Community Home Builders

Community Home Builders (formerly Yamhill Community Development Corporation) is a private non-profit that has been building homes and investing in rural communities for over twenty years. Our organization partners with families and individuals, helping them build their own homes, achieve long-term stability and learn valuable skills aiding in long-term home maintenance.

The heart of our organization is the Mutual Self-Help Housing Program where 8-12 families team together to help build one another’s homes. Once complete, the families own their homes and have earned sweat equity along the way! This program is perfect for low and moderate income families, with mortgages that adjust with income levels. In addition to the Mutual Self-Help Program, CHB owns and manages farm-worker housing apartments and operates an array of savings and educational programs aimed at helping families find their way into affordable, stable, long-term housing.
