The Rose Street neighborhood homes will provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for full-time McKenzie families earning less than 80% of area medium income - numbers shown on the chart. -->
Using the community land trust model, we will sell the home to a qualified buyer and not the land, making it affordable. The buyer signs a 99 year lease on the land.

The Rose Street Neighborhood will also serve as a model for building firewise homes and firewise landscaping. To learn more about firewise prepared homes visit wildfireprepared.org.
