Work on the phase two of the housing development is anticipated to be completed in October 2022.

NEF stated that it provided funding for Canal Commons’ two phases through investments backed by Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.

Other investors include City of Bend, Oregon Housing and Community Services and First Interstate Bank.

PCAH co-owner Rob Roy said: “At PCAH, we are committed to creating solutions that allow residents to remain in their communities among families and friends and near their jobs for the long term.

“This is our seventh partnership with NEF and their expertise in leveraging tax credit incentives to fund development has helped us to provide over 300 local affordable housing units in our hometown of Bend.”
