Metro Awarded Collins Foundation Grant - Metropolitan Affordable Housing Corporation (Metro) is the recipient of a $30,000 grant from The Collins Foundation. The $30,000 grant will support operations and capacity building to enhance affordable housing options for low income families in Eugene.

At the end of a one year grant period, Metro will have completed construction of Willakenzie Crossing, adding 56 units of affordable housing to the Eugene/Springfield area. They will also design and deliver meaningful resident services to tenants at Willakenzie Crossing, and the additional 659 households we serve with our resident services program.

The Collins Foundation, an independent private foundation, was created in 1947 by Truman W. Collins and other members of the family of E.S. Collins. The Collins Foundation exists to improve, enrich, and give greater expression to the religious, educational, cultural, and scientific endeavors in the state of Oregon and to assist in improving the quality of life in the state.
