PORT ANGELES — Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County has razed a house at the corner of Third and Washington streets to make room for a new home.

“They’ve taken it down to the foundation,” said Rachel Schenefeld, volunteer and family services coordinator Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County.

“There’s a bunch of debris that needs to be hauled to the dump.”

Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County builds modest affordable housing for qualifying working families currently living in substandard housing.

A new owner has been selected for the house at 1001 E. Third St. near Civic Field.

“She’s already signed off on the house plans,” Schenefeld said.

“Now, I think it’s a matter of permits and getting the plans up to code.”

Volunteers likely will begin work in two or three weeks.
