I wanted to say well done Hayden Homes for your continued community involvement through your local non-profit, First Story. I just read the Cascade Business News article about the exciting partnership between First Story and YouthBuild joining forces to build an affordable home for a low-income family in Redmond, Oregon. It’s awesome and I’m proud to hear such a great organization is continuing to do great things in Central Oregon; you certainly earned COBA’s Non-Profit of the Year Award!
First Story will finance a zero down payment, zero interest 30-year home mortgage for the well-deserving family; YouthBuild will provide the builders! YouthBuild offers young adults hands-on job training by employing them to build affordable housing in local neighborhoods while at the same time helping them earn their GED and work their way to full-time employment or college.
Home ownership is one of the pillars of the American Dream and I love hearing positive stories about first-time home ownership, especially when it’s local. I hope to find a way for Steve Bennett Builders to get involved.
First Story
Steve, thank you. We appreciate your kind words. First Story is proud to have partners like Hayden Homes and Heart of Oregon helping us build sustainable communities here in Central Oregon. Together we will give families, youth and persons in need a chance at a better future and an opportunity to be productive, active leaders in our community! We would love for Steve Bennett Builders to get involved!!!
