Our Mission

Building Affordable Homes and Stronger Communities

Paradise Community Homes is a 501(c)(3) Indiana nonprofit corporation powered by grants, community support, and builder partnerships. We develop balanced communities and connect aspiring homeowners with partner builders while intentionally building at a price point other new-home providers are not currently serving, helping keep costs down for applicants.

For the first 90 days a home is offered, applicants must have lived and/or worked in Center Township or within the Corporate Limits of Valparaiso for at least one year. After that period, the home opens to other qualified applicants. There are no program income restrictions, but every buyer must be approved by a lender.
Kinsey Street Homes

Our first homes are now filled with life

We’re grateful to share that the five Kinsey Street homes have been completed and sold. Today, they stand as an established part of the Valparaiso community and a warm example of what Paradise Community Homes is working to make possible.

Completed Home Style

The Paradise

This home style helped shape the first Kinsey Street neighborhood. Specific colors and finishes vary by home, but the heart behind each one remains the same: creating a clearer path to homeownership.

Kinsey Street Story

Kinsey Place is an established neighborhood

What started as a project has become an established neighborhood. The Kinsey Street homes are complete, sold, and now provide a new home for Valparaiso residents while helping bring this mission to life.

Looking Ahead

Coming next: 27 lots at Cumberland Corner.

Site clearing is now underway at Cumberland Corner. Building on the success of Kinsey Street, the upcoming community will include 27 lots, fresh designs ranging from approximately 800 to 1,200 square feet, and a variety of home types arranged as a balanced neighborhood as the property moves toward new-home construction.

This grant-powered project will bring aspiring homeowners and partner builders together to create affordable homes, strengthen the surrounding community, and serve a new-home price point that is largely unavailable today.
