Meet MacHabitat’s Partner: Oregon Housing and Community Services!

MacHabitat is thankful for the tremendous support from Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), for granting us funds to build five homes in 2024 and 2025 in our Aspire Community Development.

These four new three-bedroom, two-bath homes finished in 2024, plus a four-bedroom finished in 2025, are the first to be built with support from OHCS’ Homeownership Development Incubator Program, which aims to increase the supply of affordable homes by funding construction of diverse & innovative housing types that meet the various needs of local communities. McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity’s Aspire Community Development is one of eight projects awarded HDIP Development funds, which will lead to the creation of 84 new homes around the state — and for MacHabitat, the funding was game-changing. It allowed us to build more homes at once than ever before in our organization’s history. Read more about the impact here.

Thank you, Oregon Housing & Community Services!

Partner Spotlight

Congratulations to the new homeowners and McMinnville Habitat on this important progress. Many of us can see ourselves reflected in Hillary and Alexandrea’s story. It underscores what we know to be true about our shared values: investing in housing is an investment in student success, family stability and the economic health of our state.

Together We Build: join OHCS and make a difference as one of MacHabitat’s community partners!
