Central
Point , Ore. -- In May, Ron visited a
Habitat for Humanity homebuilding site in Central Point
and lent a helping hand in the construction effort.
Ron is part of a program called The Houses the Senate
Built which has helped him meet Habitat for Humanity
volunteers and families around Oregon. The Houses
the Senate Built partners the U.S. Senate with
Habitat for Humanity in strengthening neighborhoods
and communities by raising awareness, encouraging volunteerism
and building simple, affordable homes with low-income
families accross the country.

"Habitat's
record is a testament to the power of individuals
when they come together in support of a cause greater
than themselves."
--Sen. Ron Wyden |
Habitat builds simple, quality homes
in partnership with families in need. In
2003, 55 Habitat
for Humanity homes
were built by 37 Oregon affiliates with families in
need of simple, decent, affordable homes. Individuals
or families earn their homes by putting in a substantial
amount of hours or “sweat equity.”
