Biggest Housing Push Ever
C ontinued from p age 3
with Home Forward, Central City
Concern, Bridge Housing Corp,
REACH, and the Meta Hous-
ing Corp on these projects, with
developments and renovations
spanning from north and northeast
Portland all the way to the Hazel-
wood, Lents and Montavilla areas.
The projects were selected to
align with a new N/NE Neighbor-
hood Housing Strategy, “A Home
for Everyone” plan to end home-
less, and give priority to longtime
and displaced residents under a
new preference policy.
Additionally, the non-prof-
it housing organization Human
Solutions is negotiating with Port-
land housing oficials on creating
40 affordable housing units for
low income families in Gateway,
as well some speciically reserved
homes for families at risk of be-
coming homeless or who are al-
ready homeless, and refugee fam-
ilies.
“This unprecedented level of
funding is helping move the nee-
dle be providing affordable hous-
ing for vulnerable Portlanders,”
said Kurt Creager, housing bureau
director.
Creager said the projects also
are expected to leverage an addi-
tional $141 million in public and
private funding and create new
employment opportunities across
the city.
