Habitat for Humanity is celebrating a patch of
new affordable homes in the Cully Neighborhood.
Seven of the 15 Habitat homes at Cully Place
on Northeast 57th and Killingsworth are now com-
plete.
Habitat homes are constructed with donated la-
bor and the sweet equity of the new homeowners
themselves. The Cully homes would not be possi-
ble without the support of The Standard, Chris and
Lana Finley, The Whiteley Family, and Habitat for
Humanity’s Women Build program, officials said.
Each Habitat homebuyer dedicates 300 sweat
equity hours as they build their homes alongside
volunteers and later purchase the homes with an af-
fordable mortgage. Habitat is the only organization
in the Portland Metro area that consistently offers
affordable homeownership opportunities to families
making as little as $30,000 (for a family of four).
Minh, a single mother and current Cully resident,
gets ready to move into her new affordable Habitat
for Humanity home in the same Cully neighborhood
of northeast Portland.
Foster Mom Sentenced
C ontinueD from p age 3
to pay her mortgage, remodel
her home and fund other retail,
travel and transportation expens-
es, authorities said. She was
also accused of using some of
the proceeds to fund other busi-
ness ventures, including a media
company, Big Mary’s fish and
ribs restaurant in Portland, and to
purchase and flip a commercial
property.
During the time of the thefts,
residential house managers at
the foster care home complained
about a lack of basic necessities,
including but not limited to food,
toiletries and cleaning supplies.
During sentencing, U.S. District
Court Judge Marco A. Hernandez
forfeited more than $451,000 in
net proceeds Ayala received from
the sale of a commercial property
on Northeast Martin Luther King
Boulevard that officials said she
purchased with the stolen foster
agency funds.

the National Testing Network. Cur-
rently, all applicants must take this
test; effective July 1, candidates
with bachelor’s degrees and lateral
experience will not be required to
take the exam. All others will be
required to pass the test within 60
days of being placed on the Bu-
reau’s eligible list.
The Bureau is also considering
changes to the grooming standard
policy to include, considering
candidates with tattoos above the
collar line. Currently tattoos are
allowed below the collar, but are
reviewed to ensure there is noth-
ing that is sexually explicit, racial-
ly and/or sexually biased or could
be viewed as discriminatory. This
standard will also apply to any tat-
toos above the collar.
Lastly, the bureau is considering
changing its grooming standards
to allow sworn members to grow a
beard as long as the beard does not
interfere with the proper fit of pro-
tective equipment.
“These changes to policies were
made after careful review of our
hiring process in the attempt to
identify potential barriers to entry,”
said Outlaw. “We will revisit the
effectiveness of these changes after
two years to determine if our hiring
numbers have increased.”
