Our Leadership A message from Jim Moorefield, Board of Directors Chair
Oregon ON was formed in July 2008 as the result of the merger of Oregon’s two community development associations, the Association of Oregon Community Development Organizations and the Community Development Network. The merger happened because it was clear then - and is even clearer now - that community development organizations in Oregon must support one another, and speak with one voice, if we are to be effective in securing the future of our industry and helping those people and communities we exist to serve.
Oregon ON is almost four years old, but we’ve accomplished more than I could have hoped for when we got started. I’m especially proud and grateful for all the ways that Oregon ON provides opportunities for us to work together as an industry. Our attention to best practices, peer support and training, leadership development, and our advocacy in City Hall and in Salem – these are all things that have significantly expanded our effectiveness as a network of community development organizations. Thank you to everyone – member organizations, donors and funders - who are working to make Oregon ON a success!
A message from John Miller, Executive Director Many of us have heard of the curse, “May you live in interesting times.” Certainly these past few years have been anything but uneventful, but I would not go as far as to say that we have been cursed. At Oregon ON, the recession has surely caused some self-reflection amongst our members, and it has created several opportunities for us to take a hard look at what we do and why we do it. At Oregon ON we recognized that we are all in this together, so we expanded our voting membership to include housing authorities and community action agencies.
We now represent a more unified voice for issues in Oregon, and that has led to discussions that are more fruitful with our public partners.
Financially, Oregon ON is relatively stable thanks to increased membership numbers, successful annual events and contracts for services with both the City of Portland and the State. We are glad to add value to the efforts of our members and we continue to seek new opportunities to help.
We have launched an Industry Sustainability Initiative with a goal of helping projects, organizations and the statewide housing industry become more self-supporting into the future. Look for a description of our initiative in this report.
These interesting times have motivated us in many ways, and Oregon ON is gearing up for more interesting times ahead. I look forward to working closely with all of our partners as we strive to make things just a little more predictable, and maybe even a little less “interesting,” in the years ahead.

Our AccomplishmentsIndustry Support Program
With two conferences in Portland and Corvallis (which have seen a 50% increase in attendance), and 39 trainings for the members of our seven practitioner-based Working Groups, our Industry Support Program continues to be a great success. Participation, particularly from rural members, is increasing and becoming more diverse due to our adoption in 2011 of long distance communication technologies such as video conferencing and
webinars, including our first Board training webcast, “Powering Up Financial Oversight.” Over 90% of participants continue to report that they learned new skills and increased knowledge they can use to improve their jobs.
Gala Event Our Gala in 2011 was attended by 470 people, our biggest event ever. We netted $54,000, which helped us hire a lobbyist to represent our interests in Salem and support our core programs. Seven worthy member organizations received awards, including our inaugural “Strides for Equity Award,” created by the Oregon ON Board of Directors in recognition of the many different ways our members across the State are trying to make their communities more equitable.
Forums In 2011 we revamped and re-launched our Public Forums, including a sold-out Forum on Fair Housing held in association with Metro Multifamily Association in November, and a successful Portland Mayoral Candidates’ Forum in December, which drew 180 attendees.
Expanded Membership In 2011, believing our industry will only benefit from a larger and more representative membership, Oregon ON’s Board voted to enable public housing authorities and community action programs to become Voting Members. In 2011 Oregon ON significantly increased its strength by welcoming seven new Voting Members, including: Home Forward in Portland, Housing Authority of Jackson County in Medford, Housing Authority of Washington County in Hillsboro, Housing Authority of Clackamas County in Oregon City, Community Home Builders in McMinnville, Rural Community Assistance Corporation in Gold Beach, and NeighborImpact in Redmond.
Industry Sustainability Initiative In recognition that many affordable housing providers across the State of Oregon have been negatively affected by the challenges of the recession, Oregon ON and key industry partners propose the Industry Sustainability Initiative.
Through this three-year initiative, Oregon ON proposes to equip Oregon’s affordable housing and community development organizations and practitioners to successfully navigate the new economic realities that are impacting their work. Beneficiaries of this program would be, directly, Oregon’s
50+ community development, affordable housing and housing authority members, and ultimately, the communities and more than 40,000 low- and moderate- income Oregonians whom they serve.
This work will result in healthy affordable housing projects that are durable and have sufficient cash flow to cover costs and reserves; organizations that have well-trained staff who follow industry established best practices as well as informed and active boards of directors; an industry that consistently meets the needs of the people it serves throughout the state; and well-informed legislators and government employees who work cooperatively to solve the affordable housing dilemma in Oregon.
The Future
Our AccomplishmentsLegislative Success
Oregon ON members and staff were active in the 2011 State legislative session and with the Housing Alliance.
The number of congressional members Oregon ON met with to support and ensure passage of legislation introduced by the Housing Alliance which extends the sunset of the nonprofit property tax exemption.
The amount of funds Oregon ON and its allies helped to protect for housing preservation through a late session reversal. Legislators also committed to seeking an additional $5 million in 2012, if revenues become available.
The number of direct legislative meetings Oregon ON led or participated in to ensure passage of the Oregon Affordable Housing Tax Credit, one of only 13 tax credits (out of 33) that passed.
Oregon ON was also actively involved in farmworker housing legislation and protecting tenants in foreclosure.

