MISSION
CPAH’s mission is to promote a healthy community through the development of permanent affordable housing, sustainable economic growth and community-based partnerships.

WHO WE SERVE
We currently serve more than 650 individuals of very modest means, from families to seniors, veterans and the disabled. Average household incomes range from $10,000 to $26,000 annually. Many households are transitioning from homelessness, substandard or over-crowded living conditions, and move in with support from our service partners. Rents at our apartment complexes are targeted to serve people earning 60 percent or less of the area median income, with many units servicing incomes at or below 30 percent of area median income ($20,350 annually for a family of four). Residents of CPAH housing are very culturally diverse, with about half of all residents belonging to a minority group. Just over 50 percent of families are single women with children.

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Acquisition/renovation of three apartment complexes and four single-family rental homes (168 units), and construction of five new apartment complexes (157 units), for a total of 325 housing units
• Successfully initiated policy incentives for affordable housing in Tigard (tax abatement, fee waivers, housing code)
• Strong, long-term partnerships with local schools, police, library, churches and service agencies
• Operate several collaboratives for youth and adults at CPAH sites, including After School and Summer Youth programs, parenting and recovery groups, site-based case management and housing stabilization programs, which have been recognized regionally
• Worked with local jurisdictions (Washington County and City of Beaverton) to create annual set-aside of CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds for core resident services
• Completion of first “Green Communities” project in Oregon, which was featured in a national Urban Land Institute case study, as well as several national publications and periodicals for its innovative low-impact and green design features (including preservation of woodland habitat, and expansion of wetlands)
• Completion of 51-unit mixed use, senior housing development (The Watershed @ Hillsdale), which was certified LEED Silver and highlighted in several national publications and awards programs for its innovative green features and clean up of a brownfield site
• Completion of The Knoll at Tigard, a 48-unit green and sustainable senior housing complex, which was the first residential development in downtown Tigard as part of the Tigard City Center’s redevelopment plan

CURRENT PROJECTS

• Current projects include: two rehabilitation projects in Beaverton, serving families and individuals of very modest means; and developing 48 units of affordable housing as part of a new, medium density, mixed-income, mixed-use project in Old Town Beaverton.
