Portland, Ore.
REACH Community Development has preserved 50 homes at the Bronaugh Apartments in Portland, Ore.
The acquisition-and-rehab effort of the Bronaugh required creativity, says CEO Dan Valliere (left center), pictured with Jessica Woodruff (far left), director of housing development, and Lucy Corbett, housing development project manager.
The Bronaugh has been preserved as part of Portland’s 11X13 campaign. “Bronaugh’s story illustrates the challenges Portland’s seniors and others on fixed incomes face in trying to hold on to their housing in neighborhoods impacted by gentrification and rising rents,” says city commissioner Dan Saltzman.
