Participate in this one-week Habitat for Humanity built with a group of fellow University of Portland students. The group worked on building houses within the Pacific Northwest, while learning about the broader challenges of affordable housing. This experience allowed students to immerse themselves in issues surrounding housing in the Northwest, while also building community. Students not only worked alongside peers, but also had the opportunity to collaborate with the families who become homeowners of the home the group helped to build.
