“President Carter will always be Habitat for Humanity’s most famous volunteer and the person who had the most influence in the organization’s exponential growth as a leader in housing development and policy change throughout the world,” said Steve Messinetti, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Portland Region. Steve met the Carters at several build sites and events. This photo was taken outside President Carter’s boyhood home in Plains, GA in 2014. “I believe President Carter’s legacy and principles will continue to be the True North for Habitat, causing us to continuously challenge ourselves to do more and be better for our community until everyone has an affordable place to live.” President Carter’s love for others inspired many people. We invite you to celebrate his life and share your stories through Habitat for Humanity International's online memory book – https://lnkd.in/eSwbN2cW

President Jimmy Carter was a true friend to Habitat for Humanity and worked so tirelessly to make the world a better place. He helped families build and repair homes, shone a light on the tremendous global need for decent and affordable shelter, and brought hope and opportunity to communities around the world. Please join us in remembering him and celebrating the positive impact he had on so many. #HonoringCarter

The NAO team kicked off the month of December by volunteering at Habitat for Humanity Portland Region’s ReStore! At Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, you will find a welcoming, publicly accessible home improvement store and donation center filled with new and gently used furniture, charming home decor, useful appliances, essential building materials, and much more — all at great discounted prices!

Over the last two days, Habitat for Humanity of Oregon, along with other representatives from the Unlocking Homeownership Coalition presented before the Senate and House housing committees on our priorities for the 2025 session. As Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity’s CEO mentions below: To meet Oregon’s housing needs, continued investment in programs like LIFT and HDIP is essential. Learn more about our full slate of priorities and join us in unlocking the doors of homeownership to thousands of Oregonians: homesfororegon.org
Yesterday, as a member of the Unlocking Homeownership Coalition, I had the privilege of presenting to the Senate Housing and Development Committee about two programs addressing Oregon's housing challenges: LIFT and HDIP. At Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity, LIFT funding has empowered us to build affordable, net zero homes, saving families thousands annually on energy costs. Meanwhile, HDIP is bridging the gap for workforce housing, ensuring that teachers, nurses, and first responders have access to stable, affordable homes. During the presentation, I highlighted success stories like the NW Cottages and Quince Townhomes projects, as well as our exciting partnership with Bend-La Pine Schools, to create a mixed-income community prioritizing district employees. To meet Oregon’s housing goals, continued investment in these programs is essential.

This sobering report makes it clear that we still have much work to do in Oregon. We encourage you to take a look at the full State of the State's Housing, which highlights important data. Among the many concerning statistics, here is one to know: For every $1 Oregonians earned in wage increases, the median sales price of a home increased by $7.10.
ICYMI, we released our first State of the State Housing Report. Drawing from comprehensive data on housing markets, economic trends, and demographic shifts, the report highlights the challenges Oregon residents face in affording high-quality housing. Read the whole report at bit.ly/49kLv1U.
