The purchase was made in collaboration between the state, city, Multnomah County and Central City Concern, a nonprofit organization caring for adults and families in the city, according to a Jan. 3 news release from Gov. Tina Kotek’s office.
CCC submitted a bid for the building that was later accepted by the seller, which included $6 million from the Oregon Health Authority, $6.25 million from Multnomah County, $2 million from the city of Portland and $3 million from the nonprofit itself.
Once renovations are completed, the building is expected to offer more than 70 beds for a substance use disorders and behavioral health residential treatment program, in addition to between 30 and 35 transitional housing beds and outpatient services, the release said.
