84 new homes will soon be built in Medford to help address the housing crisis in southern Oregon.

The Thalden’s say their hope is to provide accessible homeownership to not only fire victims, but to lower-income families, as well. A little over 6 acres of land near Jackson Creek Center in West Medford will soon be converted into a new housing community.

The project, dubbed New Spirit Village, is being run by the Ashland-based Thalden Foundation.

“We’re dealing with fire victims, these are fire-resistant houses,” said Barry and Kathryn Thalden.

The houses are being created in a unique way for sustainability by using computer-aided design and 3-D concrete printing.
