A combined $1.3 million will go toward three developments in Bend that will create more than 400 units of affordable housing. Bend City Council this week approved $1.3 million that will go toward three new affordable housing developments. The projects will create more than 400 units of affordable housing in the coming years.
Bend remains among Oregon’s fastest-growing cities, which has contributed to a housing shortage in recent years. The city doesn’t have enough available housing, particularly for low- and middle-income people, nor does it have adequate shelter space and transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness. Continued population growth makes it harder to shrink those deficits.
“We have to continually be developing in a way that addresses those needs three, four or five years down the road because growth here is not slowing down,” said Bend affordable housing coordinator Racheal Baker. “And the current pandemic hasn’t slowed growth down.”

Bend’s been a liberal craphole for decades. Just a little slice of California.
It would be nice if they built one of these units right next to Bill Gates’ house or Jeff Bezos’. Not gonna happen though.

Yes, indeed. When a city fills up with unproductive people that just can’t manage their lives, let’s make the productive people pay for free everything for the unproductive people. What could go wrong?
Quite a while, I hope.
Trash your communities and the US taxpayer funds will rebuild for you… GRATIS! They are being REWARDED for their looting and destruction

I visited Bend about three years ago. Crazy little town. It is like an affluent suburb of some city was pulled up and planted there. And an airport with about 50 flights a day into it. The residents looked like they were from the state to the south. Lots of people buying hummus in the grocery store.
It was OK about 40 years ago, before the Californians got it. I was last there at the time of the 2017 eclipse, and it was completely horrible. Never again.
New Slums!
“A combined $1.3 million will go toward three developments in Bend...”
I read this: A city official’s architect brother in law was given a contract to propose a 400 unit low cost living facility to the full Council.
