Habitat for Humanity Portland Region
Mission
At Habitat for Humanity Portland Region, we believe that everyone deserves a stable and affordable place to call home.
Bottom Line for Portland
Habitat for Humanity has set a bold goal to partner with over 200 households every year, helping over 600 people breathe easier in healthy, affordable homes that are accessible and safe for everyone in the family. Over 80% of the people who purchase homes from Habitat for Humanity Portland Region are homeowners of color. 92% of Oregonian kids who grow up in a Habitat home graduate from high school and 79% who previously had housing-related illnesses no longer experience symptoms

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our organization partnered with the Center for Equity and Inclusion to complete a 14-month-long DEI training. We created an Equity Plan that states specific goals and strategies for organizational change on a personal, cultural, and institutional scale. We also established an internal, cross-departmental Equity Team to give guidance and support to the work, and hired our first Director of DEI.
