Our Mission

To keep homes in our community affordable now and in the future through the stewardship of land.

The Need

The lack of affordable housing is an issue that has become more and more prevalent throughout the country. In many areas home prices have risen faster than incomes, making housing less affordable for everyone and not affordable at all for some.

Highland Park is no exception. Rising land and housing costs and a loss of affordable units and modest housing stock have limited housing options for many people who live or work in the community. These trends have made it increasingly difficult for local businesses to hire and retain employees. Also, workers making long commutes add to traffic congestion and are forced to spend more time away from their families on a daily basis.
