Thistle & Nest

About

Thistle & Nest makes the dream of affordable homeownership into a reality for households across Central Oregon. We know that owning a home is about more than just a roof over your head—it’s about building stability, equity, and a better future. Thistle & Nest helps local households take the first step toward owning a home in the communities they love.

Through the community land trust model, we make this dream more accessible. By retaining ownership of the land, we ensure homes stay affordable for future buyers, giving residents the opportunity to build equity without worrying about requalification. Our energy-efficient homes are thoughtfully designed to meet the diverse needs of our community, from women-led households to veterans to multi-generational families. With projects across Central Oregon, we’re helping people put down roots and thrive for generations to come.
