Communities in Bloom is RootedHomes’ annual fundraiser dedicated to expanding access to permanently affordable homeownership across Central Oregon. The event gathers community leaders, local businesses, and supporters for an evening of connection and purpose, featuring dinner, storytelling, a live auction, raffle, and opportunities to invest in the future of our region.

Funds raised during Communities in Bloom directly support RootedHomes’ work developing energy-efficient homes that remain affordable for generations through the Community Land Trust model. These homes allow teachers, healthcare workers, service industry employees, and other members of the local workforce to live in the communities they serve.
