Since 1991, MacHabitat has been building homes, community, and hope in the McMinnville area. We partner with low-income families to build safe, decent, affordable homes. Habitat families must meet three criteria: need, ability to pay a mortgage and associated housing costs, and willingness to partner. To date, we have built 72 homes (see stories from our Past Builds!).

Construction has officially begun on MacHabitat’s next round of affordable homes – and we are thrilled to partnering with three families in 2024! We’d especially like to thank Oregon Housing and Community Services for their ongoing support of our home construction. As the work to build more affordable housing continues, – please consider supporting these homes and beyond with a donation!

“Thank you, Jesus for this new journey. The answer to our prayer of this home that we are building and purchasing! I’ve prayed and dreamed for days like this and now it is happening. I am beyond grateful!”

The Taijala Family

“Just knowing that homeownership is in my future has changed my outlook on life, it has given me something to look forward to and it has given me hope. Not too long ago, I thought that we would never own a home and that we would be stuck in the rental trap and ultimately poverty forever. I’m just so excited to finally have a place of our own, our home base that we can grow in. I look forward to the pride of ownership, growing and improving our space and making it our own.”
