Rhean Souders, Finance and Operations Administrator

My name is Rhean (which rhymes with Ian) Souders, and I started this week at the Housing Alliance as the Operations and Finance Administrator.

In this role I’ll be taking care of the internal needs of the office, from assisting both the Executive Director and Director of Policy and Advocacy to working on the budget and day-to-day finances, office management, and staffing processes.

My experience in these areas comes from over 10 years of work at The Seattle Times in a variety of administrative roles, and I’m excited for the chance to adapt those skills to the nonprofit world and the Housing Alliance in particular. Prior to my work at The Times I spent over four years serving and working with AmeriCorps*VISTA and other national service programs in Washington and across the country, and I’m thrilled to be working again toward resolving the problems of poverty. In VISTA I saw first-hand the effects of unstable living situations, especially on children, and I believe that working toward long-term solutions to basic needs like housing is absolutely essential to building a functional, sustainable, and just society. I look forward to participating in the Housing Alliance’s work in education and policy change to bring about those long-term solutions.

In Washington I’ve been both a “dry-sider” and a “wet-sider,” and I love spending time all over this incredibly diverse state. From the golden fields of the Palouse to the drizzly streets of Seattle, I feel right at home, and I’m glad to help make this a better place to live.
