I live in Portland, oregon. I am a low income single mom. My house has been reported to the Portland Development people. I do not have the funds to do it myself or the skills. I do not have credit so a loan could be out of the question. Are there any charitable or church organizations who can help me?

But, first sit down and write a simple, one page synopsis of your situation and needs.
One paragraph describing your family and income level. A second paragraph detailing the required repairs, etc. Keep it simple. And, only ask for the most needed repairs.
You might also mail the page to a couple large churches in your area. Many bring in huge teams of volunteers each summer.
But, first they visit the homes, interview the residents, and "line up" their projects.
Best to you.
