Proud Ground Secures $195,000 in Funding to Expand Affordable Housing Impact

Proud Ground, the largest Community Land Trust in the Pacific Northwest, has successfully raised $195,000 in its latest funding round. This significant investment marks a pivotal step forward in the organization’s mission to create and maintain affordable housing in an increasingly challenging real estate market. With a portfolio exceeding 300 permanently affordable homes across Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Clark, and Lincoln Counties, Proud Ground is committed to ensuring that community members can access secure and stable housing without facing the pressures of skyrocketing prices. The funds will be strategically allocated to expand their existing affordable housing projects, enhance community outreach programs, and facilitate the development of new residences that meet the diverse needs of local families. Additionally, these resources will support educational initiatives aimed at empowering residents with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the home-buying process. Proud Ground believes that homeownership should be an attainable dream for everyone, and this funding will enable them to deepen their impact and foster a sense of belonging within the communities they serve. As Proud Ground prepares to embark on this exciting new chapter, they remain dedicated to their vision of a thriving, inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to put down roots and build a better future. They invite supporters, partners, and residents alike to join them on this journey towards affordable housing solutions that empower people and strengthen neighborhoods.
