Building Black Wealth—One Home at a Time
The 20 townhomes at Williams & Russell are designed to offer long-term, affordable homeownership opportunities to moderate-income Black families. With “missing middle” housing options and accessible designs, these homes are a tool of legacy and liberation. They’re not just for sale—they’re for the future.
What’s Included:
Ten 2-bedroom and ten 3-bedroom homes
Four townhomes with accessible ground-floor units
Modern, energy-efficient design
Targeted for families earning 60%–120% of AMI
Reserved for residents eligible through the Preference Policy
Why It Matters:
Homeownership is one of the strongest wealth-building tools—and one historically denied to Black families in Portland. This project is correcting that injustice with dignity, design, and opportunity.
Call to Action (Audience: First-Time Homebuyers, Preference Policy Applicants):

These homes are reserved for those displaced—or whose families were displaced—from this very neighborhood.
