Daybreak is a 30-unit, multigenerational, cohousing community featuring sustainable design and shared resources for residents. It was named one of the top 10 green cohousing developments in the U.S. by Natural Home magazine in 2009. The project won a Build Local Challenge award for project contractor B+G Builders for use of used FSC-certified material for 100 percent of its framing lumber, plywood and solid wood interior trim. It has received certification from the Energy Trust of Oregon.

Daybreak Cohousing is continuing to recruit new members for the community. Daybreak has one, two and three bedroom units, 12 of which are currently occupied. The eco-friendly facility is accessible for persons with disabilities. The current residents of Daybreak cohousing include individuals who have recently moved from Washington DC, Chicago and Los Angeles to become members.

Daybreak Cohousing is located two blocks from the intersection of N Killingsworth and N Greeley. It is on the #72 bus line, two blocks from the #35 line and is approximately a ten minute walk from the Interstate MAX yellow line.
