History
Habitat for Humanity International was founded in Americus, Georgia, USA, in 1976 by Millard Fuller and Clarence Jordan. Habitat for Humanity International has served more than 1 million families around the world through homeownership, home repairs, microfinance loans and more.
Bend-Redmond Habitat is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. In 1989, Les Alford and a group of like-minded individuals saw the urgent need for decent affordable housing for low income families. They established our local affiliate and developed an environment where volunteerism became the key to helping the disadvantaged, one home at a time.
In 2019, we proudly merged with Redmond Habitat for Humanity, thus officially becoming Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity.
