Affordable Housing Coming to Orenco Station in $13.5 Million Project
The Oregonian (3/2) reports, “Washington County has awarded a $750,000 grant to a Portland-based nonprofit to help build the first affordable housing apartment complex in Orenco Station.” The nonprofit, REACH Community Development, intends “to begin construction next year on a first phase — 57 units just south of Northeast Cherry Drive at Northwest 231st Avenue. The units are targeted to workers who make about $25,000 a year and will be some of the first apartments in the nation built using Passive House standards, reducing heating consumption by 90 percent.”
