Waitlist Forecast

Since this property may have a Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list. Sometimes these waiting lists can be months or years long and may or may not be accepting new applicants. 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 Plaza Townhomes community is home to 68 families in the north side of Portland, Ore. Though historically a blue-collar neighborhood, the community around Michigan Avenue has been gentrifying rapidly, and many hardworking residents have been priced out of their homes. Like much of the city, the residents of Plaza Townhomes have lived in fear of rent increases that, if dictated by the open market, would be unaffordable. However, Community Preservation Partners (CPP) stepped in and rehabilitated the community through an agreement that will improve the property and keep rents affordable for 30 more years.

Dave's Thoughts On Plaza Townhomes

Since Plaza Townhomes participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program, your rent would be subsidized. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. Since this property participates in the Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
