The Redmond based housing company celebrated its third decade of success, building its 17,000th home and donating over $18 million to charitable causes since its conception in 1989.

Home-builder Hayden Homes is offering a total of $150,000 in grants to three communities that offer innovative solutions for affordable housing.

Recently, Hayden Homes announced its newest charitable initiative with the Hayden Opportunity Fund for Housing Affordability, an investment fund that will give $150,000 to cities and counties that are supporting affordable housing projects.

The Hayden Opportunity Fund for Affordable Housing was announced last month at the largest League of Oregon Cities conference in the conference’s history.
