Christopher Ross has rejoined Compass Housing Alliance as its new president. Ross previously served Compass Housing Alliance as chief operations officer from 2019 to 2021. Under the board's authorization, he will lead the team with two primary objectives: to continue in providing essential emergency services such as shelters and hygiene centers while also focusing on the development and management of low-income housing for individuals and families, and to advance the 2021 affiliation agreement with Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW) to create a fully integrated organization. Compass Housing Alliance and LCSNW share complementary missions, and were both founded by Otto Karlstrom more than 100 years ago. This integration will equip Compass Housing Alliance to tackle challenges facing nonprofits in the housing, human services, and refugee support sectors, including uncertain government funding, shifting political views, and the rising costs of providing care. Former president Michael Bailey left Compass to pursue other professional opportunities.
