People emerging from homelessness in Portland, Ore., have a new housing option.

Transition Projects has announced the completion of Argyle Gardens, which features 72 units of deeply affordable housing for low-income Portlanders as well as formerly homeless individuals. Located in North Portland, the project was designed by Portland firm Holst Architecture, who named their development approach Low Income Single Adult Housing, or LISAH. Argyle Gardens was conceived with the needs of low-income renters—including students and entry-level workers—as well as single adults in or nearing retirement.

Already, more than half of the units have been leased and programming has begun with those residents.
