Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) is pleased to announce it has received a generous $5,000 grant from the Oregon REALTORS® HOME Foundation. This funding will support the organization’s critical home repair program, aimed at improving the living conditions of low-income families, including elderly, veterans, and individuals with disabilities, across Tillamook County.
The grant will help TCHFH to perform essential repairs such as fixing leaking roofs, building and repairing ramps and rails, and fixing unsafe flooring conditions for approximately six households, benefiting 10 to 12 individuals. These repairs will help ensure the safety, accessibility, and dignity of these homes, allowing families to remain in their homes for years to come.
“We are grateful to the Oregon REALTORS® HOME Foundation for their continued support of our mission,” said Briar Smith, Executive Director of Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity. “This grant will allow us to make vital repairs that improve the quality of life for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. With their support, we can ensure that these household have safe and functional living spaces, and provide them with the opportunity to live their best lives.”
Since its founding in 1997, TCHFH has been dedicated to building affordable homes, performing critical repairs, and offering wrap-around services, including financial literacy training and home maintenance education. This grant will further enhance these efforts by addressing critical home repair needs and empowering families to live independently and safely.
TCHFH also relies on partnerships with local businesses and contractors who offer services and materials at discounted rates or as donations, making every dollar stretch further. Partners such as Rosenberg Builders Supply, Habitat for Humanity International partners, and local subcontractors play a vital role in ensuring the success of the critical repair program.
The grant will fund repair projects over the next 9 to 12 months, with the goal of completing all necessary work by late 2025. TCHFH is committed to making a lasting impact, and this support will advance the TCHFH’s mission of building homes, communities, and hope.
