For nearly 30 years, Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives, Inc. (PCRI) has reinvested in Portland’s neighborhoods, preserved their diversity and provided tools to help low-income Portland families achieve stability and self-sufficiency. From our original task of helping people who were unknowingly swindled out of their homes, PCRI has come a long way. Still the challenges are constant–as is our presence as an anchor of stable, diverse and livable Portland neighborhoods. With over 700 units of affordable housing, PCRI’s unique mix of single-family homes, small multi-plexes and community apartments represents one of the last stable opportunities for low-income households to remain in their vibrant Portland neighborhoods. These homes and apartments are woven into the fabric of their neighborhoods and are a model for eliminating concentrations of poverty. Our Mission: Preserve, expand and manage affordable housing in the City of Portland and provide access to, and advocacy for, services for our residents. Our Vision: Housing meets essential human needs. PCRI’s vision is to provide affordable housing and associated services that achieve family stability, self-sufficiency and resident wealth creation.
