Through our policies, plans, and funding, PHB works to stabilize families in their current homes, provide new affordable housing opportunities, and foster equitable, integrated, and diverse communities.
The mission of the Portland Housing Bureau is to solve the unmet housing needs of the people of Portland. The Bureau accomplishes its mission by building and preserving quality, affordable rental, and owner-occupied housing; supporting and sponsoring programs that help low-income Portlanders find, rent, buy, retain, and repair their homes; bringing together partners and leading them to assess the city's housing needs, choose sustainable solutions to efficiently meet them, and identify how best to pay for them; and reaching out to Communities of Color to ensure their participation in the economic opportunities that quality housing investments create.
