Community Development Partners

Timber Ridge was selected as an Honorable Mention of the 2024 Novogradac Journal of Tax Credits Developments of Distinction Awards in the Rural Community Impact category! We would like to thank Novogradac & Company LLP for recognizing this project. Timber Ridge is designed to introduce accessible housing choices within a rural community, fostering engagement and inclusivity across generations. Offering essential affordable apartment homes ranging from one- to four-bedrooms, the project addresses the pressing housing needs of Union County and La Grande residents. The project embraces trauma-informed and universal design principles, aiming to broaden housing access for seniors and individuals with mobility or physical disabilities in an area where such options are scarce. Moreover, Timber Ridge provides comprehensive resident services, encompassing diverse programming focused on arts, wellness, lifelong learning, and civic involvement. We are so grateful for the collaboration of the project's General Partner, Owner, and Property Manager #NortheastOregonHousingAuthority, as well as the rest of the project team: Ink Built, Bremik Construction, and #StudioWildLandscapeArchitecture.

We had an incredible time yesterday at the Lake House grand opening! It was an honor to be joined by speakers Alex Hartman Sato, Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, #LaurieCannadyUdit, Gustavo Velasquez, Lourdes Castro Ramirez, Guadalupe Duran-Medina, Dr. Lisa H. Wong, Commissioner Cielo Castro, Matt Sherrill, and Timothy Huynh. Lake House is a testament to the project team's dedication to enriching the community and tackling critical issues like displacement and homelessness. This project showcases the transformative power of collaborative efforts involving government agencies, nonprofits, and the community. The 63 unit Transit Oriented Community (TOC)  provides 32 studios and 31 one-bedroom apartment to residents earning 30% AMI and below, and is situated within walking distance of over a dozen bus lines and less than half a mile from the Metro Purple Line Subway station. All apartments offered to residents are Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) units. Additionally, each resident partners with a committed case manager from lead resident services provider The Center to create and execute a personalized service plan that aligns with their individual goals, empowering each resident, helping them to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and build a brighter future. To the residents of Lake House, welcome home!

Last week, we had the honor of hosting U.S. Representative Andrea Salinas for a site tour, accompanied by #RepresentativeTomAndersen, #MayorChrisHoy, and field representatives from U.S. Senators #JeffMerkley and #RonWyden's offices. We were grateful for their presence and commitment to affordable housing! Mahonia Crossing is a vibrant new intergenerational housing community in Salem, Oregon, offering 313 affordable apartment homes to households earning 30% - 80% AMI. Mahonia Crossing boasts an expansive 11-acre campus, thoughtfully designed to foster community gatherings and activities, complete with services and programming, provided by EngAGE, Inc., to support residents and their families. With residents already beginning to move in, the project is on track to complete construction this fall. Originally owned by Wildwood|Mahonia, a local developer with over 40 years of experience, the site was strategically sold off-market to address the pressing need for affordable housing, aligning with CDP's mission. Mahonia Crossing was designed by Scott Edwards Architecture, with landscape architecture done by PLACE.
