David's House
David’s
House is a residential care facility for individuals who are victims of
traumatic brain injuries. The facility will have seven SRO units, a
central kitchen and a dining area with a common space for relaxation.
The
goal of David’s House is to assist residents in moving from their
acquired disability to full independence through rehabilitation.
Eventually, the residents will move through a transition into
alternative and independent housing. The importance of this type of
facility can be seen by the discussion of social service and mental
health professionals in Douglas County about the lack of services for
Traumatic Brain Injury adults in Douglas County.
Construction is well under way and the project is anticipated to be
completed in May, 2008. |

Gold Coast Apartments
The Gold
Coast Apartments are located in Port Orford and Gold Beach, Oregon. The
purpose of the project is to provide workforce housing for low to
moderate income residents in Curry County. The Curry County
Commissioners donated the land to Umpqua CDC because they recognized
the need for this type of housing in the area. When completed, the Gold
Coast project will consist of eight units (some having an ocean view)
and will feature many “green” building techniques, such as photovoltaic
panels and radiant-floor heating.
Construction is set to begin on these properties in October of this
year and will be completed by June of 2008. |
Location of Gold Coast Apts. |

Hotel North Bend
The Hotel
North Bend, a five-story structure built in 1921, was used as a hotel
until the 1960’s. Since the 60’s, some of the rooms have been rented as
housing, but are very small units and have minimal amenities. Umpqua CDC
will renovate the building, which, when finished, will provide 33
affordable housing units. Some of the funding from this project comes
from Historic Tax Credits, which promotes the preservation of historic
sites throughout Oregon.
The City
of North Bend is very supportive of the project, and thinks it could be
a catalyst to spur further economic development in the downtown area.
Construction to complete in May 2009. |

serve the developmentally disabled population of Douglas County.
