HOPE VI UPDATE

After a year of intensive planning and preparation, HACC staff successfully submitted a HOPE VI Grant Application to HUD ( Department of Housing and Urban Development) to revitalize Clackamas Heights, a public housing community in Oregon City owned and operated by HACC. The application submitted on November 20th, 2010, was the result of a multi-organizational effort involving community partners, residents, consultant and HACC staff to assemble a compelling vision for the future of Clackamas Heights. HACC requested $21.5 million in funding from the HOPE VI program to help fund the proposed $88.3 million dollar revitalization project.

Master Plan Background

HACC contracted with Mithun out of Seattle, a national leader in sustainable design and urbanism since 1949. Mithun brings comprehensive experience with planning and design services for HOPE VI redevelopments, working with public housing authorities, sustainable design, low-impact development, and facilitation of community and stakeholder engagement processes.

Unique to Mithun's approach is the CulturalAudit™, a methodology of documentation and rigor that uses interview, survey, and in-depth market analysis to provide a contextual community “snapshot”.
