We will be partnering with local developers and using a variety of funding streams to fill the gap between affordability, market pricing, and building costs.

At Matthew 25, we know that a diverse community that includes a multitude of housing options for people at a variety of income levels is the healthiest place to live. Contact us if you’re interested in learning more or purchasing one of the homes we’re building.
