Housing Department
Housing that roots people – and community – here.
We expand access to housing so that Bend can be a place where people live, work, and stay.
The Housing Department works toward the vision that all community members can find affordable homes and have equitable access to housing. To this end, Bend City Council has tasked the Housing Department with developing citywide housing policies, with increasing the amount of affordable housing available to everyone, with implementing middle income housing programs, and with creating housing or facilities to house homeless individuals on a temporary or permanent basis. We believe that people who live and work in Bend should be able to afford housing in Bend.
The City periodically sells city owned land for development as affordable housing. Properties are usually sold for the cost of titling and Requests for Proposals are issued. See a map of City owned land on our City-owned property viewer.
Current request for proposals can be found on the Real Estate Department web page under Surplus Properties.
