Building More Compassion
HBF Executive Director Brenda Ketah attended the groundbreaking ceremony at Tigard's Just Compassion where they are building a new 2 story building to enhance services for people experiencing homelessness.
Residential Builders Nail it!
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.
Thanks for the Memories
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.
Opening Doors
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.
