Did you know about our ramps program?

We believe that safe and affordable access to home starts at the front door. 🏡💚

Through our A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) / Small Repair program, Habitat for Humanity Rogue Valley builds ramps so low– to moderate–income homeowners in Jackson County can stay safely in the homes they love.

Projects are completed with volunteer labor and are income-based on a sliding scale—some very low-income homeowners may not be asked to repay the cost of repairs.

👉 Know someone who needs a ramp or minor accessibility support to stay safe at home?

⚠️ Important update for our community! After Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill this summer, states across the country are facing Medicaid funding challenges, and Oregon is no exception.

This isn't Oregon's fault—but it is our responsibility to make sure people with disabilities have a voice in what happens next.

We need YOUR story. If you or a family member rely on Medicaid, or if you work in disability services, advocacy, or healthcare, please take a few minutes to share your experience. Decision-makers need to hear the real impact of these services on people's lives.

👉 Fill out our form here: tinyurl.com/bdhke6hv >

Your story can make a difference. Our community cares and deserves to be at the table!

🌟 HASL is Still Collecting Food! 🌟

We’re continuing our food drive to help refill our local food banks after the recent SNAP benefit delays. If you’re able, please consider donating non-perishable items to support our neighbors who are feeling the impact most. Every can, box, and bag makes a difference! 💛

Drop-offs are welcome at HASL during business hours — thank you for helping us care for our community!

Many older Americans shun an identity that could bring helpful accommodations, improve care and provide community.

HASL is stepping up for our community!

Due to the recent SNAP benefit delays, the food banks shelves are low from helping our neighbors in need. Let's come together and help our local food bank restock!

Donations can be dropped off at our office located at 305 NE E St in Grants Pass. We use the back entrance in the alleyway. Monetary donations can be made to the food bank as well.
