780 Rand Road project continues to improve infrastructure

  • By Noah Noteboom Columbia Gorge News

HOOD RIVER — The 780 Rand Road affordable housing project was denied a prime opportunity to secure funding for the 129 rental units that are anticipated to be available as early as 2025. The Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) Local Innovation and Fast Track (LIFT) housing program has lending power of more than $30 million, but according to the City of Hood River website, affordable housing developers around the state have requested nearly four times more than is available. Despite only seven developers submitting applications in the same category as the Rand Road project, in total they requested $110 million.
