Affordable Housing

From July 5-12th, Luke Forelle—an associate in the Affordable group—will attempt to break a world record by running across Iceland to raise funds and awareness for Homes for our Troops (HFOT), a non-profit organization dedicated to building and donating specially-adapted custom homes nationwide for injured veterans. Through July 30th, Related will provide a double match on all employee donations made to HFOT in support of Luke.

Co-developed by Related Northwest and non-profit Central City Concern, Cedar Commons has opened in East Portland, offering permanently-supportive housing to some of the most vulnerable local residents. Central City Concern will also provide residents with on-site services such as mental health services and employment support and training.

With a mission to help millions of young lower- to middle-income Londoners who are essential to the city’s economy, Pocket Living serves locals who cannot afford to buy a market rate home and don’t qualify for traditional affordable housing. Pocket Homes are discounted 20% below market value, and eligible purchasers are defined by their income levels, as well as where they live and work.

West Green Place is Pocket Living's first community in the heart of London’s Haringey neighborhood, featuring 126 homes and a new community center. One of the residents, Kezia, is a clinical psychologist local to Tottenham who has always wanted to live and be connected to the community that she works in.

By embracing modular construction practices, Pocket Living is able to build affordable homes at a faster rate than what’s possible with traditional construction, as well as reducing overall environmental impact and disruption to the surrounding community.

Every Pocket Living development offers residents plenty of opportunities to get to know their neighbors—from move-in welcome parties to shared amenity spaces to management committees that allow residents to determine the future of their buildings.

Cherise never dreamed of owning a house in the heart of London—until she learned about Pocket Living and its focus on helping first-time buyers land the home of their dreams at a discounted rate.

Located in East London steps away from Barking’s town center and convenient transportation options, Harbard Close presents 78 one-bedroom homes only available for first-time homeowners. The development prides itself on enhanced sustainability features, helping residents lower their utility bills and reduce their environmental footprint.
