About

Our Vision – A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Our Mission – Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to providing affordable homeownership opportunities and improving the quality of homes for families and individuals in Tillamook County. Our mission includes performing critical repairs such as replacing stairs with ramps, fixing roofs, and repairing floors to enhance the residents’ quality of life.

Over the past 15 years, we have successfully built more than 30 homes and completed over 41 vital repairs. These efforts have ensured that countless children and adults have access to safe and healthy living conditions.

None of this would be possible without the invaluable assistance of our dedicated volunteers and the generous support of our sponsors and supporters. Together, we are making a positive and lasting impact in our community.

TCHFH is committed to increasing the availability of affordable housing in our community. To achieve this, we have implemented the practice of selling our houses with permanent affordability covenants. By placing these covenants on our properties, we ensure that they remain affordable for future buyers, preserving the affordable housing stock in Tillamook County.

Through our efforts, we aim to create a sustainable housing market that prioritizes affordability and supports the overall well-being of our community.

We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

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 40 critical in-home repairs through our Critical Repair program (formerly known as Ramps and Rails) 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.
