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!).

The McMinnville Area is on the front lines of Oregon’s affordable housing crisis. Now more than ever, a Habitat home opens doors to strength, stability, and self-reliance – building a strong foundation for a better life. Investing in the futures of these homeowners is a strong step towards a community where everyone has a safe, decent place to live.

“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.”
