Habitat for Humanity
The Tillamook Board of Realtors was proud to once again facilitate a grant of $5,000 through Oregon Realtors Home Foundation for Tillamook’s Habitat for Humanity.
This year, according to Habitat’s Briar Smith, Executive Director and Linda Hamilton, Office Manager, the money will be used for their Critical Home Repair program to help seniors, citizens with disabilities, and our Veteran population with critical repairs to their homes. Smith explains, “our Critical Repair Program serves low income homeowners by performing repairs that help them to age in place. This program is a life changing blessing to recipients - so it’s near and dear to our hearts.”
As a Board we are thrilled to be able to continue our ongoing tradition of helping Habitat through grants, fundraising and volunteerism.
All money will be used locally within the boundaries of Tillamook County.
For more information, or an application for Habitat’s Critical Home Repair, or other valuable programs, a quick phone call to 503-842-7472 can get you started.

Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB)
Tillamook Board of Realtors is proud to partner with EVCNB (Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay) a non-profit organization dedicated to building personal, community and regional resilience, and promoting a culture of emergency preparedness.
TBOR has received a $5,000 grant rom the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to develop, administer and make available these quality “Go Bags” to our clients and our community.
EVCNB has lead the way in Preparedness for the Tri-County area of Nehalem, Manzanita and Wheeler for over 15 years. They are nationally recognized as an exemplary organization and have helped many preparedness efforts up and down the Tillamook Coast through TC4 (The Tillamook County Citizen Corps Council).
I was lucky enough to receive a preparedness backpack from my Broker, Megan Despain when closing on my condo. The backpack has all of the essentials! It creates a sense of security and peace of mind that I am ready to go in case of an emergency. I’m really thankful to have such an amazing gift!
