Housing Development Update: Colonia Libertad Expansion

[Salem, Oregon] FHDC is thrilled to share that Colonia Libertad II (CL Phase 2) is the next chapter in expanding opportunity and stability for families in Salem. This new 44-unit garden-style community will provide safe, affordable homes designed with families in mind.

The development will offer a mix of thoughtfully designed 2, 3, and 4-bedroom garden-style apartments to accommodate larger and multigenerational households. Homes will be affordable to families earning 60% or less of Area Median Income (AMI), ensuring affordable options for households often priced out of the private rental market.

CL Phase 2 will include more than 45,000 square feet of residential space and over 11,000 square feet dedicated to community amenities. Families will enjoy:

• A dedicated playground

• A futsal court for youth and community recreation

• Community gardens for growing food and cultural connection

• A community room for gatherings, workshops, and celebrations

The Colonia Libertad community is located near Bill Riegel Park, with multiple transit stops within half a mile, connecting residents to schools, grocery options, employment, and healthcare throughout Salem.

CL Phase 2 builds on the strength of the existing Colonia Libertad community, increasing access to safe housing while creating spaces that foster leadership, cultural connection, and long-term family stability.

This development will also expand our capacity to provide a wider range of supportive services for families, deepen our partnerships with community organizations like Mano a Mano, and further enhance our La Escuelita program to better serve youth.

We believe a home is just the beginning, and we look forward to welcoming families to a vibrant community where they can thrive. We sincerely thank our dedicated partners who are behind this project and for believing in our work!
