Building the Future: Our Journey of Homes and Hope

At Habitat for Humanity, we’re transforming dreams into reality one home at a time. Our current builds are a testament to the power of community, where volunteers, donors, and families come together to create safe, affordable housing. These projects are more than just construction; they’re about fostering stability, hope, and opportunity for families in need. Each home represents a step toward a brighter, and stronger future!

Uniting Non-Profits for Housing and Education in Dundee

Dundee Commons is an innovative co-location building project in Dundee. Newberg Area Habitat for Humanity offers its extensive experience in assisting income-qualified families in constructing and owning safe, affordable housing. Head Start of Yamhill County provides comprehensive early learning programs designed to benefit children and their income-qualified families. Newberg First United Methodist Church sold the land for the project to Habitat in December 2025.

Together, these organizations will develop a three-story building in downtown Dundee, which will feature two Head Start classrooms capable of supporting up to 50 children through free preschool and family services. The project will also include seven homes, built by Newberg Area Habitat for Humanity, which will be sold to our partnering families.
