Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives (PCRI) To Open 40-unit Affordable Housing Apartment Complex In North Portland (Photo) - 10/23/25
This new community will provide Permanent Supportive Housing for longtime Portland residents who have historically faced barriers to stable housing and are ready for a place to call home.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives (PCRI) will cut the ribbon on a much-needed Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project in the North and Northeast Portland area on Friday, October 24.
“The opening of Kafoury Court means 40 units will be available for individuals suffering from chronic homelessness and will now be given an opportunity to have a place they can call home,” said Executive Director Kymberly Horner. “Our work is rooted in restoring access and dignity for Portlanders who’ve faced barriers to housing for far too long. This is what community reinvestment truly looks like.”
The PSH units will consist of one-bedroom and studio apartments. People with the highest barriers to housing and who are currently experiencing homelessness will be given priority through Multnomah County’s Coordinated Access priority pool. Developed for residents who have experienced these challenges, Kafoury Court will do more than just put a roof over their heads.
In partnership with Northwest Pilot Project (NWPP) and Black Community of Portland (BCP), residents will receive onsite supports right from the start, including assistance during the leasing process. PCRI will also place permanent Support Specialists onsite to work with NWPP and BCP. Acting as a liaison for residents after move-in, the Support Specialists will ensure long-term housing and health stability. Once settled, individuals can receive voluntary supportive services and community-based connections to help maintain stability, pursue personal goals, and improve overall well-being.
"Northwest Pilot Project is so pleased to be part of this new housing option for older adults who've experienced chronic homelessness,” said Laura Golino de Lovato, Executive Director at Northwest Pilot Project. “Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in the Portland Metro area. Kafoury Court represents safe and lasting housing stability for one of the most vulnerable populations in our community. We're looking forward to working in partnership with Black Community of Portland, and with PCRI."
The building is designed to foster community and connection, with every space was designed with comfort, safety, and dignity in mind. A community room anchors the corner of the building and opens to the outside as well as sunrooms on each floor, designed to spark community connection. These shared spaces help prevent the isolation that can often occur when living alone. The community room will feature a piano, open to anyone who wishes to play or simply relax and enjoy the music.
We invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of Kafoury Court.
