Mariposa Village Breaks Ground
Community housing partners gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of Mariposa Village on May 30th. The 130-unit Mariposa Village will be the largest influx of new affordable rental housing to Hood River since 2011. Mariposa Village will serve households earning up to 60 percent of the area median income (AMI), which for a four-person household in Hood River County is $64,140. Community Development Partners (CDP) and local non-profit Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation are co-developers of Mariposa Village. The land was donated by the City of Hood River.
“There’s been a lot of displacement that’s happened over the years. Many people who were born and raised in Hood River, and who work full-time to make our community run and make it such a nice place to live, can no longer afford to live here. What’s exciting about Mariposa Village is that it will provide a way for many of them to move back,” said Karen Long, executive director of CCHC.
This development is scheduled to open in two phases starting in the summer of 2026, and will cover seven acres. It will feature seven buildings with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes, amid abundant trees and green space. In a central community building, CCHC will provide “Community for All Ages” programming designed to foster connections between children, adults, and seniors. Mariposa Village will also include a public park with a playground, walking paths, and landscape designed to protect on-site wetlands. The development also includes the extension of two trails that connect to the city’s trail network. The development is named after the Monterey Mariposa Lily — a native Oregon wetland species — and inspired by the Spanish word for butterfly.
