Habitat for Humanity accepting applications for Redmond homes

Published 11:39 am Monday, June 19, 2023

Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications for seven new homes in Redmond.

Located near NW 33rd & Cedar Ave and SW 27th & Wikiup Ave, the homes are a mixture of two- and three-bedroom townhomes designed with environmental sustainability at the forefront.

Under Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity’s homeownership program, families and individuals are required to complete volunteer “sweat equity,” participate in monthly financial education, and attend homeownership preparedness classes.

When those requirements are fulfilled, prospective buyers purchase their home with a traditional 30-year mortgage. Monthly mortgage payments are set at less than 33% of monthly gross income. Habitat leverages grants and fundraising to cover the difference between construction costs and what a working-class household can afford.

For these developments, qualified buyers must earn under 80% of the area median income.

Applications are available at the Bend Restore, Housing Works, Latino Community Association in Redmond, and online. The deadline for submission is 5 p.m. on Friday, June 30.

For more information or to download an application, email homeownership@brhabitat.org.
