Avenue Portland

Home Building Foundation-HomeAid Portland's Building Hope Gala brought together industry leaders, supporters, and future builders for an evening focused on shelter, careers, and opportunity.

Rustic elegance set the tone for the evening as guests gathered in their finest cowboy hats and boots to celebrate the people, partnerships, and dedication that help build homes and communities.

A powerful moment of the night was the special appeal for Building to Scale, an industry-led construction program that teaches participants how to build houses through hands-on training and real-world experience. By investing in skills, careers, and opportunity, the program is helping shape the next generation of builders.

Congratulations to everyone on a successful fundraising event and for investing in the builders of tomorrow.
