Oregon Housing and Community Services recently announced the 2018 federal 9% LIHTC and HOME awards. This latest round of 13 awards brings OHCS to a record number of units in the development pipeline – a total of 7,800 affordable homes are in progress across the state. At an event announcing the funding, OHCS Director Margaret Salazar shared the state’s housing goals and progress through ongoing and future initiatives under the leadership of Governor Kate Brown.
“Oregon is facing unprecedented need across the housing spectrum, from homelessness to homeownership, and a severe shortage of affordable and available rental homes,” said OHCS Director Margaret Salazar. “These awards are bringing much needed housing and services to communities large and small. We are excited to celebrate the collaboration behind the Cedar Grove award, creating stable homes for families, close to jobs and schools.”
Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle, Washington County Commissioner Greg Malinowksi, and Metro Council President Tom Hughes joined Salazar to celebrate one of the latest awards, to the Cedar Grove development. The $2 million award to Beaverton will provide 44 new affordable homes serving families in the Cedar Mill neighborhood.
