COEUR d’ALENE — A family banned for life from administering charities in Washington state after they unlawfully kept more than $1 million in contributions is moving to Coeur d’Alene.

The Haueter family organization — consisting of father Roy Bronsin Haueter, mother Bilee, two of their children and those children’s spouses — operated four charities that Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson presented to the court as schemes to defraud donors. Through 23 entities and 19 separate DBAs, the family was found to violate both the Consumer Protection Act and the Charitible Solicitations Act.

Charities represented by the organizations include Children’s Hunger Relief Aid, Search and Rescue Charities and an emergency fund for families of patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital, the latter of which denied ever agreeing to work with the Haueter family.

A May 24 ruling in King County was the last in a series of judgments. The family was banned for life from soliciting for virtually any charity within Washington. Penalies due to the Attorney General’s Office total nearly $300,000. The Haueters were compelled by state interests to sell their homes in Leavenworth, Maple Valley and Moses Lake, according to court documents reviewed by The Press.

The Kootenai County Assessor’s Office confirmed the purchase of the home.

The family had not yet moved into their Best Avenue home, just east of 15th Street, as of press time.

Roy Bronsin Haueter has not responded to an interview request. Representatives of a neighborhood group declined comment.
