Nonprofit affordable housing · Southern Oregon
Turning Point Program is a nonprofit housing developer making stability and ownership reachable for local households. We build Breath of Life communities: mixed-income neighborhoods in Medford, Bandon and Sutherlin.

Our mission
Stability comes first. From there, families can build something lasting: a safe home, real equity and a neighborhood that holds together.
Who we serve
Our first Medford homes prioritize three groups of households.
A safe, stable home as a foundation for starting over.
Accessible homes designed for independent living.
Households displaced by the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in southern Oregon.
Breath of Life communities

A mixed-income, mixed-ownership neighborhood with homes to buy and apartments to rent. In 2024 Oregon Housing and Community Services awarded $6.02 million in LIFT Homeownership funding to the project. Completion is expected in 2027.
Planned amenities include a community building with reservable space, three rooftop viewing decks, landscaped walking paths and a splash pad. Solar is designed to bring the neighborhood to net-zero energy, with panels on the parking structures expected to offset at least 80% of residents' electricity costs.

Sutherlin, Oregon
Our next community in planning. Details will be shared as the project moves forward.
Our model
Breath of Life neighborhoods use a community land trust model, so the affordability we create today is still there for the next family.
The land is held for the community, which keeps homes affordable for future buyers, not just the first.
Ownership and rental homes at several income levels, side by side in one neighborhood.
Fire-resilient modular construction from network partners shortens timelines and holds down cost.
Solar and efficient design reduce the utility bills that strain household budgets.
