What is the ReBUILD Spokane Wildfire Recovery Fund?
When a major wildfire disaster hits, the journey to permanent housing recovery can take years.
Habitat for Humanity – Spokane operates as part of a larger ecosystem of community recovery. We are actively collaborating and communicating with community, municipal, county, state, and international partners to understand the evolving landscape of long-term local needs. By pledging to the Fund, you ensure that Habitat remains a stable and ready partner for our community. This approach allows us to determine precisely how and where we can fit into Spokane’s long-term recovery framework while allowing us to continue creating affordable homeownership pathways.
The Need: Long-Term Recovery Requires Upfront Capacity
For an organization like Habitat for Humanity, the challenge is long-term disaster response requires immense institutional capacity and financial stability before any long-term planning can begin. Without dedicated operational funds, attempting to navigate a disaster risks destabilizing ongoing, active commitments to local families waiting for affordable housing.
