Oregon Housing and Community Services shares Aspire success

MacHabitat was thrilled to be recognized as recipients and focus from Oregon Housing Community Services (OHCS) in their latest press release:


OHCS joins McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity in celebrating the completion of four new affordable homes for homeownership in the Aspire Community Development.


These homes are the first to be built with support from OHCS’ Homeownership Development Incubator Program, which aims to increase the supply of affordable homes by funding construction of diverse & innovative housing types that meet the various needs of local communities.


Hillary and Daniel Cuauxinque and their family, pictured, are some of the new residents at Aspire.


"The best part of owning our home is simply having a home to call ours, a home where we get to create new memories and watch our children grow," Hillary said.

Shout Out!

Thank you to Yamhill County Care Organization!

A big thank you to Yamhill County Care Organization (YCCO) for granting MacHabitat funding toward an affordable home through their SHARE (Supporting Health for All through Reinvestment) Award. This generous contribution will go toward building a home for Celeste and her family in the Aspire Community Development. The grant will also provide meaningful homeownership counseling, financial education, and social needs screening for Celeste, to ensure she is set up for success in her new home. We are thankful for YCCO joining our mission; bringing people together to build homes, community, and hope. Thank you, YCCO!
