Habitat for humanity as a whole Wake up and smell the deception.... colorado Colorado

I too worked at the Pueblo Co Habitat for Humanity as the Executive Director.  I was hired with the grand illusions and stories, unfortunately the stories were lies. 

First issue, as Executive Director, I was not allowed to replace the bookkeeper who was in the pocket of specific board members. 

Issue two, a comment was made by two board members who wanted to get a Habitat loan refinanced because their personal names were on the loan. 

The bank would not give me information on the loan so I could advise the board appropriately.  When asked about the loan they became very defensive. 

Board members resigned...unfortunately the WRONG board members.  I investigated the issue which was very suspicious.  The loan was not on the legal books. 

I turned my findings over to the board members.  Another board member resigned.  This left 4 board members, of which 2-3 were involved. 

I negotiated my exit from the company and left after only 6 month of employment.  This was at great expense to me because I changed residency from one state to another at the board’s encouragement. 

I later learned that the last remaining good board member resigned and the bookkeeper was made the executive director. 

Besides the personal loan, the mortgages set up by the Pueblo board to the Habitat homeowners were questionable and the accountant is one of the questionable board member’s brother! 

I cannot suggest anyone get involved with this affiliate as a homeowner, donor or board member…unless the previous board members are removed. 

This one affiliate does not make Habitat for Humanity bad.  The ideals of Habitat are commendable, the mission honorable and the goal of creating affordable housing for everyone wonderful.  It can be done, but this affiliate does not do it correctly.

I am currently doing a research report about compliants toward HFH in the local area of Colorado. Please I would appreciate any help you can give to giving me information on how complaints are handled in the local affiliates of HFH in Colorado. I would really appreciate any information given.
