The city of Portland revealed nine new affordable housing projects Tuesday, all funded through its first-ever housing affordability bond approved by voters in 2016.

After those nine projects, the city says it still has $45 million of the bond left over.

The bond measure initially pledged $258.4 million for 1,300 units of affordable housing. City officials now say they’ll surpass that estimate. The new housing stock announced Tuesday, combined with two bond-funded buildings that have already opened and one in development, would create a total of 1,424 affordable units.

In addition to promising 1,300 units, Portland had said 650 of them would provide housing suitable for families, 600 would be in the range of a household making less than 30% of the area median income, and 300 would provide housing for disabled people or those experiencing chronic homelessness.

Announcing the new projects Tuesday, Mayor Ted Wheeler said the city now has enough “bond-funded units completed or in progress around the city to meet and in some cases exceed all the goals that were established for the Portland Housing Bond.”

Nine projects will be erected across the city: three are slated for downtown Portland, one in North Portland, and five on the east side. Two of the eastside projects are planned to provide a total more than 130 affordable housing units east of Interstate 205.
