Hacienda CDC

What Hacienda CDC does

Hacienda Community Development Corporation (Hacienda CDC) is a Latino-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1986 in Portland, Oregon's Cully neighborhood. It is recognized as Oregon's largest Latino-led, Latino-serving housing organization, delivering affordable housing, homeownership support, small business development, and youth and family services to low-income and predominantly Latino communities across the Portland metro area and broader Oregon. As of FY25, the organization operates 12 affordable housing communities serving 2,488 residents, has built 971 cumulative housing units since founding, and served 4,019 residents and clients across all programs in a single fiscal year.

Hacienda CDC's core products span four service lines. The affordable housing portfolio includes developments such as Las Adelitas (142 units), Villa de Clara Vista (133 units), Las Flores (171 units in Oregon City), and Villa De Sueños, with rents set for households earning 60% of Area Median Income and below. The Mass Casitas program introduces volumetric mass timber modular construction using Oregon-grown mass timber, prefabricated at Port of Portland's Terminal 2, representing a novel construction architecture for affordable and disaster-relief housing deployment. The Empresarios small business program, anchored at the Portland Mercado food cart pod, provides business advising, bootcamps, mentorship, and commissary kitchen access, launching 19 small businesses in FY25. Youth and family services include Sembrando Semillitas (under age 5), Expresiones (K-8 after-school), SUN Youth Advocacy (grades 6-8), the Camino A Casa homeownership counseling program, and the Richard T. Silver Memorial Scholarship.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring rental income from affordable housing properties (categorized as subscription/recurring), small business program fees and commercial kitchen rentals (professional services), and substantial grant and public funding from state, municipal, regional, and philanthropic sources including a $5 million Oregon Legislature appropriation for Mass Casitas, Portland Housing Bureau bond funds, Metro Regional Affordable Housing Bond, Meyer Memorial Trust, and JPMorgan Chase. Pricing for housing units is income-restricted (e.g., studios at $535-$586/month, one-bedrooms at $628-$654, three-bedrooms at $1,135-$1,754). Distribution occurs through direct property leasing, third-party property management partners (Cascade Management, Guardian Management), the Portland Mercado hub, and community learning centers across the region. The organization is led by CEO Dr. Ernesto Fonseca and governed by an independent board.
