Thunderbird Apartments was recapitalized and rehabilitated in 2005 using resources provided by Oregon Housing and Community Services. Renovations included a major overhaul of the building exteriors, stairs and walkways, new windows, unit interiors, and accessibility and significant energy-efficiency improvements. With the affordability restrictions extended and secure, Thunderbird Apartments offers families in Union County at 50% or below the area median income one, two, and three-bedroom updated housing units (all with rental assistance) as well as on-site laundry facilities, playground, off-street parking, and attractive curb appeal, all conveniently located near shopping, dining, and public transportation options.

In 2019, rooftop solar systems were installed through a partnership with Fleet Development (www.fleetdevelopment.org) which will eventually reduce residential and operational usage by 40-95%.
