Newberg Area Habitat For Humanity

What Newberg Area Habitat For Humanity does

Newberg Area Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, founded in 1994 and headquartered at 620 N Morton St in Newberg, Oregon. The organization operates across a five-community service area in Yamhill County (Newberg, Dundee, Sherwood, St. Paul, and Dayton), with a paid staff of 13 plus a 12-member Board of Directors led by Executive Director Shannon Selah. Its core programs include an affordable homeownership construction model (families earning 25-60% of Area Median Income contribute 500 sweat-equity hours and receive income-tailored mortgages), the A Brush With Kindness and HUD-funded Healthy Homes Repair Programs, and a nonprofit home-goods ReStore retail operation at 801 N Meridian St. Since inception, the affiliate has partnered with 33 families on new builds or rehabilitations and completed 108 home repair projects through May 2026, while ReStore diverted more than 34,000 items from landfill in 2023. Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of affordable mortgage repayments, ReStore sales (approximately $247,906 from early 2025 through October 2025), individual and corporate donations, foundation and government grants (including $1.8M in development grants), vehicle donations via Cars for Homes, and annual fundraising events such as the Building Hope Gala. The affiliate's go-to-market is community-led, relying on a volunteer network, recurring corporate sponsors (Parr Lumber, Fonz Construction, First American Title, Titan Plumbing, Husky Heating and Cooling, Yamhill County Realtors), and partnerships with Oregon Community Foundation, Oregon Housing and Community Services, the City of Newberg, Yamhill Community Care Organization, and Head Start of Yamhill County. Current development projects include the 5th and Chehalem build (site work began March 2026), College Street Phase I (three homes sold Dec 2025-Mar 2026), College Street Phase II (planned 2027, four additional homes), and Dundee Commons (a co-location building with Head Start classrooms and four three-bedroom homes). The organization has publicly targeted scaling from one home per year to four homes and 15 repair projects annually.

Core offering

Newberg Area Habitat for Humanity partners with income-qualified families (25-60% of Area Median Income) to build affordable homes together through a sweat-equity model requiring 500 volunteer hours and financial/home maintenance education. The organization also operates the Habitat ReStore, a nonprofit resale store selling donated furniture, appliances, building materials, and home goods at discounted prices, with all proceeds funding the home-building mission. Additional offerings include the A Brush With Kindness home repair program, the HUD-funded Healthy Homes Repair Program, and the Cars for Homes vehicle donation program.

Product overview

Newberg Area Habitat for Humanity operates as a nonprofit affordable housing organization offering multiple interconnected programs. The core offerings include: the Homeownership Program for building homes with qualified families, the Habitat ReStore retail operation for reselling donated home goods, home repair programs (A Brush With Kindness and Healthy Homes), the Cars for Homes vehicle donation program, and construction sponsorship opportunities. Current development projects include the 5th and Chehalem project and Dundee Commons. The ReStore serves as both a revenue generator and community resource, while the homeownership and repair programs directly serve families in need across the Newberg, Dundee, Sherwood, St. Paul, and Dayton service area.
