Seven Reclaimed Portland Homes
Available fo r Ownership at PDC’s
Homestead Open House
Seven homes in Portland neigh­
borhoods will be offered to lower-in­
come residents at the upcoming Home­
stead Open House on Sunday, August
25, 1991, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. The
Portland Development Commission
(PDC) administers the Portland and
Urban Homestead Programs, which
provide home ownership opportunities
to those who otherwise might not be
able to afford their own home. The
program provide a significant tool to
help the city reclaim vacant and aban­
doned housing, while encouraging neigh­
borhood revitalization and stability.
Through the Homestead Programs,
PDC acquires vacant homes in need of
repair and transfers them to qualified
homesteaders. In turn, the homesteader
agrees to make necessary repairs be­
fore moving in, accept a low-interest
PDC home repair loan and live in the
house for a minimum number of years.
There is no down payment involved in
becoming a homesteader. Homestead­
ers pay a one-time charge for taxes and
insurance of $500. Monthly payments
on the home repair and acquisition loans
average $350, including taxes and in­
surance.
The Portland and Urban Home­
stead programs are almost identical.
One difference is the residency require­
ment which is five years under the
Urban Homestead Program and three
years under the Portland Homestead
Program.
Each of the seven homes to be
offered August 25 will be open be­
tween 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. Potential
homesteaders must visit each home in
which they are interested to be consid­
ered for ownership. PDC will hold a
random drawing for each home and
will notify those whose names are se­
lected.
PDC advisors will be at each home ,
to answer questions during the open .
house. The addresses of the homes being
offered are:
i
•6 7 2 5 N.E. Cleveland, 2 bedroom
• 1247 N.E. Highland, 3 bedroom
• 5936 N.E. 17TH AVE., 2 bed
