At Crescita, the new five-unit cottage cluster developed by Kôr Community Land Trust, the American Dream includes an energy efficient, net-zero home with one upstairs bedroom, two bathrooms and another flexible office/small bedroom on the ground floor, all for a fraction of the cost of the typical Bend new-construction home. By leveraging community donations and the community land trust model—where the home belongs to the owner, but the land remains in the hands of the trust—people for whom homeownership has been out of reach will soon make these places their own. Kôr is among the nonprofits featured in this season's Central Oregon Gives Campaign, helping nonprofits elevate their end-of-year-giving.
