Every day, the people of Portland and Gresham can become heroes.

By swinging a hammer or making a financial contribution, thousands of ordinary people are making a commitment to building a better community where poverty housing is unacceptable. Habitat is one of the only organizations in the area that offers homeownership to hardworking low-income families with a 0%-interest mortgage after completing 500 sweat equity hours. This year marks 30 years of Habitat building homes in Portland and Gresham, and as part of this landmark event, we are increasing our homebuilding capacity to 30 homes annually.

The need keeps growing; we will keep building. Will you join us?

Habitat’s most popular build day is back for another match making extravaganza on TWO construction sites!

Join 35 single men and women for a day of meeting new people, building homes for a cause, learning savvy new skills and more. A donation of $20 per person covers the cost of building materials used through the day and includes lunch on site, a sweet Habitat T-shirt and fun games to help introduce you to other singles!

Reserve your spot by signing up here and then follow the links to our donate page and select Singles Build from the program designation drop down menu to make your $20 donation!
