The Home Builders Foundation                              

We are the charitable arm of the Home Builders Association

Founded in 1997, the Home Builders Foundation’s mission is to create homeownership and shelter opportunities for the disadvantaged and support the future of the homebuilding industry.  With 10 years of history and an impactful story to tell, our focus still remains the same: program areas in community service, workforce development and affordable housing .

Community Service – The Foundation facilitates the building (new construction) or renovation of dignified housing for the temporarily homeless. Through HomeAid Portland, our shelter building arm, Builders are partnered with local non-profit agencies seeking to expand facilities to house individuals and familes needing temporary shelter.  We also administer volunteer programs to improve the state of existing housing for area shelters.  Our annual event, Painting a Better Tomorrow, allows HBA members and industry leaders to directly contribute to the maintenance of local homeless shelters, most of whom operate on a shoestring budget with little funds available for maintenance costs.

Education and Workforce Development – The Foundation awards high school scholarships, mentored college scholarships. We a lso fund projects supporting educational and at-risk youth programs related to housing and homebuilding. 

Affordable housing – The Foundation funds programs designed to promote homeownership, with an emphasis on affordable housing and increasing minority homeownership. 

Major fund raisers include: Benefit Dinner and Auction each spring, Trap Shoot each summer, and an Annual Year End Fund Drive.
