Applications open now for 81 affordable units in Tigard July 15 2021
Metro, the regional goverment, has neared the finish line for the first housing project funded by its 2018 bond.
Applications are now open for the first in a long line of affordable housing projects financed by voter-approved bond money.
The waitlist for The Viewfinder, 11600 S.W. 72nd Avenue in Tigard, began accepting names for units priced for those earning 30% to 60% of the area median income on Thursday, July 15. Affordable housing projects like this one are a critical piece in the creation of a vibrant community, said Washington County Chair Kathryn Harrington.
Located just east of downtown in the heart of the Tigard Triangle bounded by highways 99W, 217, and Interstate 5, the 81-unit, $32.9 million project is slated to open this fall. The six-story building includes 25 600-square-feet one-bedroom units renting for $500 to $1,000 a month plus 46 800-square-feet two-bedroom units rent

The new building also is on a city bus route, important because some clients rely on public transportation.
“It’s located in the heart of the city,” Beebe said.
Crossfire Ministries is the largest food pantry in the Care and Share Food Bank of Southern Colorado network, said Lynne Telford, CEO of Care and Share.
As a “low-barrier” operation, Crossfire is known for collecting and giving away donated items to anyone who says they need help, with no income restrictions or other qualifications.
The new building is one level. With 25,000 square feet, it provides more than twice the space of the current three-story office building.
