POIC

Last summer, our Impact Partner Albina Vision Trust (AVT) opened Albina One, a 94-unit family-centered housing development in Lower Albina. AVT recently posted a video on its YouTube channel celebrating this building and what it means to the community it supports. One of our other Impact Partners, the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center (POIC), is also a partner in this work, supporting Albina One residents with culturally specific education, mentoring, family outreach, employment training, and career placement services for Black and other people of color households. Albina One is the first AVT development in the district, with more to come, and the organization has just secured $15 million in a major investment from the Meyer Memorial Trust.

Additionally, POIC has recently published their 2025 Impact Report, highlighting their major accomplishments in supporting more than 3,000 people through their education, employment, family and wellness, and community safety programs.
