Bridge Breaks Ground on MF in Portland

BRIDGE Housing broke ground on North Williams, a 61-unit affordable apartment project in Portland. The developer commemorated the milestone with governmental officials and development team members at the site at 2156 N. Williams Ave. in north and northeast Portland.

The mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments is envisioned to serve very low-and low-income families, with priority given to displaced residents or those at risk of displacement. Reaching even deeper affordability, 40 of the 61 apartments will have Project-Based Section 8 vouchers.

BRIDGE Housing’s Cynthia Parker says, “We’re proud to bring this development to a neighborhood that has been so impacted by displacement and change. With deep affordability and high-quality services, the homes at North Williams will have the power to change people’s lives.”

Planned features include individual stoops for ground-floor units, a large community room with adjacent outdoor gathering area, laundry facilities, a children’s play area and a variety of gathering spaces for residents.
