Home ownership may seem entirely out of reach for many folks trying to make their way in Sisters. First Story is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), founded in 1998 by Hayden Watson of Hayden Homes, headquartered in Redmond. The currently available home is the middle unit of a triplex in the Hayden Homes McKenzie Meadows Village development. This housing opportunity is in a "Fresh Start" home, meaning that it was previously occupied by a First Story owner. Prospective homeowners must complete an education program to help set themselves yup for success.
