The need for safe, stable homes has never been greater. Back in 2018, our region’s housing crisis was escalating. Then the pandemic hit and made it abundantly clear how vital a safe, affordable home is for the health of our community. In response, you rallied around Habitat for Humanity Portland Region’s five-year, $25 million Triple Your Impact campaign. Your generosity raised an incredible $26.5 million in philanthropic gifts that we were able to leverage with over $18 million in grants from our public partners. Thanks to you, the vision of tripling to partner with 500 people each and every year is now a reality!

92% of Oregon children raised in a Habitat for Humanity home graduate from high school.
It means health.
Every year 500 more people will breathe easier in healthy homes that are accessible and safe for everyone in the family.
79% of families experiencing asthma or respiratory illnesses no longer experience symptoms since moving into their new homes.
Key Investments
By making a gift to the Triple Your Impact Campaign, you helped Habitat for Humanity invest in:
Land Acquisition and Development
Purchase and develop 100 lots for future homes.
Homebuilding
Increase homebuilding efforts to 65 homes built annually, so that more people will build strength and stability through affordable homeownership.
Critical Home Repairs
Increase critical repairs to 60 homes annually, preventing displacement and helping people age in place.
Homeownership Education Classes
Expand educational programs to the broader community, teaching skills that help people become successful homeowners, build financial security, and maintain their homes.
Community Matching Gift Fund
Our deep appreciation goes out to these philanthropic business leaders who have stepped up to create the $300,000 Triple Your Impact Community Matching Gift Fund. This incentive was activated at key moments to challenge our community to dig deeper.
