Centro Cultural de Washington County

Oregon Community Foundation was honored today to host a roundtable discussion with Project Turnkey community partners as they provided input to Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (center). She is sponsoring a bill to take this Oregon-grown innovation nationwide. On the right is Maria Caballero Rubio (Maria C.), Executive Director of Centro Cultural de Washington County, which operates one of 32 locally owned Project Turnkey sites across Oregon. On the left is Megan Loeb, OCF Senior Project Manager for Economic Vitality and Housing. Project Turnkey was a smart and effective initiative to use funding from the State of Oregon to upgrade underused buildings like old hotels. The result was a 30% jump in temporary shelter space.
