Owning your own home is possible! Join Bend Area Habitat for Humanity on Monday, June 29 at 5:30pm for an information session in Bend that will educate families and individuals interested in applying for the Partnership Program toward Homeownership.
Bend Area Habitat for Humanity serves families in the 35-60 percent of the Area Median Income. Childcare for kids 5 and under available on a first come, first served basis.
For more than 26 years, Bend Area Habitat has built and renovated 107 affordable homes serving low-income families in Bend and Crook Co. These homes have been sold to individuals and families with a 0% mortgage. By providing affordable housing to low-income families, families are realizing an annual savings, on average, between $5,000-$6,000 which can be reinvested into the community; this totals between $645,000-$774,000.
Relative to the benefit and reinvestment in the community economically, the total property taxes paid by Habitat families since 1989 have eclipsed $1 million. Since Bend Area Habitat’s inception, assuming an average property value of $186,000, Habitat has added $16 million in assessed value of property. By providing affordable homes, Habitat is making a significant impact on individuals’ lives as well as benefitting this community.
