It is wonderful to be part of this history-making success. Our friends at OHCS recently surpassed the Statewide Housing Plan Goal of funding over 25,000 affordable homes, one year ahead of schedule!

“Andrea Bell spoke in an interview as the Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services helped celebrate the July 27 opening of 116 apartments for low-income families in the second phase of Colonia Paz in Lebanon. The agency contributed $15.4 million toward its construction. The project was built by Farmworker Housing Development Corporation of Woodburn, which opened 24 units for farmworkers in the first phase last year.”

Part of Director Andrea Bell’s official statement included, “With the growing need for more housing, OHCS commits to providing resources as efficiently and equitably as possible to ensure everyone has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.”

Bell adds, “This is a really great time to work in this industry.”
