These developer partnerships increase the opportunity for more people from all walks of life to experience the stability of homeownership
VANCOUVER – Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing affordable housing, expands their impact in Clark County through partnerships with local for-profit housing developers.
Evergreen Habitat for Humanity recognizes the limited opportunities for first-time buyers in the current housing market. By partnering with developers, Evergreen Habitat is able to vastly increase affordable homeownership opportunities by working with income-qualified buyers to secure affordable mortgages for newly-built homes through subsidies. These developer partnerships increase the opportunity for more people from all walks of life to experience the stability of homeownership.
The recent partnership with Wolf Industries, a Clark County developer located in Battle Ground, has added fifteen new homes to Habitat’s inventory that will be purchased by income-qualified Habitat homebuyers. These newly constructed homes meet the needs of individual homebuyers and small families, featuring 600 to 800 square feet layouts with one or two bedrooms, new appliances, and modern layouts. The new development located in Vancouver includes communal green space and parking. These homes will be added to Habitat Home Trust, a land-trust model utilized by Evergreen Habitat to ensure permanent affordability of units. Should the homeowner ever decide to sell, the property will be re-sold to another qualifying homebuyer.
Habitat will be hosting an Open House to showcase the homes by Wolf Industries to potential buyers at 13700 NE 34th Street, Vancouver on the following dates:
Wednesday, August 13, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. and 5:30–7:30 p.m.
Saturday, August 23rd, 10 a.m.–1 p.m.
Saturday, August 30th, 10 a.m.–1 p.m.
As part of Habitat’s homeownership program, homebuyers go through a rigorous qualification process with Habitat and partner lender, attend orientation and homeownership classes, and are encouraged to engage in their community in a meaningful way.
