Washington County Converts Hotel to Transitional Housing
8 Jul
Summary
- Former Beaverton DoubleTree to become transitional housing.
- Project offers 75-85 low-barrier units, opening later this year.
- Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers will operate the site.
Washington County is repurposing the former Beaverton DoubleTree hotel at 15402 NW Cornell Road into transitional housing for those experiencing homelessness. This initiative aims to provide "low-barrier" accommodations, with an anticipated opening later this year, although a specific date has not yet been finalized.
The renovated building is expected to house between 75 and 85 individuals. Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers has been selected to operate the facility, ensuring a commitment to maintaining safe and clean grounds, alongside proactive communication with nearby residents. The program will offer extensive support services, including case management, behavioral health and substance use referrals, and employment assistance, with a requirement for residents to maintain a sober lifestyle.
The estimated cost for this project is approximately $28.5 million. While the county seeks community feedback on a "good neighbor agreement" by Friday, some local schools have expressed concerns regarding the chosen location.
