| Habitat for Humanity of Roosevelt and Curry Counties became an affiliate of HFH, International in November, 1999, serving the New Mexico counties of Roosevelt (county seat is Portales, NM) and Curry (county seat is in Clovis). The first home built by the affiliate in Portales was completed and the dedication held on March 8, 2003. The first Clovis home was completed and dedicated on August 30, 2005. The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness by building basic but adequate housing. All our words and actions are for the purpose of putting shelter in the hearts and minds of people in such a way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our nation and world. Our immediate goal is to provide an affordable housing alternative to those who would otherwise be unable to live in a decent quality home of their own. The community also benefits by increased home ownership and home quality among lower-income residents. This is a "win-win" situation for everyone. As a grass-roots movement, Habitat for Humanity is decentralized and accepts no government funds. The Roosevelt and Curry Counties affiliate of Habitat is an autonomous, non-profit corporation with its own board of directors and committee structure. The current Board of Directors is: Mandi Park – President
Kathleen Salter – Vice President
Patrice Tompkins – Secretary
Sherry Morrison – Treasurer
Joyce Davis – Executive Director
Board Members: Wanda Graham, Melveta Walker, Joe Parie, Felipe Macias, Gail Strickler, Gary Rhode, Marge Rhode, Greg Senn Mike Madsen, Alan Herman This affiliate is largely supported from funds and donations raised locally. All donations are used as designated by the donor. Any undesignated gifts are used where most needed. Habitat for Humanity accepts volunteers to work with the affiliate. Habitat also encourages prayer, monetary contributions, and donations of labor and other materials. You can help make this vision a reality by your partnership with Habitat.
