What is the Jade?

In 2011, Prosper Portland selected the Jade District as one of 6 Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative (NPI) districts. While first being housed by the 82nd Avenue of Roses Business Association, it was later adopted by the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO). The Jade District is a program of APANO that focuses on community development work in the neighborhood around Southeast 82nd Avenue and Division Street. We take a comprehensive approach to helping the neighborhood develop without displacing the residents and businesses in the neighborhood.

Our neighborhood includes one of the most diverse census tracts in the State of Oregon, with a population comprised of a majority of people of color.

Currently, the Jade District is a place-based, community building and economic development program of the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) Communities United Fund focused on improving the ten block area radius surrounding Southeast 82nd Ave and Southeast Division Street.

Ensuring that the homes in the Jade District will be affordable and accessible for our residents to have a stable home as the area develops, grows and changes.
