Behind every busy build day is a community helping make the work possible.

We are so grateful to the local food donors who helped fuel our Women Build volunteers with meals, snacks, coffee, and encouragement. Your generosity gave our crews the energy to keep building alongside future homeowners and reminded everyone on site that affordable homeownership is truly a community effort.

Thank you for showing up for the people who show up to build. La Bonita Brunch, Jonny's Joint, Tite Knot Craft Coffee for providing breakfast for our Lead Volunteers and helping fuel the week from the very start.

🏡 Are Habitat homes all the same?

No, because homeownership is not one-size-fits-all.

Habitat homes are designed to be affordable and efficient, while also responding to each site, community, and future homeowner’s needs, including accessibility when needed.

At the heart of it all is the same goal: helping more people in Central Oregon build a brighter future through homeownership. 💙

June is Homeownership Month!

This month, we’re opening the door to stories of local Habitat homeowners in Central Oregon.

Meet Michelle and her son.

For Michelle and her son, homeownership means more than a place to live. It means being close to family. It means room to garden, create, play, and build a more secure future.

All month long, we’ll be sharing what homeownership makes possible for neighbors in our community.

Follow along as we Open the Door to Home.

June is almost here, and we’re getting ready to celebrate Homeownership Month! 🏠💙

Homeownership does not look the same for everyone, and that’s something worth celebrating. We partner with single adults, couples, families with children, and many other household types on the path to affordable homeownership.

Throughout June, we’ll be highlighting amazing homeowners and new neighbors in the community we love.

Last week in Redmond, Women Build Week happened and it was something special.

Our women-led construction team spent the week building alongside women volunteers, and together they accomplished nearly a month’s worth of work in just five days.

That kind of progress does not happen by accident. It takes leadership, skill, preparation, teamwork, and a whole lot of heart.

A huge thank you to our construction team for guiding the work, creating a welcoming build site, and helping move these homes closer to completion for the last 3 homeowners moving into Timber Cottages.

Please help us celebrate this incredible crew. 💙
