The lack of affordable housing and the city's overburdened shelters led to a range of possible ways to combat the problem—but it was inspiration from the houseless community themselves ("houseless" is a preferred term within the community) that led to the start of an innovative solution.  In the spring of 2016, a group called the Village Coalition—made up of advocates, activists, and houseless individuals—joined forces with several student fellows and faculty Sergio Palleroni and Todd Ferry from the Center for Public Interest Design (CPID), a research and action center within the Portland State University 's School of Architecture. Working together, they created the POD Initiative (Partners On Dwelling) to address  houselessness in the city. They observed that the houseless community had been establishing their own informal "villages" around the city. As a result, the group reached out to the greater architecture community , asking them to apply their...

Some 2, 700 apartment units are in various stages of construction among those cities.

Locally, many developers have settled for the common denominator of sets of fourplexes with the occasional six-, eight- ...

PORTLAND – The remaining low-income residents of rental units at the Eastland Park Hotel have 90 days to move out and make way for a major hotel renovation that could include a new ballroom in Congress Square Plaza . Eviction notices were sent to residents Monday. Earlier this month, about 12 tenants were still living in the hotel, said city spokeswoman Nicole Clegg . The notices came as no surprise since the hotel’s owner, Ohio- based RockBridge Capital , has been clear about its plan to convert about 50 low-income apartments into hotel guest rooms under the Westin Hotels name. The 90-day notice is 60 days longer than the residents’ leases require, said Adam Valente, senior vice president of RockBridge Capital, who noted that the investment group is making a significant donation to the city’s housing fund. The evictions will set in motion an overhaul of the 85-year-old hotel that Valente said will turn a “left-for-dead property” at a heavily traveled intersection into “a great sh...
