Christ UMC is building senior affordable housing
We believe that lives transformed by Christ result in action that transforms our world. Christ UMC takes this commitment to heart in various missions. Now, in response to the housing crisis in the Portland area, and especially the 65.8% of older adults in Washington County who pay more than 30% of their income for housing, we are seeking to utilize our assets to do the most good by creating affordable housing for seniors.
THE PROJECT:
intentionally lgbtq friendly
LGBT Older Adults are . . .
Christ UMC will partner with Friendly House to create services and a community that are safe for all older adults, especially those who have been historically discriminated based on sexuality, gender identity, and race.
In order to overcome fears of discrimination, we believe it crucial to promote this development as a "welcoming" housing community from the day we break ground.
