Led by a culturally specific developer and service providers, Tistilal Village is a redevelopment project by the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) in the Portsmouth neighborhood of North Portland. Built in the 1970s, Tistilal Village's existing 34 units were demolished to construct 57 new affordable units (plus one manager’s unit) targeted to serve Native American families, including those experiencing homelessness. Metro Bond funding supports the newly affordable units for households at 30% AMI. The project also integrates 16 permanent supportive housing units (PSH) with culturally specific supportive services from NAYA and the Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA). NAYA also received Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEF) dollars to install high-efficiency electric heating and air conditioning systems and appliances, above-code insulation and a solar array that will provide year-round comfort and offset utility costs incurred by tenants.
Outdoor spaces at Tistilal Village include a plaza, play area, seating and community gardens. Interior communal areas and supportive service offices foster a trauma informed, community-focused setting for residents. The project has direct bus access to the NAYA Family Center and three grocery stores within a short drive or bus ride. Charles Jordan Community Center, the 35-acre Columbia Park & Annex, and Portsmouth Park offering family-friendly playgrounds and sports fields are less than one mile away.
