange for meals for those working at the site and much, much more.
