Breitung Building

Description

Spearheaded by Do Good Multnomah, developed by NWV Design Build, designed by Ink: Built, and managed by NWV Group, the Robert J Breitung Building is a collaborative effort incorporating 28 project-based VASH vouchers to serve previously homeless Veterans eligible for HUD VASH. The aim of this project is to target eligible Veterans who are over-represented and under-served, particularly those from communities of color and those who have been involuntarily displaced from the community. This exciting new development is extremely well located in NE Portland and has excellent access to transit amid high-frequency bus lines. This project is also centrally located to parks, services, amenities, and is close to downtown Portland.

While on active duty Robert deployed and completed a tour of duty in Korea. Following his service, he co-founded the Southern Tier Chapter of the New York State Amphibious Forces Association.
