Habitat Launches $12 million Fundraising Campaign
We have set the ambitious goal of raising $12 million to bring stability to hundreds more families and support a permanent investment in safe, quality homes in Portland and Gresham neighborhoods. This investment will take advantage of the opportunity to purchase foreclosed lots at record low prices, transform the lives of families and neighborhoods and create economic vitality for our region.
Mr. John Gray has kicked-off the campaign by making a leadership commitment of $1 million and Meyer Memorial Trust awarded $350,000 to immediately begin building more homes. Every gift at every level will help neighborhoods hit hard by the foreclosure crisis come back to life more vibrant than before. Please join us.
Local Campaign Goals:
