Olympic Housing Trust (OHT) is building Dundee Hill Community Homes, a sustainably designed, permanently affordable housing project in Port Townsend, WA. Available to residents of Jefferson and Clallam County, the Dundee Hill project will offer five town homes available for purchase and built with green building practices. This innovative layout clusters the 2 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom homes while holding onto native plant buffers and the neighborhood's beautiful community garden.

The homes will be sold to income-qualified households who have lived in the area for at least one year and are able to secure a home loan, among other qualifications. This project, along with all of Olympic Housing Trust’s, utilizes the community land trust model where OHT will develop and sell the subsidized homes to eligible households, but still maintain ownership of the underlying land through a 99-year ground lease agreement.

A local supporter donated this property to Olympic Housing Trust with the goal of supporting permanently affordable housing and strengthening local food security. Our team has worked with the donor to craft a vision for this property that includes the five townhouse units, as well as a community garden. The entire property will be stewarded by Olympic Housing Trust with the homeowners owning the homes and local community members managing the garden, with support from the new homeowners.
