Red House

The Red House is a residential structure in Portland's Humboldt neighborhood that became central to housing and justice discussions. The building sits on North Mississippi Street with undeveloped land adjacent to it.

The property belonged to the Kinney family for decades before financial difficulties led to foreclosure proceedings. The events between 2018 and 2023 brought the house into a national conversation about housing.

The house became a symbol of struggle for housing justice and community resistance in Portland. Its walls represent the collective effort of neighbors who fought together for fair housing rights.

The house is visible from the street and sits in a residential, accessible part of the neighborhood. Visitors should remember this is a private residential property and should be viewed from a distance.

The community organized an occupation to prevent eviction from taking place. This action drew attention from people across the country interested in similar housing struggles.