MISSION
Cascadia's mission remains to create hope and opportunity for people with mental illnesses and addictions,
blending innovation and determination with competence and compassion. Cascadia provides a critical safety net
for approximately 12,000 people each year who are struggling with serious mental illness, addictions, and who as a
community are disproportionately impacted by physical health issues, poverty and homelessness. We pride
ourselves in our ability and willingness to serve those who experience the most barriers and challenges to
recovery. We realize that in order to equip our clients with skills and resources to live independently in the
community, we must ensure that they have access to the full variety of services they may require to maintain
personal stability. Our services include a continuum of crisis intervention, a range of residential treatment,
supportive housing and homeless services, and housing, mental health and addictions outpatient services, forensic
services, medical services, and affordable housing development. We manage 42 properties with 625 units of
housing for people with disabilities.
Cascadia is focusing on the development of the following key initiatives in 2012 and beyond:
*Provision of affordable housing and social supports
*Integration of care -- mental health, addictions, and primary health
*Improving race relations and culturally competent services
*Effective Recovery-oriented and Trauma-informed clinical services
*Prominent consumer involvement
*Fiscal stewardship
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Multnomah released an RFP for their adult mental health system resulting in a 130 page Cascadia proposal. In response, Cascadia continues to provide the greatest range of services in Multnomah County.
The year has been one of extensive collaboration with OSHU; specifically in coordination with our neighbor, the Richmond Clinic, which is a primary care center near our Plaza Clinic at 43
rd and Division. We continue to
explore the integration of primary care and behavioral health services with them.
We opened our second crisis respite clinic, located in Oregon City and serving Clackamas county citizens.
We opened our fourth full services community mental health clinic located in Milwaukie, Oregon. This followed a successful RFP response that qualified the agency to provide a wide range of community mental health services in Clackamas County.
We were active in the 2010/11 legislature in areas such as PSRB and HB 3650, the Healthcare Transformation bill.
Two Cascadians, Meghan Caughey and Maggie Bennington-Davis served on two governor-appointed work committees of the Oregon Health Authority Transformation planning.
For the first time since 2007, about one third of Cascadia employees received a salary increase. This positively affected 230 employees. We are actively working on the next phase of salary increases for other employees.
Cascadia established its first Senior Director of Peer and Wellness Services. The highly accomplished and respected peer advocate and educator, Megan Caughey, MA, MFA, joined Cascadia in July.
Cascadia just graduated our first class of Peer Wellness Specialists. These 13 trained professionals are now able to be certified by the State of Oregon to provide services.
32 Voting Members
NW Health Foundation’s Kaiser Community Fund awarded Cascadia a grant for $200,000, which will assist in the development of a robust Cascadia Peer Wellness program.
Cascadia continues to guide the Steering Committee for a nationwide Performance Improvement Project spearheaded by the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, intended to facilitate system change to reduce the need for police contact with persons in mental health crises.
Cascadia presented at two workshops at the 2011 National Council of Community Mental Health Centers conference. .
Also at the 2011 National Council conference, Derald Walker received an award for Visionary Leadership; The very same week, Cascadia’s CFO, Beth Barker, received the Portland Business Journal’s CFO of the year award for non-profit!
Cascadia had a very large turnout in May for the NAMI Walk; one of the largest groups participating.
Cascadia launched Inside Cascadia; an internal online information source for Cascadia staff including news, program information, helpful documents and more to bring all of Cascadia staff members closer together.
Housing Services at Cascadia experienced many transformations this year. The Housing Board worked throughout the year to develop new bylaws that redefine the very important relationship between Cascadia’s invaluable Housing Services and Clinical Services.
The Housing Division itself restructured to better integrate the full continuum of services that Cascadia provides related either directly or indirectly to the importance of having a home for those we serve. We now have services to those that are homeless closely aligned with our other important services. Next to Central City Concern, Cascadia is the largest provider of homeless services and first in providing services to those suffering from mental illness while being homeless.
Key staff from Cascadia’s Housing Department completed a 2 year training series “Asset Management & Preservation Program” (AMPP) sponsored by the Housing Development Center.
Cascadia hosted its Second Annual Minority Mental Health Summit last summer. Drs. Ted Corbin and John Rich presented. They presented on Healing Hurt People. This has been followed up by monthly diversity caucuses.
Cascadia continues to demonstrate excellence in its financial and business systems infrastructures; Moss Adams completed an unqualified audit for 2010 and Multnomah County’s financial review findings that resulted in the highest scores possible on all categories.
Multnomah County conducted an audit that focused on the clinical programs and evaluates their quality. This year we received very high marks that led to a three-year license, the longest licensing period the organization can obtain, thanks to the excellent Quality Department guidance and oversight coupled with staff documentation efforts.
We had a busy year working in partnership with the Portland Police Bureau that included the joint staffing of the Mobile Crisis Unit.
This year we began a program housed at our Garlington Center that serves at risk African American children and youth. The kids are identified to be at risk of out-of-home placement into foster care.
Information Technology (IT) hired a new director who’s been making Cascadia’s backend systems more robust and secure.
And last but not least:
Cascadia finished its 12 month budget year on June 30, 2011 with a $4.5 million dollar surplus. This is largely due to the amazing work done in our residential division, increased productivity in outpatient program, and with hard work and attention to the multitude of details of both financial and clinical operations. The surplus allowed us to pay off the Meyer loan, and pay down our loan from Multnomah County, thereby reducing the overall debt of the organization.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Participation in the Oregon Health Care Transformation process.
Expansion of our Crisis Services system. This will likely include a 24-hour clinic with integrated primary and behavioral health care provided as an alternative to the current hospital emergency department.
33 Voting Members
Expansion of crisis and clinical outpatient services in Clackamas County.
Focus internally on making Cascadia one of the best companies to work for through WE, Cascadia! (Workplace Excellence, Cascadia!). This initiative will be gathering information about the improvements that staff would like to see in the Cascadia workplace. This will result in concrete action plans to achieve what is possible. In addition to this, there will be a continued emphasis on salary assessments and improvements.
We look forward to resuming housing development activities in both Multnomah and Clackamas. Cascadia received an award from the State to develop a Residential Treatment Home for young adults in transition in Multnomah County. Clackamas County has also awarded a services contract for 2 Residential Treatment Facilities.
Continued improvements in our clinical services programs. As health care transformation increasingly focuses on outcome, we will continue to shape our programs to ensure the best possible services for Cascadia clients.
Wellness and Peer Services. We are eager to expand our peer work force and focus both staff and clients on wellness.
Continued focus on Finances. Cascadia will continue the excellent track record of financial stewardship that has been established over the past 2-3 years. This initiative will also focus on retiring outstanding debt.
Continued expansion of Supported Housing Program models, with Clinton Street Apartments and a collaboration with Multnomah County’s “Adult Mental Health Initiative” (AMHI).
Strategic alignment of Housing with Cascadia’s Homeless Services to increase the focus on housing people with mental illness who are homeless.

