Salem Housing Authority’s newest housing community provides 60 units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) to residents exiting homelessness. Salem’s Capital Community Media tours the project with SHA’s Jessica Blakely.

2023 gave us much to feel thankful about—from talented new board members to lowered housing barriers for people experiencing homelessness.

HDC project teams completed construction of ten development projects in the past 12 months. Together, these new and renovated housing communities are providing nearly 700 affordable homes to families and individuals in Oregon.

HDC is excited to partner with four culturally specific and rural affordable housing providers, OHCS, and Meyer Memorial Trust to implement the Housing Equity Capacity Building Strategy (HECBS).

Oregon’s state housing finance agency is engaged in an effort to improve the way it deploys resources to get more affordable rental housing built. Let’s use this opportunity to create a system that empowers Oregon housing providers to craft projects that meet community needs, knowing they will have workable paths to get them funded.

Yaquina Hall was a historic building pegged for redevelopment. The Southfair Apartments was an aging housing community in need of thorough renovation. Salem Housing Authority created a single development project to achieve ambitious goals for both.
