PCC joins with Home Forward to serve community Portland Community Col- lege has joined forces with community housing provid- ers who have the expertise and resources needed to han- dle new affordable housing on campus sites. The college is currently working with Home Forward to develop and manage an affordable housing commu- nity at The Portland Metro- politan Workforce Training Center (PMWTC), located at Northeast Killingsworth and 42nd Avenue with substantial help from the Native Ameri- can Youth and Family Center (NAYA) and the neighbor- hood group Living Cully. Under construction in the Cully neighborhood of North- east Portland, the site will in- clude 84 affordable housing units and other supportive services to be accessed by people living in the surround- ing communities. Larger units will be reserved for families with children or multiple roommates, and will have units set aside for fami- lies involved in the foster care system. It’s anticipated that other PCC campuses in the fu- ture will be open to the com- munity but heavily marketed to PCC students. Students who qualify will not lose housing if they are not enrolled in col- lege, officials said. The construction at the workforce training center re- places two outdated buildings giving community members a wide range of services and programs that will conve- niently be under one roof. The project combines classrooms, meeting rooms, open work- space as well as a community room and common areas. For more details on PCC’s planning and construction, visit pcc.edu/bond/.
