Located in the Overlook neighborhood, the Dr. Darrell Millner Building (formerly 5020 N. Interstate) is named for the former Department Chair of Black Studies at Portland State University. Community Development Partners (CDP) and Self-Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) partnered as co-owners/developers to engage and serve the BIPOC community, furthering the goals of the N/NE Preference Policy to redress historical displacement and harmful urban renewal practices. The project includes 63 units including 17 units serving households earning up to 30% AMI. 48 units have multiple bedrooms to meet the needs of families with children in North and Northeast Portland. Notably, the 30% AMI units are distributed proportionately among the unit sizes to ensure families have access to appropriately sized units. SEI’s onsite resident services coordinator assists tenants with navigating social services and accessing other community resources.

Amenities include a small community garden, outdoor play area and courtyard, bike storage, and onsite parking spaces. Approximately 2,500 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial space are located on the ground floor. The Dr. Darrell Millner Building is within walking distance of two MAX stations and frequent-service bus lines #72 to Clackamas Town Center and #4 to Downtown Portland. Patton Square City Park is three blocks north of the site; a range of grocery stores, Providence Medical Group, and Kaiser Permanente are all in close proximity.
