How the reservation works

  1. Request the hold (this form). The home is marked pending for 5 business days so nobody else can take it.
  2. $500 deposit + subscription agreement. We send the agreement for e-signature and tell you where the deposit goes. Refundable until construction begins; 10-day right to cancel.
  3. Income check. The City of Portland verifies household income once, before move-in.
  4. You're a subscriber. Monthly members' meetings, then move in June 2027. The remaining $4,500 of your share is due at move-in.

No mortgage. No credit score. Income generally under 100% of area median (up to 120% for some homes) and at least $42,000 a year, so the monthly charge is no more than half your gross income.

A 1-bedroom is for 1–2 people.
