Home Repairs for Families in Douglas County
Umpqua Valley Habitat for Humanity provides low cost home repairs to families living in Douglas County. We believe that everyone has the right to stay in a safe and decent home as they age. However, far to often, seniors are unable to make home repairs to keep them safe in their own home.

If you don't see what you are needing above, please reach out to us to discuss. Please note: We typically do not complete any repairs involving roofs as we use primarily volunteers to complete repairs.
We do not offer free roofs. Unfortunately, this is a known scam where scammers pretend to be Habitat for Humanity offering free roof replacements to collect your information. If you see any ads for free roofs from Habitat in our area, please report it.
We can typically get your repair scheduled within a few months. Delays may happen for larger jobs and due to unfavorable weather conditions. If you have an urgent matter, we encourage you to give us a call and explain your situation so we can let you know if we can accommodate your project within your timeline.
This depends entirely on the size of your repair project, but we will be able to give you a rough idea of how many workdays will be involved when we complete the estimate.
We will provide you with an estimate prior to us starting your project that will go over all anticipated costs. In general though, you will be responsible for the cost of materials, any contractor labor required, and a 10% administrative fee. If you are unable to afford the costs up front, we may have additional resources available including a 0% interest loan that we offer to our repair clients.
We can mail you an application. Please reach out to us at (541) 672-6182 and select the Homeowners Services option when prompted to request a repair application.
