Habitat Home was founded in beautiful Portland, Oregon. This city is ideal in so many ways.... charming historic neighborhoods, friendly inclusive culture, a superb bar & restaurant scene, beautiful landscape & scenery, and close proximity to mountains & the ocean. It is truly one of finest cities in the US.
However, Portland like other West Coast cities has a troubling issue with homelessness. It's an unfortunate fact of life here in Portland, and in many cities in the US, that several people are without homes.
It's impossible to live in Portland and not see the problem faces many, many people. Homelessness affects people from all walks of life.
That is why Habitat Home is pledging to help alleviate the problem by donating 5% of all proceeds to homeless charities. We are partnering with six charities to help provide a home habitat for those who do not have one.
Portland Homeless Family Solutions empowers homeless families with children to get back into housing and to stay there long-term.They work in and partner with the community as a whole, including volunteers, local government, and religious congregations, to provide the highest level of service possible.
JOIN exists to support the efforts of homeless individuals and families to transition out of homelessness into permanent housing. Their efforts are directed at individuals sleeping outside or in their car in the Portland Metro area. Their service provision is not dependent on age, gender, race, ethnicity, faith, culture, language, sexual identity, specific diagnosis, or identifiable issue.
