Hayu Tilixam, meaning Many Nations in the Chinook language, will create 50 new affordable housing units within the Cully neighborhood, an area of growing density and pedestrian activity, near the intersection of NE Prescott Street and NE Cully Boulevard. Community Development Partners (CDP) and the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) will jointly develop and own the project, which will replace the site’s vacant single-family home. NAYA and the Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA) will partner to provide services to all residents, including the nine units that will be designated as permanent supportive housing.
Hayu Tilixam is designed by and for low-income, Native American and BIPOC families. The project, located at 5827 NE Prescott, will provide critical housing and wraparound services for thousands of our most vulnerable community members.
The project will be four stories with a ground floor podium and three wood-framed upper floors. Active ground floor uses will include community/resident spaces programmed with support services, a lobby with prominent Native American art, a small meeting room, as well as outdoor courtyard/green space. The design team is using trauma-informed design principles to shape the building spaces, colors and materials.
