PROPERTY OVERVIEW
The Woodbury will provide 51 affordable homes for adults aged 55 and older in Portland's Woodfords Corner neighborhood. As part of the broader redevelopment of the historic Woodfords Congregational Church campus, the four-story, elevator-served community will offer a range of amenities designed to support connection, convenience, and well-being, including gathering spaces, a library, bike storage, laundry facilities, telemedicine capabilities, and on-site parking.
Located in a walkable neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, community resources, shopping, dining, and other local amenities, The Woodbury will help residents remain connected to the broader Portland community while supporting aging in place.
Its thoughtful design, energy-efficient construction, and resident-focused amenities reflect CHOM's commitment to creating high-quality affordable housing that strengthens communities and supports long-term well-being.
More than affordable housing, The Woodbury is designed to create a welcoming, accessible place where older adults can live, connect, and thrive.
