About

Williams and Russell CDC strives to create a legacy of economic prosperity, cultural preservation, and social cohesion. We ensure that future generations can thrive in a supportive and flourishing environment and provide an economic development template for how governments, organizations, and communities can come together to right past wrongs. Our vision is to create a vibrant and diverse community where affordable housing options are abundant, homeownership is attainable, and minority-owned businesses flourish.

Williams & Russell Project aims to honor and enrich Portland’s displaced community, create wealth, and promote a healthier economy by providing affordable rental apartments and homeownership as well as business opportunities for the community, especially those whose families were impacted by the displacement.
