Tabor Heights Affordable Housing Development

Status: Predevelopment
Location: Southeast Portland, Oregon
Project Type: Mixed Use Affordable Housing
Amenities: Early Learning + Community Resilience Hub

Project Overview

REACH Community Development is partnering with Tabor Heights United Methodist Church to redevelop an underutilized church property into a vibrant, mixed-use community that expands affordable housing, early learning access, and neighborhood resilience.
Located in a high-opportunity area of Southeast Portland with strong access to schools, transit, and essential services, the Tabor Heights neighborhood is currently out of reach for many low-income families due to rising rents and the neighborhood’s lack of affordable homes and childcare options. This development will change that by delivering much-needed housing and community infrastructure.

Project Features

Affordable Homes

• New affordable homes, with final unit count under design
• All homes affordable to households earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) or below
• Family-oriented housing with accessible and energy-efficient design
• On-site resident services to support long-term housing stability

Early Learning Center

• Provides affordable childcare in a neighborhood considered a childcare desert
• Priority enrollment for resident families
• Supports early childhood development and economic mobility for parents

Community Resilience Hub

A newly constructed community center designed for:

• Clean-air shelter and respite during wildfire smoke or extreme heat
• Community meetings, classes, and programming
• Access to local social services
• A resource for both residents and surrounding neighbors

Why This Project Matters

Portland’s housing affordability crisis and childcare shortage continue to limit opportunities for families, especially in high-opportunity neighborhoods close to jobs, transit, and schools.

This project directly addresses these needs by providing:

• New deeply affordable homes
• Affordable early learning access
• Resilience and emergency-response infrastructure
• A community-driven design shaped through engagement

Community Engagement

REACH and Tabor Heights United Methodist Church are collaborating with neighbors, families, and community partners to shape a development that reflects local needs and values.
The engagement process includes:

• Listening sessions and community meetings
• Resident and stakeholder interviews
• Surveys
• Collaboration with childcare and social service partners

Community input will guide the design of the housing, early learning facilities, and the resilience hub.
