Compass Housing Alliance, a Seattle-headquartered nonprofit serving individuals, veterans and families experiencing chronic homelessness and housing instability in Washington State’s Puget Sound region, has announced the planned retirement of Executive Director Mary Steele and a search for a replacement.
“I came to Compass planning to stay as an interim executive for six to nine months,” said Steele, who led the organization since October 2019. “Instead, I fell in love with the mission and the Compass team and agreed to stay on as we transitioned into an affiliation with Lutheran Community Services Northwest. The affiliation has prepared Compass to take on new challenges and it is time for new leadership to meet those challenges.”
The Compass board of directors has selected the national search firm Talence Group to lead the effort to find a new leader, adding that candidates should be “prepared to oversee a plan for significant growth, including the development of multiple new affordable housing communities.”
