All month long, we’re celebrating 45 years of Habitat in Portland with a look back at each decade! The 2000s brought two major milestones: the opening of the first Portland ReStore and a merger that expanded our reach across the region.

In 2008, Portland Habitat for Humanity joined forces with Mt. Hood Habitat for Humanity, which had been serving East Multnomah County and North Clackamas County since 1998.

This brought two local Habitat organizations together under one roof, laying the groundwork for the regional organization we are today.

Two weeks left to help us ♻️ Aluminum is infinitely recyclable — and it comes from much more than cans!

At our Habitat for Humanity Portland Region ReStores, donated items that can’t be resold may still have value. We salvage and recycle aluminum from items like doors, gutters, light fixtures, and more to keep useful materials out of the landfill.

We’re proud to partner with , a global leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, to help give these materials a second life.

Want to join us? Recycle eligible materials and send us your weight receipt from a recycling facility by October 31 to take part in this year’s campaign!

We loved seeing so many smiling faces at Gooseberry Trails, our new community in SW Portland! Thank you again for joining our Frame a Future celebration and supporting the opportunities that affordable homeownership creates.

You can revisit the speeches from Habitat homeowner Duffy, who shared what her new home has meant for her family; Greater Portland Bible Church Pastor Tyler Michel, who reflected on his church’s partnership with Habitat; and our CEO, Steve Messinetti, who spoke about the lasting impact of building community together.

This month we are celebrating 45 years of Habitat in Portland and sharing some fun facts from our history.

Did you know that we moved into our office on Killingsworth Street in 1995? At the time, it was called the Home Building Center.

Before we renovated it, the building was a derelict tavern. And before that, it was a pharmacy and grocery. A photo of it from 1938 hangs in our main meeting room (check it out in the comments!)

A lot has changed on this corner, and we’re proud to still be here, building affordable homes with our neighbors across the Portland region.

We’re proud to celebrate Greta Brown, named Portland’s Construction Manager of the Year by Earth Advantage for her leadership on our Twenty Fifth Terrace community!

Under Greta’s guidance, 17 affordable homes have risen from a steep hillside in Southwest Portland. Building on a terrace takes careful coordination of people, equipment, and materials to bring these homes to life.

All of our homes are built to Earth Advantage Platinum standards with high-efficiency heat pumps and only electric appliances.

In Greta’s words, “Energy is the resource, but sustainability is the legacy."

Thank you, Earth Advantage for recognizing the people and partnerships making climate-friendly, affordable homeownership possible across our region!

🎉 45 years of building homes, strengthening communities and opening doors to homeownership!

Today is a special day for Habitat for Humanity Portland Region: we were founded on October 1, 1981. That makes us the first Habitat for Humanity affiliate on the West Coast and the 15th in the world.

Here’s how it all started, according to our 1991 annual report:
𝙄𝙣 1981, 𝙍𝙚𝙫. 𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙃𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙍𝙚𝙫. 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞. 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙, 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧.

Since then, we have built and repaired homes for more than 3,500 people across Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties.

We’ll be celebrating all month long, with more fun facts from across the decades. Thank you for being part of our story — and for helping us build a stronger Portland region 🩵
