    BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity announced Monday that it has begun accepting applications for 22 new homes in Bend and Redmond.

    The two communities, located in SW Redmond and SE Bend, include a mixture of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom options featuring solar panels and designed with environmental sustainability at the forefront. Future homeowners will benefit from an affordable, stable mortgage and low utility bills.

    Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity says it is one of the few housing developers in Central Oregon providing opportunities for affordable homeownership.

    With their homeownership program, families and individuals complete volunteer hours, participate in monthly financial education, and attend homeownership preparedness classes.

    When those requirements are fulfilled, prospective buyers purchase their home with a traditional 30-year mortgage. Each household’s monthly mortgage payment is affordably set at or less than 33% of monthly gross income.

    Habitat leverages grants and fundraising to cover the difference between construction costs and what a working-class household can afford.

    For these developments, qualified buyers must earn under 80% of the Area Median Income.

    Each new Habitat home provides a deserving family with a brighter future — with the pride, safety, educational attainment, and wealth building opportunities that go along with homeownership.

    Applications are available at Habitat’s Admin offices, Bend Restore, the new Redmond Donation Center, Latino Community Association, and online. The deadline for submission is 5 p.m. Friday, April 19.

    For more information or to download an application, please visit https://bendredmondhabitat.org/habitat-homeownership/ .
