These Homes Are For You

People who are increasingly priced out of a market where homes sell over asking, often overnight. Households at or below 80% of Area Median Income are eligible. In Clackamas County that means: one person earning up to approximately $71,900. A household of four earning up to approximately $102,650. Not limited to first-time buyers. Wildfire-impacted households may qualify at up to 120% AMI.

DACA holders, ITIN borrowers, self-employed workers, and households with damaged credit are welcome.

How DevNW makes this possible.

We use a community land trust model.

DevNW removes the land from the purchase price, which lowers the price and makes the home more affordable. You own the home itself. A place that’s truly yours. Privacy, stability, and a yard of your own.

When you decide to sell, the home stays affordable so another family has the same chance you did.

Common Questions

I’ve been turned down before. Is this still for me?
Yes. Past rejections, damaged credit, or financial hardship do not automatically disqualify you.

I’m not a citizen or I use an ITIN.
ITIN borrowers and non-citizens may be eligible. Reach out and we’ll walk you through your options.

I’m self-employed or have irregular income.
That does not automatically disqualify you. We regularly work with people whose income does not look traditional on paper.

I’m years away from being ready.
That is okay. The earlier you connect, the more support we can offer. There is no such thing as too early.

I was impacted by the 2020 wildfires.
Households impacted by the wildfires may be eligible at up to 120% AMI, which is higher than the standard income threshold. Reach out and we’ll explain what that could mean for you.

What makes these homes different? DevNW uses a community land trust model. That means the purchase price is significantly lower than market rate. And stays that way over time. When you eventually sell, the next buyer gets the same opportunity you did. It's designed to build equity for you and keep homeownership possible for the community.

Will I build equity in a DevNW home? Yes. You build equity through your mortgage payments and a share of the home's appreciation. The resale formula keeps the home affordable for the next family, while making sure you leave with more than you came in with.

Homes become available on a rolling basis, a few at a time. The best way to stay informed — and to get support getting ready to buy — is to connect with us now.
