SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) — Sisters Habitat for Humanity will dedicate the final five homes at Woodlands, a 10-cottage affordable housing community in Sisters, on Friday, May 29th, 2026–and the community is invited to come out and celebrate with the new homeowners and learn more about local efforts to expand affordable housing opportunities.
The Woodlands development was created to offer affordable homeownership for individuals and families earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income.
These opportunities are designed to benefit local workers, such as teachers, health care workers, hospitality staff, tradespeople, and service industry employees, who contribute to the vibrant Sisters community.
The home dedication ceremony will run from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., followed by a community open house from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Sisters Habitat Executive Director Peter Hoover highlighted the significance of the project. “This milestone represents years of hard work, community partnership and a shared commitment to ensuring that people who work in Sisters have the opportunity to live here,” Hoover said. “We are excited to celebrate these homeowners and invite the community to see firsthand the impact affordable homeownership can have on families and our community as a whole.”
The dedication marks a continuing effort in Sisters Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build equity and long-term financial stability for community members through homeownership.
