Portland Collective Housing(PCH) is a non-profit low
income housing corporation. PCH is directly controlled by it's tenant/members.
PCH owns two houses one in North Portland and one in South East
Portland.
PCH grew out of a dissatisfaction of our lot as renters.
We never liked the fact that our rents are large enough to pay for
our houses, but, because we are not each of us wealthy enough to
scrape together a downpayment, we are forced to buy our homes for
our landlords. Before we organized as PCH we did not control the
conditions of our housing. We had no say in this vital area of our
lives. So we organized.
Because rent is a ripoff.
We are a volunteer/member run non-profit organization
and thus can always use assistance ranging from fundraising (includes
loans as well as donations) to donation of time, professional or
not. We are always looking to assist people who are committed towards
communal living to purchase their homes.
PCH owns two houses; the 25TH Street house
and the Mississippi house.
