Home Building Foundation is celebrating a milestone this summer, marking 35 years of HomeAid's mission to end homelessness.

Construction students from Sam Barlow traveled up a winding country road in a school bus, followed by a flatbed truck carrying an assignment they built for HBF.

Home Building Foundation will impact the lives of hundreds of people experiencing homelessness after its 2024 Building Hope Gala and Auction. More than $500,000 was pledged during the annual dinner and auction June 1 at Tumwater Vineyards in West Linn.

The National Home Builders Association awarded Home Building Association and Home Building Foundation of Greater Portland a 2023 Association Excellence Award for “Best Workforce Development Plan Implemented”.

We are hoping for a “white out” at Tumwater Vineyard June 1st for the 2024 Building Hope Gala & Auction. Our intrepid Gala team encourages everyone to dress in your best white “summer chic” outfit as we raise money for Home Building Foundation.

Home Building Foundation likes to thank some of our outstanding volunteers by declaring them “Foundation Heroes”. We’d like to introduce you to someone who has gone above and beyond to help our projects in the past two years. Erik Brakstad of Brakstad Builders is the Construction Trainer at Tivnu: Building Justice.

We are excited to share that Neil Fernando will be the Honorary Chair for the 27th Annual Building Hope Gala & Auction, presented by RidgeCrest Custom Cabinetry.

Each shelter project HBF completes involves hundreds of hours of work, and the generosity of the community. First, our nonprofit partners reach out to see if HBF can help repair, remodel, or build a facility to help people in need.

Home Building Foundation’s Project Manager Chris McDowell locked up the newly painted red front door of AnyDoor Place, culminating more than a year of remodeling.

We periodically honor members of the community who make a meaningful contribution to our organization. HBF would like to acknowledge Taylor Wick, who is Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking’s Director of Marketing & Community Outreach.

HBF and members of the residential building community have been working for more than a year to shore up the aging houses that Project Homeless Connect uses to provide services.
