Our Mission

Community Homes of Patagonia, Inc. aims to support the diversity and vibrancy of the Town of Patagonia, Arizona and its vicinity by providing quality, affordable housing opportunities to low and moderate income people in this community.

Our Approach


The two pillars of our approach are affordability and permanence. We are an independent 501c.3 non-profit and follow the Community Land Trust model. We are committed to being around in perpetuity to ensure the houses we build are affordable forever.

The Need

Patagonia is located in Santa Cruz county, the lowest economic county in the State of Arizona. Many of its residents are generational low income.
