Congratulations to Salem Housing Authority on the Groundbreaking for Yaquina Hall!

The 50,892 SF, three-story brick building, located at the Oregon State Hospital North Campus, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and served as a nurses’ dorm from 1947 until 1971. Several unique historic features will be preserved and enhanced. Yaquina Hall will be paired with an existing apartment renovation called Southfair Apartments. Supportive services will be administered by the Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency which connects individuals experiencing homelessness to mental health, substance abuse and housing services. Twenty of the units will be reserved for individuals needing permanent supportive housing.
