They found that the N/NE Preference Policy contributes to community well-being, but the lived experience within affordable housing developments can significantly diminish well-being. A holistic community development strategy that attends to neighborhood safety, equity, and affordability is necessary to meet the broader goals of advancing racial reparation and equity in N/NE Portland.
