When the Allen Temple Food Bank needed a new home, it found one in a building PCRI owns in North Portland. The doors opened again, the shelves filled up, and the work continued without missing a beat.

Walk in on a Wednesday or Saturday morning and the first thing you get is a smile. Guests take what they actually need, with no rationing and no lecture. Ask the team what they are proudest of and the answer is not a number, it is that they are simply there, and that no one who walks through the door is judged for needing help. Open Wednesdays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed the first Wednesday and Saturday of each month, at 6717 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. All are welcome.

PCRI staff spent time this week studying the history behind Fair Housing law, guided by a longtime trainer from the Fair Housing Council of Oregon. The training covered past lawsuits that shaped the law, and what landlords are responsible for when it comes to protecting tenants. Staff also discussed how housing discrimination has shown up in Portland's own history, and how those patterns still shape the work today. The training left staff with a clearer picture of the rules that guide every decision PCRI makes about tenants. Questions came up throughout the session, many centered on how to put residents' interests first in day to day decisions.

Neighbors, the playground at Maya Angelou Apartments and Albina Head Start is 30 years old. It wasn't built for the age range of kids who use it today, and it's overdue for a real fix.

That fix is coming. PCRI was selected for a Community Impact Grant to replace it. The plan includes new play equipment, safer surfacing, fencing, landscaping, and seating for families to gather.

This spot has served generations of kids in North and Northeast Portland. Soon it will serve them better.

The project is in the planning stage now, with completion expected this fall.

Neighbors, come spend the day with us on August 1 for Homebuying 101. We'll walk through the whole home buying process together, from start to finish, and it counts toward the education requirement for most down payment assistance and IDA programs. It runs from 9 AM to 5 PM.

Then on August 5, join us for Budgeting for the Holidays. We'll talk through creative ways to enjoy the season with the people you love, without losing sight of your financial goals. This one runs from 5:30 to 7 PM.

PCRI manages over 350 single-family homes across Portland. Staying effective for those families means more than good programs. It means running a strong organization.
This week, Executive Director Kymberly Horner and our Grants Coordinator Meagan are attending the HomeFree-USA Affiliate Leaders Academy virtually. Sessions cover financial management, scaling operations responsibly, and developing strategic partnerships that extend what an organization can do.
That kind of capacity work is what lets PCRI keep doing the mission.

To our neighbors thinking about buying a home, we've got two workshops for you this month. On July 15, come learn what it really takes to go from pre-approval to closing at Real(tor) Talk.

Using grant funding from the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF), we completed a deep energy retrofit at one of our single-family homes in Portland's Piedmont neighborhood. Through a combination of upgraded insulation, improved ventilation, and the installation of a high-efficiency electric heat pump, the home achieved a 58% reduction in energy usage. These improvements are expected to save the resident an estimated $256 annually on utility costs while increasing the home's comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
