Creating solutions to poverty
Improving lives in our community

WHO WE SERVE

We have 85 units scattered between Drain and Canyonville along the I-5 corridor.  76 of the units are set aside for specific, hard to house populations.  These populations include previously incarcerated individuals and families, alcohol and drug recovery individuals and families, chronic mental illness families or a combination of populations, all at very low (<50% of median) or extremely low (<30% of median) income.  No two properties have the same occupancy requirements.  As a rule, these hard to house families need more attention than a general population family.  We have two Case Managers that work at the three Transitional properties, regarding specific A&D program requirements.  Even though the maximum lease at the transition properties can be 2 years, the average tenancy is under 9 months.

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• During 2011, UCAN completed Trillium Terrace, which is an eight unit complex of permanent housing for families that have a member of the household who is disabled.  UCAN also is a co-sponsor of Eagle Landing, a 54 unit housing project which will serve homeless veterans.  Eagle Landing is being developed in partnership with NeighborWorks Umpqua, and is expected to be completed in 2013.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Martha Young Family Service Center, Roseburg

• We are currently involved in two housing projects: Eagle Landing and Camas Ridge Apartments.
• Eagle Landing, is a cooperative project with the Veterans Administration and NeighborWorks Umpqua. Eagle Landing will provide supportive housing to veterans and will become a vital part of the Veterans Affairs’ campus in Roseburg.

PARTNERS IN DEVELOPMENT

UCAN currently partners with a variety of agencies and contractors to complete our housing projects and to maintain the low-income housing units that are currently rented.  Partners include Umpqua Community Development Corporation (UCDC),  local contractors, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), Veterans Affairs, and various foundations that assist in funding our housing projects.
