From Pacific Crest Affordable Housing:
We would like to introduce a few community members who qualify to be tenants of the proposed affordable housing units in NorthWest Crossing. The following profiles are of people who currently live in Bend; they fall within the appropriate income range, are not full-time students, and could be interested in living in NWX. As current and vital members of the Bend community, they not only participate in – but also contribute invaluably to – outdoor recreation, a vibrant restaurant scene, local youth development, and cultural and arts initiatives – all of the aspects of our city that make Bend such an exceptional place to live.
