(Portland, OR) -- Construction is underway on a new affordable housing project in East Portland's Jade District. City officials held a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday for The Jade Apartments. The development will offer 40 income-limited homes. Five of those units will be reserved for household earning less than 30-percent of the area's median income. Residents will also receive financial literacy and job training services along with a community garden and access to health programs, transportation and a food pantry.
