Description
Community Home Builders is a Non-profit located in McMinnville, Oregon. We are focussed on serving rural communities. For the past 25 years we have developed equity, skills and home-ownership opportunities for low-moderate income families and individuals through the use of financial savings and development programs, and our mutual self-help home ownership program. Through our mutual self-help program, families work with us and a cohort of 5-12 families to build one anothers houses. At the end of the process they have affordable, high quality, energy-efficient homes and a stable place to live. We firmly believe in the benefits that home ownership can bring including improved academic and occupational performance as well as civic engagement. We love the communities we serve and are excited for for what lies ahead!
