Bend, Ore. – Owning your own home is possible!
Join Bend Area Habitat for Humanity Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. for an Information Session at the Deschutes Public Library in Bend that will educate families and individuals interested in applying for the Partnership Program toward Homeownership.
Bend Area Habitat qualifies families and individuals earning $1,400 up to $4,900 per month, depending on family size.
For more than 27 years, Bend Area Habitat has built and renovated 115 affordable homes serving qualified families and individuals in Bend. These homes have been sold with a low interest mortgage. By providing affordable housing to qualifying families and individuals, they are realizing an annual savings, on average, between $5,000-$6,000 which can be reinvested into the community; this totals between $645,000-$774,000.
Relative to the benefit and reinvestment in the community economically, the total property taxes paid by Habitat families since 1989 have eclipsed $1.6 million. Since Bend Area Habitat’s inception, assuming an average property value of $200,000, Habitat has added more than $17.5 million in assessed value of property to the community. By providing affordable homes, Habitat is making a significant impact on children and adults as well as benefiting Central Oregon.
