History
Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, but our history goes all the way back to 1942 in Americus, Georgia where Clarence Jordan established Koinonia Farm, an intentional and desegregated Christian community in which people shared their lives, resources, and work. Clarence Jordan’s passion for equity is woven into Habitat’s mission of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing for all.
At Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity we’re dedicated to eliminating substandard housing through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes as well as advocating for equitable housing policies. Since our founding in 1997, Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity has built over 30 homes and has provided over 15 critical in-home repairs through our Ramps & Rails program- all with the help of our volunteers. We also partner with local organizations and groups to revitalize neighborhoods through a wide array of community projects. Together we can all make Tillamook County a happier, healthier, and safer place to live.
