MISSION
Preserve, expand and manage affordable housing in the City of Portland and provide access to and advocacy for services for our residents.
WHO WE SERVE
PCRI serves over 700 households in the City of Portland. These households are comprised of people of all ages, from all backgrounds and from a variety of economic statuses. All of our housing is for households at or below 80% of AMI. What makes our rental housing unique is that the majority of our rentals are single-family homes, giving families private yards for children, and preparing them for homeownership. Families, parents, grandparents, formerly homeless, working class, young professionals, immigrants and native Oregonians comprise some of the traits of our residents.
