Description
Since 1982, REACH has pioneered affordable housing and supportive programs that address complex challenges facing communities. REACH has gained local, state and national acclaim for innovation and responsiveness to difficult urban issues. Our work began with revitalization efforts in the neighborhoods of inner Southeast Portland, where we bought and renovated single family homes. Twenty-seven years later, our portfolio includes new and renovated plexes, apartment buildings and mixed-use developments located across the city of Portland. Our volunteer-powered home repair program serves senior and disabled homeowners in neighborhoods all over the city.
