Operation H.O.M.E.In partnership with the City of Portland, PDC is committed to providing homeownership opportunities to more people.

In 2005, we combined efforts to create Operation H.O.M.E. to support Portland communities working together to close the minority homeownership gap. This community planning process will create the 'blue prints' for both agencies and the broader community through 2015.
