Our Goal

At New River Home Trust, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live where they work, raise a family, and build a future. As a community land trust, we create affordable homeownership opportunities in the New River Valley for the people who help our community thrive.

We offer a unique, long-term housing solution that helps families build wealth while keeping homes affordable for future buyers. Backed by local partners and community support, our model serves as a blueprint for a more balanced and inclusive housing landscape in Southwest Virginia.
