HOST Programs

Community Heroes
The HOST Community Heroes program is for employees of school districts, hospitals, medical offices, and police, fire and rescue services.
In this program eligible buyers will receive $5000 to apply towards a downpayment on a home. These funds come in the form of a gift from the State of Oregon.

Home Ownership Programs
HOST has created Home Ownership Programs (HOPs) with various employers in the City of Portland. HOST provides homebuyer education, access to information about loans and closing cost assistance, and introduction to lenders who specialize in working with first time homebuyers. If you are interested in more information about our HOPs programs, contact John Miller at john@hostdevelopment.com or (503) 331-1752 ext. 102.
