Why Is This Important?

The number of housing units built or in progress that get Housing Bureau or Prosper Portland financial help through direct and indirect subsidies is important because it shows how much the City is working to make housing more affordable. A higher number of financially supported units means more help for people who are having trouble affording a home. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines affordable housing as housing with monthly costs, including utilities other than telephone, that do not exceed 30% of a household's monthly income.

What Do The Numbers Show?

The number of units produced and in progress receiving financial subsidies increased in FY 2023-24 and declined to 2,859 units in FY 2025-26. This is due to several factors, including the size and complexity of projects under construction. Housing projects typically take 12 to 18 months to reach completion.

How Did We Arrive at These Numbers?
