Homeownership
Habitat for Humanity provides opportunities for people to purchase affordable homes across the Portland region. Our model allows Habitat homeowners to build equity in their homes, while ensuring that the home is affordable to the next buyer. Habitat homebuyers help build their own homes and purchase them with affordable mortgages.
If you are an applicant with a disability and need to request accommodations to access any of our services, please contact the Homeownership Department at 503.287.9529.
