Union Avenue Building
Slated for Renovation:
PDC Loan Approved
A vacant mixed-use building
located along the commercial
strip of Union Avenue in N.E.
Portland will soon undergo reno­
vation using $109,900 of financial
assistance from the Portland
Development Commission (PDC).
At it’s March 9 meeting, PDC
approved a request for an Investor
Rehabilitation Loan to renovate
Union Manor at 2403-09 N.E.
Union Avenue in the Eliot Neigh­
borhood. The building, vacant for
about two years, contains 18 resi­
dential units on the upper two
floors, and ground floor commer­
cial space.
Union Manor, Inc., a local cor­
poration established to manage
this project, has requested the
loan from PDC. Union Manor, Inc.,
plans to lease the building’s
residential portion to Providence
Hospital for use as transitional
housing for mental health pa-
JAZZY FM 99.1
tients. Providence Hospital re­
cently received funding from the
U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development to help meet
the housing needs of mental
health patients requiring transi­
tional support to achieve indepen­
dent living.
The Eliot Neighborhood Asso­
ciation has acknowledged the
building's future use by Provi­
dence Hospital and endorsed this
use in a January letterto PDC. Pro­
vidence Hospital’s program for
transitional housing requires a
resident manager to live on site.
The three principals of Union
Manor, Inc., are William Reed, a
g e n e ra l c o n tr a c to r (o w n e r/
manager of some 200 housing
units in NE Portland); Dr. Donald
Trelstad, a ca rd io lo g ist; and
W illiam Lenz, a construction
superintendent.

and “ trained” like a dog or a
monkey. Let’s use our MBA's,
MSW’s and PhD’s to change our
com munity and STOP THE KILL­
ING.
Black people must realize that
they are getting m iseducated
thro ugh the school system ,
media and the mass culture that
is marketed especially for Black
youth. But at the same time
A fr ic a n - A m e r ic a n s
m ust
redevelop a thirst, an underying
drive for educationl
Black self-education is key.
The oppressor’s school system
must be used to obtain skills
n e e e d e d to s u rv iv e in a
technoligical world of computer
chips. It must become common
knowledge for our people that
education does not stop with a
high school or college degree.
We need a generation of parents
who can properly teach their
children about the realities they
w ill have to face in a racist
capitalist country. Black people
w ill have to be well-educated in
the technological sciences if
they are to remain a viable part of
the working class in the 21 st cen­
tury.
There is a great need for Black
parent educational centers in
every B lack c o m m u n ity . So
essential to the Black underlass’
existence is the need-to-know
that unless as a race and part of a
class become “ socially active"
to positively change our environ­
ment we w ill go backwards, in
s o c ia l p h ilo s o p h y having a
p h ilo so p h y of c y n ic is m and
despair. An oppressed national
m inority cannot afford to be
apathetic and cynical. Unless the
tend more sustained leadership
to Black children and families, all
of our Mercedes . . . w ill not hide
our failure as a generation of
‘haves that did not protect the
future during our watch.”
