Waitlist Forecast

Since this property is a LIHTC property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.

Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.

The Jourdain offers a wide range of apartments from studios to three-bedroom townhome family units.

Underground parking helps preserve the grounds for green space and a playground. An on-site market provides convenience for residents and the greater neighborhood.

The Jourdain opened in 2006 as the second development of the South Quarter development (formerly Franklin Portland Gateway). Through a partnership between Aeon and Hope Community, the once blighted intersection of Franklin and Portland Avenues is being completely transformed into 300 high quality, mixed-income apartments and townhomes, along with new retail businesses and community space.

Other developments at the intersection are Children's Village Center, The Rose and The Wellstone. Designed to be family- and pedestrian-friendly, the South Quarter development has completely changed this once vacant intersection into an attractive, vibrant community hub.

The building's name honors Winifred Jourdain, Godmother of the White Earth Reservation. Winnie Jourdain, bought a home at the corner of Franklin and Portland Avenues in 1944. Her home became a refuge for hundreds of American Indians who needed community connections to help in navigating life in the city.

Dave's Thoughts On The Jourdain

Because The Jourdain participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. Because of the LIHTC program, additional units are set aside for households earning 50% or less of the AMI with corresponding lower rent caps.
