About Us

We founded Landed in 2015 to uphold those who uphold us: our educators, healthcare workers, and first responders. In expensive cities, high land prices make it difficult for many individuals to become the long-term residents our communities depend on. If we want stronger schools and safer communities, we need to support those who make it possible.

The first place we tackled was our own backyard, the San Francisco Bay Area, where we created our shared equity down payment program. Since then, we’ve expanded to help school, healthcare and government employees navigate all of their different options for buying a home. Helping these critical community members become homeowners keeps them on the front lines and improves outcomes for those who they serve; that's why our down payment program is financially supported by organizations like the DRK Foundation and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, who share our commitment to helping educators and others live near the communities they serve. Since our founding, we’ve been able to expand our reach to Seattle, Portland OR, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Hawaiʻi, Washington DC, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Atlanta, and beyond.
