As Portland’s homelessness crisis made national headlines, local builders were looking for ways to help out. Home Building Foundation (HBF) was one organization that provided an outlet to connect builders to the shelter community by sponsoring volunteer work parties at shelter sites around Portland.

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.
