Hendricks Place Apartments is an award winning 8-unit apartment project dedicated to independent living
for adult tenants with developmental disabilities. The project was developed in contextual scale with the
existing mixed historical neighborhood. Families United for Independent Living is the non-profit group
that initiated the project with their vision and pooled their personal resources to purchase the property.
The original previous house on the property was in poor condition when it was designated as an
historic resource for the city of McMinnville in 1984 and had not been maintained so the historical
designation was removed, essentially demolition through neglect.
The Housing Authority of Yamhill County became engaged as project developer and owner, and sponsored
a successful CFC (Consolidated Funding Cycle) application. The project site had appropriate multi-family
zoning, but a parking variance was applied for and granted because most tenants do not drive. There are
two off-street parking spaces provided, with one adequate for a large wheelchair van.
Owner: Housing Authority of Yamhill County.
General Contractor: Tom Doran Construction built the project.
