Current Projects
The MMHF is actively working in communities throughout Oregon to find solutions to our housing underproduction crisis. This includes facilitated community workshops to brainstorm solutions and get them moving; national searches for scalable innovations; and supporting groups of employers directly. If your organization or community can benefit from building more workforce housing, please contact us to learn more about our services.
Housing Innovation Village Experience
Missing Middle Housing Fund, in partnership with SEDCOR and the Newberg Workforce Housing Consortium, is producing a first-of-its-kind housing innovation village in Newberg called the Housing Innovation Village Experience (HIVE). The 10-unit cottage cluster represents a new, scalable model for building more attainable homes for workers earning 80-120% of area median income (AMI). Six different innovators will use their building innovations in advanced mass timber, carbon-negative concrete, precision panelized building methods, and automate and off-site construction. The development will also leverage additional innovations in financing and funding; workforce development; and policy reform. HIVE will culminate with a home show and public tour upon completion.
"Let's Build" Workforce Housing Solutions Summits
The MMHF plans, organizes, and facilitates working summits to propose launch plans for real change. Talking heads and panels are not on the agenda. Our day-long summits create collaborative workforce housing solutions and result in task forces to carry the day’s work forward. Let’s Build summits have been held in Newberg, Bend, Portland, and Boardman, Oregon. Contact us to plan the next Let’s Build event in your region.
Workforce Housing Investment Fund
In partnership with the Strategic Economic Development Corporation (SEDCOR), and the Newberg Workforce Housing Consortium (NWHC), the Missing Middle Housing Fund has launched a revolving investment fund to finance predevelopment costs for workforce housing developments that serve Newberg-based employers.
