Willet Apartments
Willet Apartments is a 46-unit development that will be located in the heart of Tillamook, Oregon. The mix of 1 and 2 bedroom units affordable to renters earning at or below 30% and 60% of area median income (AMI) will address the local housing crisis. Eight units will have project-based rent assistance provided by the local housing authority, Northwest Oregon Housing Authority. Five units will be dedicated to residents with mental health and/or addiction issues through a partnership with the Tillamook Family Counseling Center.
Willet Apartments is developed in partnership with Home First Development. The building will achieve green building standards comparable to Earth Advantage Gold. Future residents will benefit from resident services provided by CARE Inc., a culturally responsive organization. The planned 810 SF community room will support resident service delivery and promote community building. The project site is centrally located in downtown Tillamook, allowing residents convenient access to grocery stores, public transportation, restaurants, retail shops, and parks.
The project is financed with Local Innovation Fast Track (LIFT) funds, 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Columbia Pacific Care Oregon Grant, construction and permanent debt, OHCS Multifamily Energy Program funds (OR-MEP), and Project-Based Vouchers.
