Nonprofit affordable housing · Southern Oregon
A home of your own should be within reach.
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
Homes for the neighbors who need them most.
Our first Medford homes prioritize three groups of households.
Survivors of domestic violence
A safe, stable home as a foundation for starting over.
People with disabilities
Accessible homes designed for independent living.
Wildfire-displaced families
Households displaced by the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in southern Oregon.

Our next community in planning. Details will be shared as the project moves forward.
Our model
Built to stay affordable.
Breath of Life neighborhoods use a community land trust model, so the affordability we create today is still there for the next family.
01
Land held in trust
The land is held for the community, which keeps homes affordable for future buyers, not just the first.
02
Mixed income
Ownership and rental homes at several income levels, side by side in one neighborhood.
03
Built faster, built safer
Fire-resilient modular construction from network partners shortens timelines and holds down cost.
04
Lower monthly costs
Solar and efficient design reduce the utility bills that strain household budgets.
