Urban League of Portland

Via The Skanner: “On Thursday, the Fairfield Apartments reopened with 75 studio and one-bedroom apartments downtown. New residents receive rent assistance in order to prevent paying more than 30% of their income on housing. The building at Harvey Milk Street and Southwest 11th Avenue is open to residents exiting homelessness. Home Forward oversaw the completion of seismic upgrades to the more than century-old building, as well as window and elevator replacement and other structural improvements…. Fairfield offers permanent supportive housing, with culturally specific services like peer and mental health support, life skills and housing retention provided by the Urban League of Portland. “ CC Ivory Mathews and Nkenge Harmon Johnson https://lnkd.in/gz-s9yXv

75 rooms. Wrap around services. Spaces worthy of the people we serve. Check out this report from KGW, hear our President & CEO Nkenge Harmon Johnson on why this matters, and see what we did with the Fairfield Apartments downtown (with a special shout out to our partners at Home Forward)! https://lnkd.in/gxzZGa8x
