Home Forward, in partnership with the Native American Youth & Family Center (NAYA), have opened a new development called chaku kumtuks haws, meaning "learning house" in the chinuk wawa language. The project, funded by the Metro Affordable Housing Bond, brings 84 new affordable homes to the border of Concordia and Cully, and is co-located with PCC's new workforce development center.
28 units be affordable to households earning 30% of Area Median Income or less, and 60 units include two or three bedrooms to accommodate families. NAYA operates a three-classroom early learning center on-site, and the site also includes a large outdoor plaza designed to support a weekly farmers market and other events. Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEF) dollars were used to install heat pumps, a solar array, and other energy-efficient amenities.
The Metro Bond will bring over 2,150 affordable homes to Portland, with 1,030 now open. Along with the homes funded by Portland's Housing Bond, these units can house 9,500 Portlanders in need at any given time.
The project was designed by Hacker Architecture and O'Neill/Walsh Community Builders served as general contractor.
