Proposed Development at 4032 NE Garfield
KNA recieved this letter today to inform us of a proposed development at 4032 NE Garfield. We will make an effort to have Mr. Schatz present his plans at the November Meeting.
“Northeast Passage”- movie night at NECN, March 4th.
Movie night with North & Northeast Neighbors for Housing Affordability
Featuring “Northeast Passage: The Inner City and the American Dream”
Directed by Spencer Wolf and Cornelius Swart
“Neighborhoods besieged by discrimination, neglect and crime frequently welcome any change that seems to be for the better. But gentrification can come at a high price.
In Portland, Oregon, one woman struggling to provide a decent life for her 10-year-old daughter takes on public officials and a developer intent on creating low-income housing in her neighborhood. While public officials emphasize the need to create affordable housing in order to revitalize the community, opponents fear that the new property will attract renters who won’t take pride in their neighborhood in the way that homeowners do. But when homeowners replace renters in gentrifying neighborhoods, long-term residents are often priced out and a new class prejudice can arise.
Northeast Passage is a unique portrait of a neighborhood in the midst of dramatic change. It chronicles the clashes between those who advocate making rental properties available to low-income individuals and families, and those who promote home ownership. Proponents of both sides get equal say as the debate escalates. As seen through the eyes of one woman, this film examines an issue that challenges nearly every inner city in the country.”

Open House Tuesday, Aug 5th: LifeWorks/Beech St. Apartments
Home Forward is partnering with LifeWorks NW on a development in Northeast Portland that will provide permanent apartment homes with supportive services and expand a culturally-focused residential treatment program, Project Network.
The development’s 32 permanent apartments, which will be reserved for graduates of substance abuse treatment programs, represent Home Forward’s first “dry” housing program. The development also is part of the agency’s efforts to preserve public housing by replacing former single-family public housing homes with more cost-efficient apartments in multi-family buildings.
Patients released from treatment would be eligible to live in one of the 32 affordable housing units in the other wing. Once there, they would continue outpatient services at a LifeWorks Northwest facility two blocks away on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
