Chelsea Cardon
Chelsea Cardon is an operations executive for a national media company, where she leads large teams and builds the systems that turn big ideas into lasting impact. Her work has always centered on solving complex problems in practical ways — with a focus on the people affected on the other side of those decisions.
That perspective is what led her to create The Harbor Project.
Through her professional and personal experience, Chelsea has seen how quickly stable, hardworking families can face housing insecurity after a job loss, medical issue, or unexpected financial setback. In many cases, the difference between stability and crisis isn't long-term assistance — it's time.
The Harbor Project was founded on a simple belief: most families don't need to be rescued. They need a bridge — a steady path that helps them weather a difficult season without losing the foundation they've built. Just as a harbor provides safety and stability in the middle of a storm, the organization offers short-term rent and mortgage support to help families stay anchored in their homes while they regain their footing.
Chelsea brings her experience in leadership, accountability, and systems-building to ensure The Harbor Project is compassionate, responsible, and built to create lasting stability for the families it serves.
