We had a staff build day at our West Lake Grove community in Lake Oswego this week. The task? Remove old siding from a trailer that will be used as our construction team’s office. It was starting to let water into the wall cavity and wasn’t going to be pleasant in the winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So our staff enjoyed some late-summer sunshine (before this heatwave!) and pulled SO MANY nails. It was satisfying to see how much progress was made by the end of the day, and fun to get to know each other outside of the office 🙌

Über uns
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.

Portland has its very first Housing Production Strategy 🎉 Big thank you to City Council, the staff who drafted this strategy through months of community engagement, our partner Proud Ground, and Portland: Neighbors Welcome for uplifting our recommendations. All of our requests around advancing affordable homeownership were incorporated into the final draft! This strategy holds the potential for meaningful progress towards closing homeownership disparities between White Portlanders and Portlanders of Color, addressing the legacy of City-sanctioned displacement, and investing in housing stability for families who are struggling to maintain a foothold. We look forward to partnering with the City to implement this vision. https://lnkd.in/gfpiZPMF

Children who experience housing instability face emotional and behavioral setbacks, tend to score lower on reading and math tests in elementary school, which hinder their success in middle school and beyond. Habitat envisions a future where every child has the foundation they need to thrive in school. Go to our blog to learn more about the link between home and education - https://lnkd.in/gsjAwkgs
