January 16, 2023
The project, located in Cully Neighborhood on Killingsworth Street, is a collaboration between Portland Community College (PCC) and Home Forward, a public corporation contracted with the federal government to administer housing programs. Hacker Architects completed the design of the four-story, 8152-m2 (87,742-sf) housing development.
The project will provide 84 economically and family-friendly apartments, serving a resident population at or below 60 percent median family income. The units will prioritize flexibility and comfort, and support a variety of living situations for tenants with different needs, including adequate room for families and single parents, as well as bedroom schemes for multiple adult roommates.
