Proud Ground Proud Ground creates homeownership opportunities for income-eligible households. Serving OR & SW WA.

Our homes remain permanently affordable—and every dollar invested benefits the community in perpetuity. For many families, homeownership represents the American Dream and how most households build wealth. But generations of families with low-incomes and a disproportionate number of Households of Color have been locked out of homeownership. Proud Ground is working to change that by unlocking homeownership for all who believed this dream was out of reach. These intentional efforts have helped over 400 families become first time homeowners and maintain affordable homes for future generations. Founded in 1999, Proud Ground became the first city-wide entity to provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities and since has expanded to five counties – Clackamas, Clark, Lincoln, Multnomah, and Washington. Today, Proud Ground is one of the largest Community Land Trusts in the country. Our investment protects neighborhoods by ensuring working families can afford to live in their community and keep their home in affordable for years to come. Proud Ground is a membership-based organization, which gives homeowners and donors voting rights on organizational decisions. This ensures that the community members served by Proud Ground are part of the decision making that drives our mission-based work

Proud Ground is in Sitka, Alaska, this week for the Northwest Community Land Trust Coalition’s annual gathering of regional practitioners, advocates, and partners from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Hawaii.

The Proud Ground team has been enjoying Sitka’s incredible setting, including an early-morning stroll today through Sitka National Historical Park 9 (Totem Park). This evening, Proud Ground will defend its title—and the trophy—at the annual bocce ball tournament.

We’re grateful to be part of a movement that believes land can be held in trust for the long-term benefit of communities—and that housing affordability should be permanent.
