With rents rising in inner-Portland neighborhoods, many low-income households have relocated to relatively affordable East County communities such as Rockwood. Yet access to essential human services has not kept pace with Rockwood’s changing demographics, including growing numbers of immigrant families. The Rockwood Building will address this gap. Housing seven human-service agencies, including project developer Human Solutions, the $16.9 million project will create a central hub for health, child care, meals for seniors, substance-abuse counseling, education, and other needed services, while providing 47 units of affordable housing, including 15 units reserved for previously homeless families. One of the first projects to break ground in the new Rockwood Urban Renewal Area, the building will also act as a catalyst for the area’s future economic revitalization.
