The HOME Foundation

Expanding Opportunity Across Oregon

We believe stable housing strengthens families and communities, and that more Oregonians deserve a path to homeownership.

Since 2004, the Foundation has partnered with organizations across the state and distributed more than $2 million in grants to support affordable housing and homebuyer education initiatives.

Grants Designed to Help Locals

The HOME Foundation awards grants to Local Associations that disburse funds to housing-focused groups in their area. Applications are emailed to local Association Executives (AEs) and the local boards decide who they will reach out to in their community. If there’s a qualifying group in your area that has inspired you, talk to your AE.

The Oregon REALTORS® HOME Foundation Board of Directors makes available grants to qualified recipients (per the HOME Foundation Policies & Bylaws) who are chosen by each Local Association. The HOME Foundation Board of Directors has the discretion to adjust individual grant awards.

Building Stability. Creating Opportunity.

We understand that homes stabilize families and we want to help make that achievable for more Oregonians.
