Over the past six months, LEVER has been collaborating with Home Forward, community members, and current residents on the design and redevelopment of Dekum Court. The affordable housing development encompasses 5.3 acres in Portland’s Concordia neighborhood, and will provide 190 units to residents earning at or below 60% of the median family income.

The redevelopment aims to strengthen the Dekum community by preserving the existing neighborhood’s character and amenities while creating strong pedestrian connections, abundant access to shared outdoor spaces, and comfortable, healthy, light-filled environments for residents.
