About Willakenzie Crossing Apartments

In awarding the Willakenzie Crossing project, the City of Eugene recognized the need for this model of housing, noting that the Willakenzie Crossing project “creates a unique opportunity to provide housing for persons with developmental disabilities in close proximity to educational opportunities and other services tailored to their needs.”

SAIL Housing’s primary role at Willakenzie Crossing will be to act as the interface between residents with developmental disabilities and housing management, individual and group services, and available community resources. Visit the links below for local media coverage of this exciting event. We encourage those interested to revisit this website for future news and developments.

Willakenzie Crossing Application Process For DD Applicants

Adults living with developmental disabilities are invited to apply for a 1-bedroom or studio apartment at the Willakenzie Crossing affordable housing apartments located at 3057 Willakenzie Road in Eugene, Oregon. The apartments, developed by our housing partner, Metropolitan Affordable Housing, Corp. (Metro Housing), are scheduled to open in early 2012. The following 2-step process has been established to apply for an apartment:

Step 1: Complete Life Skills Assessment with Case Manager or Personal Agent

Applicants and/or their advocates should contact their county Case Manager (CM) or brokerage Personal Agent (PA) to complete a Life Skills Assessment with them. The life skills assessments are available at:

  • Lane County Developmental Disabilities Services: (541) 682-3123
  • Full Access: (541) 284-5070
  • Mentor Oregon: (541) 345-5151

The CM or PA must make an evaluation and recommend you to SAIL Housing for independent living at Willakenzie Crossing.

The CM or PA will work with the applicant/advocate to evaluate and determine whether they are ready with the basic skills and ability to live in their own apartment with appropriate (paid for and natural) supports known to be available to them.

It is important for families/advocates to understand that a level of personal commitment on their part in providing natural supports at Willakenzie Crossing is expected in this supportive housing model.

Step 2: Complete Pre-Application Forms and Deliver to Property Manager

In addition to completing a Life Skills Assessment described in Step 1, interested applicants/advocates are required to complete two pre-application forms as follows:

  • Section 42 Rental Application (one page)
  • LIHTC Applicant/Tenant Questionnaire (one page)

Pre-application packets are available for pick up from the applicant’s case management agency (Full Access, Mentor Oregon and Lane County Developmental Disabilities Services) or from the property management company, Jennings Property Management (JPM). Applicants/advocates needing help completing these two forms may contact JPM or their Case Manager or Personal Agent.

Completed pre-application forms should be delivered to:

  • Jennings Property Management
  • 488 East 11th Avenue
    • Eugene, OR 97401

  • Phone: (541) 683-2271
  • Business Hours: M-F 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
    (closed 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch)

JPM will maintain a list of applications received in their office and whenever an apartment unit becomes available for rent they will contact the next applicant on the list based on the date/time order in which it was deemed complete.
