Founded in 1991, Benton Habitat for Humanity is an affilliate of Habitat for Humanity International and celebrated our 20th anniversary this July. An affiliate is a community-based, certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is often started and directed by local leadership. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing worldwide and creating hope through homeownership in Benton County, Oregon. Benton Habitat has worked alongside 29 families, with 97 children and built homes in Corvallis (16), Alsea (2) and Philomath (8).

Benton Habitat invites people from all incomes, faiths, perspectives and walks of life to work together in partnership, building homes and community with partner-families.

We invite you to join our Global Village team in partnering with families in need to help build safe, affordable, decent homes. Thank you for becoming a part of the Global Village experience!

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity International 

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 1,300 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
