First Story is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fortifying communities and disrupting the cycle of multigenerational poverty through affordable homeownership.

First Story has also granted more than $2.6 million to more than 1,000 charities throughout the Northwest through its grant program. These donations help to provide shelter, food and advocacy services throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.

Through an innovative partnership with builder Hayden Homes, First Story provides loans for move-in ready homes that working families can afford. Hayden Homes constructs homes in existing Hayden Homes communities that are then sold by First Story through a 30-year, zero-down, zero-percent interest loan to families earning 80 percent of area median income or below.
