Hate to be rude ,...but.
1. 37th ave.???!! not a great neighborhood. Makes me think that HFH had a quota to spend.
2. I hope this particular "Conaster" isn't related to the known Clearlake Conaster's - otherwise YAY Habitat for Humanity! You just sponsored a meth house!

Is this from a lack of background check by HFH?

Heard that a guy that is involved with HFH fell off his roof and hired guys with no licenses and all that jazz. Seems that one of them has hired an attorney, how embarrassing.

I am the executive director and would like to clarify this comment. The person that fell off his roof was actually a Habitat board member. He was not working on a Habitat for Humanity home when he fell, he was working on his personal residence.

1. Habitat does thorough criminal background checks on final applicants by a professional company that checks every state the applicant has lived in. There are no perfect families, but we are doing all we can to improve the selection process and do not accept families who are involved with illegal drugs in any form.

We also require all Construction managers to have workers' compensation.

diduuallKnow just go over to the home for a nice visit with drug smling dog and see what all pouch snorts up.
to Jimmy, how would someone some from texas know its a meth house.
and for all yu that thinks its a drug huse will hers what you do;
1. paper and pin. heavy traffic take down license plates, color of vehciel, 2/4 doors/ suv etc.
2. clear idnetifycation of person (S).
3. set up video camera. you know what do!
4. gather your information for approximatley 3 weeks.
track how many of the same vehicles are return customers.
5. gather all you info then walk drive skip , get to drug task force then hand them your evidence.
6. oh yah if make a double tape should and say should law enforcement drop the ball and loss the tape, always have back-up.
7. and be good samertiy don't ask to be paid.
8. this is all for the childrens future.
9. after they go away in cuffs, pat yourself on the back and leave it at that.
10. now go on to next neighborhood you see that has drug dealers and repeat process!
diduKnoa this plan works.
1. I'm not IN Texas , newbie. That's just an IP location, i can appear to be anywhere.

2. let's get this straight. YES! I'm the one who brought up a meth issue , but i never said this new HFH house was a meth house, i simply brought up about the one families KNOWN dope history.

3. How do i know all this? I'm a lifelong Clearlake resident - i've been in the area longer than most, prolly longer than anyone that posts in here, and i know about more people than anyone in here - i even have firsthand witness of people in clearlake connected with meth who you would NOT believe who i know about! I'll leave them alone, cause they're nice people that never did any bad to me, plus , i'm sure it would damage a fine rep they have established (clue).

4. Btw- your spelling and grammar are atrocious...

Ok , look. See another comment in here by someone else who is unknown to me - they agree and obviously know a certain family as well. All i'm saying is, This one family in particular, is WELL known in Clearlake,..that's all , plain and simple. Btw- you don't have to read too much into this ,..it's just the internet. LOL!

For someone who really dont give a F, you sure have A strong feeling on this story! Might I ask where you have worked with these kids and what do they have potential at? Just an honest question. You should be proud to tell just where you have worked with them at and the potential they possess. Because this could be a whole other family than the ones that have moved into the habitat house. Who ever the family is, they had to work on not only their house but many hours on other houses for the HFH.Im sure that the director of the program had a good chance to get to know the folks that move into these houses. However They diddnt get their whole family picture in the paper as past HFH families have..Maybe thats a clue.
