About

Founded in 2024 by local citizens concerned by the rising cost of living, Trusted Homes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to housing security in Ashland and the Rogue Valley. We create permanently affordable homeownership opportunities that serve Southern Oregon residents today and for generations to come. Through the Community Land Trust model, we provide the stability and access necessary to build a more diverse, vibrant, and equitable community.
