Affordable Homes

Affordable Housing Development

Over the last fifteen years The Housing Trust has developed over 500 homes with an emphasis on quality design, energy efficiency and a high level of standard finish. No distinction can be discerned from the houses sold at the lowest effective price to our market rate homes. We use subsidies to reduce costs, but never compromise on quality. Our homes are built to be versatile, easily expandable, and have low life-cycle costs.

Through housing development we see the opportunity to produce truly innovative neighborhoods that go beyond what is generally available for affordable buyers. Some of our innovations include Arroyo Chico, a passive solar project with cutting edge energy efficiency, or Jacona Farm Land Trust, a five-unit project located on a historic property with acequias and a working organic farm. We are currently developing ElderGrace, a participant-designed conscious aging community, and The Village Sage, a 60 unit affordable rental project designed to meet some of Santa Fe’s most pressing housing needs.
