OUR MISSION is to partner with low-income families by offering homeownership opportunities through the construction of simple, safe and affordable homes.**

OUR VISION is a community where substandard housing no longer exists.

Since 1991, McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity has helped 42 families escape the burdens of substandard housing and move into safe, decent, affordable homes. We have seen first-hand how homeownership impacts these families, children and communities.

The benefits of Habitat's program include:

• Helping partner families gain an increased sense of self worth and learn new skills;

• Freeing up family income for better health care, nutrition and educational opportunities;

• Providing children the stability they need to perform well in school; adds new revenue to the property tax base;

• Rebuilding neighborhoods struggling with crime and poverty.
