Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East Review

SE Portland Restore loading dock donation staff members incredibly rude when treated very kindly. Customer service training needed.

I kind of got the feel that we didnt get the caring support we were expecting. We had questions that were not answered but avoided with a scripted broken record reply. They looked at each other in a non verbal way of communicating with eye contact. Obvious to me was to agree or Express with one another there irritated mood that are questions had brought them.

I went for a conflict resolution class and a financial planning class. These classes are open to the public, but are intended for Habitat for Humanity residents. I found the classes to be simple but useful. I think the whole organization is doing great work and they really know how to support people. I worked on a habitat house once and I will definitely support the organization in the future.

FUN FUN FUN...I SHOP here FOR FUN. I'm like a kid in a candy store. However I have many friends that shop here for Work, mostly contractors. We both walk away satisfied and always surprised at the different merchandise in stock. We even sometimes leave with things we didn't know we needed. Two thumbs up.

The office for Vancouver a lady named Michelle said that they would help my parents and now have created a hardship for them since they never complied with what they said they would do. Tried to put a review on their home site and then it said it wanted to verify that I wasn't a robot and that they sent an email to verify and what a shocker it new showed up....

I love shopping all 3 Habitat for Humanity ReStores in the Portland Metro area. So many great deals and super friendly staff. Lots of folks are "DOUBLE DIPPING" = drop off your donations / score sweet deals inside the store. Last Sunday at the ReStore at 10445 SE Cherry Blossom Dr. 97216, I found a really great contractor's tool belt for way less than it cost at Home Depot, Lowe's or Ace Hardware (I patronize these big retailers too). Highly recommend to all. *****TEN STARS*****

Some reviews here are for the Habitat ReStore, one review I noticed is for the Vancouver Habitat - a different organization.
PORTLAND Habitat builds and renovates simple homes for low income people. It sells those homes to the preselected person, or family, at 0 interest and monthly payments set up to be affordable for the purchaser. The funds received from the home purchasers is then put back into the organization to build more homes. Some land and materials are donated, some have to be purchased. Some labor is done by volunteers - including the future homeowners, some has to purchased - e.g.most electrical work and plumbing.
PORTLAND Habitat is a well run organization that is a win-win-win for the new home owners, the community and the many volunteers that make it all work.
I ve known this group for many years and highly recommend supporting their good work.

Habitat does great work for the community. Building homes in partnership with low income families is an awesome mission.

It s take so long after apply for nothing in the end

Apparently these are real estate agents for HUD to build and flip houses!? They help you use sweat equity as down payment to purchase a house you help build, on donated land with donated materials, at market cost of the house! Giving the money to????? I know many people who donated their houses to this program to give to the poor not to sell to them!
