Our mission is to inspire people to care for and conserve the land of the Methow Valley, ensuring it will remain a place where future generations can enjoy the rural character and natural beauty we cherish today.

METHOW HOUSING TRUST

For many Methow Valley residents, the stability and benefits of home-ownership are forever out of reach. As the Valley grows and changes, living wages cannot keep pace with dramatically increasing real estate values, leaving more and more Valley households in unsustainable living situations. The Methow Housing Trust develops and preserves affordable, quality housing for residents of the Methow Valley. Our homeownership program provides eligible full time Valley residents the opportunity to own a home in the place they love, live, work and play.
