County's largest homeless shelter provider plans 'innovative' affordable housing project in North Portland

Transition Projects Inc. plans to construct 70 units on Portland Development Commission land after tiny-home pilot project in Kenton ends.

There's a lot planned for a plot of land in North Portland's Kenton neighborhood.

Transition Projects Inc. — the county's largest homeless shelter provider — has signed a letter of intent with the Portland Development Commission to develop land, which is also planned for 14 transitional tiny homes for homeless women, for a future "innovative affordable housing project."

Tyler Roppe, Kenton Neighborhood Association president, says the neighborhood received notice yesterday, Monday, Feb. 27, that the nonprofit had signed the letter after eyeing the site at 2221 N. Argyle St. for the last year. Transition Projects Inc. Executive Director George Devendorf confirmed with the Tribune that they are planning to break ground at the site by spring 2018 as long as they can secure funding.
