The Carl Haglund Foundation

A business leader and philanthropist in Seattle, Washington, Carl Haglund has headed the real estate development company Columbia Modern Living since 1982. He is also the founder and chief executive officer of the nonprofit Carl Haglund Foundation.

As part of its efforts to provide viable solutions to the homelessness problem in the Seattle area, this foundation funds organizational grants and releases public reports and videos such as “Rental Laws Gone Wild.” A short documentary, “Rental Laws Gone Wild” examines the failures of Seattle’s existing rental laws to protect the rights of an organization that wants to donate property to benefit members of the city’s homeless population. The video shows how a single rent-negligent resident, who has faced and defeated numerous eviction attempts despite not paying rent for a year, has prevented the Carl Haglund Foundation from donating a housing facility to Weld, a nonprofit that houses recent prison parolees in the Seattle area. The facility could potentially house as many as 16 Weld program clients.
