To be eligible for the homeownership program, the applicant must be a first-time homebuyer and earn between 30-80% of the Area Median Income in Clark County
VANCOUVER — Evergreen Habitat for Humanity announces the availability of $1.5 million in total homebuyer subsidy funds to support qualifying individuals and families in purchasing a home through its affordable homeownership program.
In a time when the dream of owning a home feels increasingly out of reach, Evergreen Habitat is working to meet the needs of what the American Dream could look like and offering not just hope but a tangible pathway to affordable homeownership for those impacted by the current housing crisis.
“Clark County families and individuals deserve the opportunity to build a thriving life, and having a stable home is where it starts,” says Josh Townsley, CEO of Evergreen Habitat. “This funding helps make that goal a possibility for many who thought it was out of reach.”
To be eligible for Evergreen Habitat’s homeownership program, the applicant must be a first-time homebuyer and earn between 30-80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in Clark County. For example, a household of four could be qualified with their maximum household income of $99,300. An up-to-date metrics of household size and income qualification can be found on Evergreen Habitat’s website.
The homes available range from one bedroom to three bedrooms and span across Clark County. Last year, Evergreen Habitat announced their largest home build project to-date, the 132nd Cottages. This subdivision will consist of 32 cottages situated in a shared green area to encourage community gatherings and will be 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Applications are currently open for this subdivision.
Additionally, Evergreen Habitat has begun partnering with for-profit developers to expand homeownership opportunities for more potential buyers. The Wolf Cottages, located in Vancouver built by Wolf Industries, features a cluster of cottages ranging from a 1 bedroom to 2 bedrooms floor plan. The newest available homes, 62nd Avenue Homes located in Vancouver, meet the needs of larger households with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms floor plans. These homes are now available for applications and can be viewed by appointment only.
As housing costs continue to rise across the nation and in Clark County, Evergreen Habitat is stepping up to challenge the narrative that homeownership is only for the few. By offering substantial financial support by funds such as Washington State Department of Commerce, City of Vancouver Affordable Housing Fund, and Clark County HOME, the organization is creating an accessible pathway to home ownership for individuals and families across the county to build lasting foundations and thriving communities.
