Actions

In a May 2024 audit report from the city's auditor, PHB's affordable housing program fell short of goals. [6]

In 2025, the bureau began construction of affordable housing in the Jade District that will support Portlanders making 30-60 percent of the area's median income. [7] This comes after the bureau received money from a federal grant early this year. [8]
