Affordable housing appearing in Bend!

Nonprofit affordable homeownership developer Kôr Community Land Trust has rebranded to RootedHomes.

Ground was broken Monday on the latest RootedHomes development, the Poplar Community on Bend's west side. This low-income employer-supported housing is the latest project from the group which helps people attain homeownership.

"I had kind of given up on home ownership in this area," she said. "I thought it was just a dream I had to let go. But seeing what they were doing, I was like, 'I think this this could happen for me.'"

There’s a recipe for building affordable housing, which is fine, but RootedHomes goes beyond that. Our entire goal is to ask, ‘What is broken in the affordable housing system, and how can we fix it?’ The workforce housing program with the Bend Chamber does just that, bringing intentionality to homeowner selection and bringing in private investment to fund affordable housing.

Businesses join effort to help employees with workforce pilot. RootedHomes and the Bend Chamber have joined forces to build more homes for the people who work here. Partnering employers agree to cover $2500 in closing costs for homebuyers selected through lottery for Poplar Community, which breaks ground next month. Executive Director, Jackie Keogh, shared, "We found that affordable housing is no longer an industry problem, its an everybody problem." Kor announced 35 qualified employers whose employees will receive preference in the upcoming housing lottery.
