May Housing Unlimited Staff Spotlight: Heidi Webb

Heidi is a woman of many talents! She's got the entrepreneurial spirit, the calming presence of a yoga instructor, and the dedication of Housing Unlimited's part-time Development Director.

Raised by a single mother, who Heidi recalls "liked to move a lot," Heidi's early life was further marked by her father's tragic accident, which resulted in a permanent disability and his lifelong battle with depression. These formative experiences instilled in Heidi a profound sense of empathy, an unyielding determination, and a passion to make a difference.

Her connection with Housing Unlimited spans over 25 years, beginning during her early career in fundraising. It was then that her path crossed with Abe Schuchman and the organization, which was a tenant in a building for which Heidi had successfully raised funds for its purchase and renovation! She describes Abe, both then and now, as "salt of the earth," and expresses a deep sense of honor in working alongside him to serve Housing Unlimited's inspiring mission. She also deeply values the dedication of her colleagues and finds meeting the tenants both humbling and inspiring.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Heidi is deeply committed to volunteer work, particularly for animal-related causes. A true animal lover, she is the proud mom of two rescued dogs and a horse. Above all, Heidi cherishes her role as a mother, especially to her son, who is newly serving our country in the United States Navy—a testament to the values of service she instilled in him.

In addition to her other pursuits, she is a certified yoga instructor, finding joy and fulfillment in leading classes such as "Candlelight Yoga," "Poolside Yoga," and "Yoga with Weights" each week. She considers this a weekly highlight and looks forward to expanding her classes in the coming year.

In essence, Heidi's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, empathy, and service. Her life experiences have cultivated a multifaceted individual dedicated to enriching the lives of others, both personally and professionally, with a profound and abiding love for humanity.
