Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity/Rogue Valley is a Christian based, non-profit housing ministry making home ownership possible by drawing together people of all faiths and backgrounds to build affordable homes in partnership with those in need. They serve Jackson County residents living in substandard housing whose income falls between 30% and 60% of the federal median income. They sell these homes to Habitat/RV families with a 20-year, no-interest mortgage. Habitat for Humanity Rogue Valley and the Ashland Community Land Trust have partnered on two recent projects in Ashland to develop ownership housing for hard working families.
