Homes, health, and community steps from downtown St. Johns
Located steps from historic downtown St. Johns in North Portland, Cathedral Village Apartments provides an affordable, family housing opportunity to serve a range of low-income neighbors in need.
This collaboration between Catholic Charities of Oregon and Related Northwest represents a thoughtful and timely response to the growing housing crisis affecting thousands of men, women, and children throughout Portland and across Oregon.
This community of 110 units provides safe, secure, and equitable homes for some of our most vulnerable families—communities of color, immigrants and refugees, those experiencing or at risk of homelessness—in close proximity to local amenities and natural greenspaces.
The eight units designated as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) provide chronically homeless families with access to whole person healthcare and a range of onsite social services, ensuring families receive the support they need to get back on their feet and be successful.
In addition, the local faith-based community welcome their new neighbors with open arms, helping to provide a greater sense of belonging. Construction was completed end of summer 2022 and officially opened September 20, 2022.
