NeighborWorks Umpqua is preparing to build a new housing development to help ease the housing shortage in southern Oregon.
Deer Creek Village is the latest development project that organizers say will improve life in the area through services in housing, finance and community.
The development is expected to bring new rental housing options to Roseburg, and provide housing for Veterans, people who live with disabilities, and low income individuals who cannot afford housing elsewhere.
The 68-unit project will be developed at a site on Douglas Avenue east of the Eastwood Park.  The site was generously donated to NeighborWorks Umpqua by Rose and Robert Rothstein in 2015.
Deer Creek Village will be the first significant multifamily project to be built in Roseburg since NeighborWorks Umpqua’s previous Veteran housing project in 2013.
Construction is set to begin before the end of the year.
A groundbreaking will be held at the site on August 29^th at 11:00 a.m.
