SEI Homecoming Fest Saturday, August 10 at Unthank Park

Posted on by Serena Li

Come to Homecoming Fest 2024 from 12pm – 6pm on Saturday, August 10 at Unthank Park!

This public event is a cultural homecoming for the African American community forcibly displaced from their roots in North/Northeast Portland neighborhoods by gentrification. The afternoon will include a maker’s market, community resource fair, food trucks and musical performances by both youth and veteran Black musicians, DJs, and this year’s headliner: Cameo!  In this way, SEI’s Homecoming Fest celebrates resilience, belonging, and keeps traditions of Black North Portland alive.

Affordable Housing Community Hearing July 9, 4pm – 5pm

Posted on by Serena Li

The Portland Consortium includes the City of Gresham, the City of Portland, and Multnomah County. An approved five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plans are requirements to receive federal entitlement funding from HUD for the four affordable housing and community development programs: CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and ESG. In Fall 2021, HUD approved the Consortium’s five-year Consolidated Plan (FY 2021-25) and the first Action Plan of the cycle. The third annual Action Plan FY 2024-25 for the City of Portland details the levels of funding available for the aforementioned programs for the upcoming fiscal year with project-specific allocations and goals.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs. HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each nonmetropolitan county. Portland-specific income and rent limits applicable to area affordable housing programs are based on HUD calculations for the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA MSA.
