Villebois Community Housing Featured in The Oregonian

Oregon’s leading newspaper, The Oregonian, recently featured the Villebois community in Wilsonville in an article promoting the official opening of the Rain Garden Apartments, a 29-unit housing complex for adults with mental illness in the Villebois neighborhood.

The Rain Garden Apartments, along with two group homes and two apartment complexes for adults with mental illness, sits in the award-winning "urban village". According to experts, Villebois is the first community in the country where community housing has been incorporated into a larger master-planned community from its inception. The integration of community housing for people with disabilities in a state-of-the-art neighborhood like Villebois puts Oregon on the map when it comes to having the most progressive model of community living.

At Villebois, community housing consists of homes where residents live "family-style" with assistance from on-site staff, and apartments where residents enjoy a greater level of independence in a supportive environment. All of the community housing at Villebois is consistent with the design and size of surrounding properties, and adheres to Homeowner Association standards for architecture and permitted uses.
