Rose Street Cottages in Blue River Coming Soon!

The MCLT's first affordable housing neighborhood breaking ground in Blue River fall 2024!
6 Affordable Homes:  Stick-built & Firewise, 3 bedrooms/2 baths, Approx 1,300 sq ft 

These 6 homes will provide permanently affordable home ownership opportunities for fire survivors and other full-time McKenzie community members who may be struggling to find an affordable option.  Using the land trust model, we will sell the home and not the land to a qualified buyer, making it affordable.  For more information about how CLTs work visit our What is a CLT? tab. 

If you are interested in applying to purchase one of our community land trust homes, 

please join our contact list to stay informed of progress & opportunities. 

Our development partner is Springfield-based non-profit, DevNW. DevNW has a proven track record of developing high quality, affordable community land trust homes in Lane County and throughout Oregon. 

The Rose Street Cottage neighborhood will also serve as a model for building firewise* homes and firewise landscaping.  To learn more about firewise prepared homes visit wildfireprepared.org
