About us
Habitat for Humanity Portland Region revitalizes neighborhoods, builds affordable and sustainable homes, and empowers families through successful homeownership. Habitat for Humanity Portland Region is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a global home building movement. Habitat welcomes people from all walks of life to partner in serving families in need and creating a better community for everyone who lives here. Founded in 1981, Habitat for Humanity Portland Region has been providing homeownership opportunities for hardworking families for 33 years. Habitat serves Multnomah and Northern Clackamas Counties, and has built over 295 homes in partnership with local families. Collectively, Habitat for Humanity has built over 800,000 homes worldwide, averaging one home every seven minutes. Habitat works with qualified, low-income families to help them realize the dream of owning their own home. We believe that building equity is a long-term solution to the problem of generational poverty. Habitat is the only organization in the Portland region that consistently offers homeownership opportunities to families making as little as $30,000. We do this through a hand-up, not hand-out model in which homeowners help to build and then buy their home from Habitat. Here’s how it works: after completing sweat equity hours, families sign their affordable mortgages and make monthly payments that are based on less than 30% of their monthly incomes. These payments go into the Revolving Fund for Humanity to pay it forward, helping to build more homes.
