Portland, Oregon: Affordable Housing Prioritizes Native Americans and Artists

Mamook Tokatee is the second affordable housing project developed by Native American Youth and Family Center and Community Development Partners in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. The project brings 56 units of housing to Portland’s Cully neighborhood, where rising housing costs have displaced longtime Native American residents. The development provides housing for Native American individuals and families with a specific priority on housing artists. In 2023, the project received the Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award in the Housing for Native Americans or Tribal Populations category.

Strategic, Scattered-Site Development Preserves Affordability in Thriving, Historic Cincinnati Neighborhood

In June 2022, Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) and the Model Group completed the Willkommen, a 163-unit, scattered-site project in the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. The development is part of a larger revitalization effort initiated in 2002 by neighborhood organizations, the city, and public-private partnerships to promote homeownership and market-rate development. A mix of historically renovated and new construction buildings, the project consists of market-rate units, income-restricted units, and over 19,000 square feet of commercial space. The project helps ensure the neighborhood remains affordable, while increasing street activity, activating vacant lots, and connecting developed areas.

Eviction Protection Grant Program: $40 Million Available for Legal Assistance

The Eviction Protection Grant Program, first launched in 2021, supports experienced legal service providers in providing no cost legal assistance to low-income tenants at risk of or subject to eviction. New grant funds totaling $40 million are now available to eligible nonprofit or governmental entities, such as legal aid organizations; bar associations; legal clinics; institutions of higher education; housing counseling or other social service organizations that provide legal assistance; and local, state, or tribal agencies or courts. Grantees will also participate in research conducted by PD&R and will be expected to collect and submit data on services provided and associated outcomes.

How to Apply:
PD&R is anticipating making approximately 25 awards of $500,000 to $2,500,000 each, with a total of $40,000,000 in grant funds available.
