🎧 132nd Cottage Homes: 32 Affordable Homes for Clark County
Evergreen Habitat announced the 132nd Cottage Homes project in 2025, stating that it will be the largest construction project to date for their local organization
VANCOUVER — On May 29, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity’s fourth annual Taste of Home fundraising event took place on the 132nd Cottage Homes site located in Vancouver. The evening brought together community leaders, residents, supporters, and local businesses that share the mission that everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
Evergreen Habitat announced the 132nd Cottage Homes project in 2025, stating that it will be the largest construction project to date for their local organization. In response to Clark County’s need for affordable housing, the 132nd Cottage Homes is an innovative approach to building 32 homes with shared green space.
This community will be home to 32 residents who meet the income requirements between 35-80% of area medium income. The 32 cottage-style homes will be part of Habitat’s Home Trust program. Part of this commitment ensures preservation of affordable homeownership by prioritizing permanent affordability. All the houses within the Home Trust program will only be resold to another qualifying homebuyer, safeguarding the homes from inflating housing costs. These cottage homes fall under this program, with the mortgage determined by affordability criteria for the homebuyer.
The Taste of Home fundraising event invited community members to view the site as a groundbreaking moment for the project’s beginning. The fundraising evening raised over $120,000 to support this project. Foundations have begun the first phase of the site with volunteer opportunities coming soon.
