## Resource

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Nici Stauffer, Senior Associate at Holst Architecture in Portland, Oregon. They discuss the Julia West House in Portland, Oregon. You can see the project here as you listen along. In a city grappling with record rates of houselessness, Portland is advancing some of its most ambitious strategies yet to address its growing humanitarian crisis. Julia West House stands as a transformative example of what Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) can look like when care, culture, and innovation converge, incorporating exposed mass timber and a biophilic interior palette grounded in the ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
