52 homes. One big opportunity.

Gooseberry Trails is Habitat Portland Region’s largest community to date, with 52 permanently affordable homes taking shape in SW Portland. A community this size creates an extraordinary opportunity to not only build homes, but to build a more inclusive future.

Rising costs are making it harder to keep these homes within reach for families with few other paths to homeownership. These are the preschool teachers, home health aides, transit workers, and case managers who are part of the fabric of our community yet have been priced out of the traditional housing market.

Frame a Future is a bold campaign to raise $500,000 for Gooseberry Trails, ensuring Habitat can keep the dream of homeownership achievable for more people.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT:

Gifts are matched through September 30 — up to $150,000!

Thanks to generous support from Tom and Noelle Mehlhorn and Shirley, your gift goes twice as far.
When the full match is met, NECA-IBEW will unlock an additional $25,000 for Gooseberry Trails.

Make a Gift

Habitat is one of the only organizations offering homeownership to families earning 35%–60% of Area Median Income. That’s roughly $45,000-$77,000 for a four-person household.

Your gift helps ensure more families with few other paths to homeownership have the opportunity to buy a home at Gooseberry Trails.

ABOUT GOOSEBERRY TRAILS:
