PHC Deputy Director Felicia Tripp said the partnership is a valuable new addition, "our corporate partners help ensure that we are able to continue offering quality education, counseling and financial assistance to the more than 1,000 individuals and families that come through our doors each year. We couldn't do it without them."

 

Miles Rusth of Summit Mortgage had this to say about the partnership "as a native Oregonian and Partner at Summit Mortgage for 13 years, I feel that the best way to help stabilize the Portland real estate market is by partnering with programs like Portland Housing.  They have a proven system that works.  Whether it be through education or down payment assistance, they truly take the time and care about whether or not a borrower can make the monthly payments. In turn, my yearly contribution will be utilized to keep this service available to low-income first time home buyers.  I view this partnership as a responsible & necessary action."
 
We at the Portland Housing Center look forward to working with Miles and his team to assist first-time homebuyers!
