A Safe Haven in Southeast Portland

Over the course of the last two weeks, we’ve been posting on our Facebook page a series of articles about the refugee community’s positive influence on the Rockwood neighborhood in far Southeast Portland.

Portland’s refugee community has helped Barberry Village Apartments become a safe place for families to live. What was once a dilapidated and dangerous place to be is now a great place for children to grow up surrounded by various ethnicities from across the world. On any given day you can find the children of the apartment complex playing soccer while their parents talk in a smattering of languages from Arabic to Somali to Burmese.
