The Clifford

The Clifford is Innovative Housing, Inc.’s (IHI) existing affordable housing project located in inner Southeast Portland’s Central Eastside URA. The Clifford’s 88 studio units provide homes for individuals with very high barriers to housing, including people leaving homelessness, transitioning out of prison/jail, and those in recovery. IHI will complete a substantial rehabilitation that includes upgrading the building systems and converting all of the units into studios. Central Eastside Tax Increment Finance funds will support the addition of 22 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units, bringing the total to 67 in the building. Tenants will receive case management and supportive services through IHI’s partnerships with New Narrative, Volunteers of America, and the Multnomah County Department of Community Justice.

Additional amenities after renovation will include improved offices for on-site management and resident services, a community room with kitchen and larger community gathering space, new shared laundry room, and better bike storage. Located in the vibrant Buckman neighborhood, the property is close to numerous retail and restaurant options, a hardware store, grocery store, bike repair shop, post office, and public transit including bus and streetcar. Nearby open spaces include Colonel Summers Park, the Eastbank Esplanade, and Waterfront Park.
