The Community Housing Fund (CHF) is a financial services organization focused on expanding access to affordable housing in Washington County, Oregon. Established in 2003 by the county, CHF operates as a revolving loan fund and holds CDFI status, partnering primarily with nonprofit housing developers to provide low-cost financing for land acquisition, pre-development costs, construction, preservation, and homeownership. Through its lending activities, CHF supports the development of affordable homes and aims to reduce displacement and promote housing equity within the community. Based in Beaverton, CHF collaborates with local and regional partners to leverage loan capacity and broaden its impact. Its network includes alliances with organizations such as Advancing Cities (a collaboration with Craft3 and NOAH) and community groups like Unite Oregon and HomePlate Youth Services to broaden access to housing education and leadership opportunities, reflecting a focus on diverse input in housing decision-making.
