Clackamas Transitional Housing Community and Project Turnkey

Residents will be referred through the county’s coordinated housing access program, which requires clients to be current local residents or have close ties to the local area. Priority will go to households with the highest need, including low-income households, those with disabilities, and marginalized groups. Residents may include single adults or families, young adults, seniors, veterans and survivors of domestic violence.

The county is committed to ensuring that businesses can thrive and that the presence of transitional housing will benefit the neighborhood. This transitional housing will have on-site staff to assist with resident concerns that may arise. There will be regular safety meetings that include county partners, the service provider, and law enforcement. This team has been successful in addressing impacts to local residences and businesses and keeping law enforcement calls low. Camping outside of the building will not be allowed. Other safety measures may include lighting, cameras, and more.

This program is operated by Clackamas County and a to-be-named service provider, in collaboration with local law enforcement. This team has extensive experience managing transitional housing communities like this, especially ones operating out of former hotels. They will provide residents with a safe environment, food, health, job search assistance, and other needed resources, along with support to find and move to permanent housing. There will be onsite management staff to support residents whenever needs may arise while also ensuring that the property stays beautifully maintained and remains an asset to the neighborhood.
