HDC ADDS EXPERTISE AND CAPACITY
Housing and Nonprofit Facility Development
HDC’s housing development services have produced or rehabilitated 2,400 affordable homeownership and rental housing units for people who need it most – those with limited incomes or special needs. Residents of these projects include farmworkers, formerly homeless veterans, chronically homeless individuals recovering from drug and alcohol abuse, low and moderate income minority homebuyers, seniors, and women coming out of correctional facilities and reuniting with their children. HDC works with nonprofits on projects ranging from single family homes to large mixed use multifamily rental housing. HDC is Oregon’s largest 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developer.

Asset Management
Since 2001, HDC has emerged as a leader in asset management technical assistance within the nonprofit communities in Oregon and Washington. HDC uses four strategies to promote excellence in nonprofit asset management: 1) individual technical assistance to build asset management systems and expertise, 2) repositioning non-performing properties and portfolios for long term viability, 3) trainings, and 4) industry support to promote best practices and system changes that will help sustain affordable housing. HDC’s asset management work has preserved over 1,000 units in Oregon and Washington and improved capacity of more than 20 organizations. In addition, HDC serves as a regional consultant for NeighborWorks America.

Housing Planning and Policy
HDC provides technical analysis, research, and program development services to inform regulatory and policy changes in the affordable housing industry in Oregon and Washington. We support both nonprofit lead initiatives and governmental program and policy development, with the goal of increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of our housing development, management, and ownership delivery systems.
