Invest in rebuilding the McKenzie River Valley!
Thank you for joining us as we celebrated groundbreaking of the Rose Street Neighborhood! Over 75 community members, partners, and supporters were present as shovels hit the ground for our first CLT neighborhood in Blue River. See here for photos of the event.
The MCLT's first neighborhood is under construction in Blue River!
6 Affordable Homes: Stick-built & Firewise, 3 bedrooms / 2 baths, approximately 1,300 sq ft
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.
Interested in purchasing one of our community land trust homes?
Join our contact list to stay informed of the progress & mark you're interested in homeownership opportunities! Applications for interested homeowners are expected to open early summer of 2025. All qualified applicants will be entered into a lottery.
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.
