In partnership with Centro Cultural, located in the heart of the Central Eastside of Portland, Alder 9 will be a 159-unit community for low-income seniors and intergenerational families at 30% and 60% Area Media Income. 25 units will be set aside for Permanent Supportive Housing intended to serve those who are houseless or at-risk of houselessness, and there will be 42 family-sized units.

The nine-story development will include a ground floor senior wellness center complete with social and activity spaces, including a fitness/movement room and case management offices. There will be plenty of places for residents to gather and connect, including a community garden and courtyard. Alder 9 will be a community hub, providing a home for community-based organizations to offer essential services to the residents. Centro Cultural will operate the Employment and Education Mobility Hub and provide culturally and linguistically relevant educational and employment services. Impact Northwest will provide wraparound services to the 25 units of permanent supportive housing, and EngAGE NW will offer a host of senior services and arts programming at the ground floor arts center.
