Community History
Las Adelitas is the outcome of a 5+ year community design process that transforms a former vacated lot that was negatively impacting the vitality of Cully into a catalyst development. Aptly named after feminist Mexican revolutionaries, the building brings deep social, economic and environmental benefits to our community.
This outstanding success is the result of a wonderful community vision that started years ago. Community leaders attempted to buy the vacant lot across from our headquarters several times with little success. In 2015, Hacienda, Verde, and Habitat came together to form Living Cully, LLC to buy the property with the support of CRAFT3, Prosper Portland and others. In 2017 Hacienda purchased the entire property to create affordable housing that is so desperately needed.
Las Adelitas will transform a once neglected part of the Cully neighborhood into a community asset. Las Adelitas will create and retain area jobs, provide housing and community spaces, and support economic opportunities to meet the needs of working families and people of color in the Cully neighborhood. Housing built on this site will be available to households earning 60% of Area Median Income and below. Through this effort, Hacienda will ensure that over 400 individuals, including those that are experiencing homelessness, will continue to afford to live in this community.
Las Adelitas
Las Adelitas’ is a name rich with meaning and significance. During the Mexican Revolution many women, who became collectively known as Las Adelitas, took up arms and supported the fight for freedom alongside the men. These women played a variety of roles within the army including camp and medical care, soldier, spy, and some even commanded troops. They traveled with the army throughout the revolution, and unlike the men, they did it all on foot since they were not allowed to ride horseback!
We are especially excited for the opportunity to honor these strong women at this particular site. Las Adelitas remind us that women have always been critical to social change and ongoing struggles for justice and liberty, in spite of the limits placed on them by society and the fact that their contributions are often overlooked by history.