Our Mission: To invest in individuals, families, and rural communities by developing ownership, equity, and skills.
WHO WE SERVE
Community Home Builders (formerly Yamhill Community Development Corporation) is a private non-profit that
has been building homes and investing in rural communities for twenty years. Our organization partners with
families and individuals, helping them build their own homes, achieve long-term stability and learn valuable skills
aiding in long-term home maintenance.
The heart of our organization is the Mutual Self-Help Housing Program. Here, 8-12 families team together to help
build each others’ homes. Once complete, the families own their homes and have earned sweat equity along the
way! This program is perfect for low and moderate income families, with mortgages that adjust with income levels.
In addition to the Mutual Self-Help Program, CHB owns and manages farm-worker housing apartments and
operates an array of savings and educational programs aimed at helping families find their way into affordable,
stable, long-term housing.

median income, with many units servicing incomes at or below 30 percent of area median income ($20,350
annually for a family of four). Residents of CPAH housing are very culturally diverse, with about half of all residents
belonging to a minority group. Just over 50 percent of families are single women with children.

MISSION
Recognizing the vital contribution of farmworkers to our economy, the mission of FHDC is to develop farmworker
leadership for stronger and more secure families and communities through affordable housing, social services,
education, and economic development. The mission is carried out by pursuing the following goals:
To develop and manage affordable housing located within Urban Growth Boundaries
To provide social and educational services that promote personal and economic self-sufficiency
To include farmworkers in decision-making and ongoing project management
To develop and support the leadership of farmworkers within the larger community
To build and strengthen community partnership
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In 1992 FHDC started the development of our first housing project, Nuevo Amanecer, amid fierce opposition of some community leaders who preferred to see farmworkers segregated in labor camps. We opened our doors to 50 families in 1994. In 1998 we completed the construction of Nuevo Amanecer

Phase II, adding 40 more apartments. Nuevo Amanecer now houses a large community of 90 farmworker families, roughly 500 individuals.
In 1995 FHDC started the development of a second housing project in downtown Woodburn, long the heart of the Latino farmworker community. It took the mobilization of farmworkers and residents who testified at public hearings for the site plan approval of Esperanza Court, a complex of 12 two-bedroom units. Esperanza Court opened in 1997.
In 2001 construction of 6single family homes (Villa del Sol) on one acre of land within the Woodburn urban growth boundary was completed. These attractive and spacious three bedroom, two bath homes were sold to farmworkers for below market-rates.
In 2003 FHDC began construction of the first farmworker housing project to be built in Salem. This new community, Colonia Libertad, opened in June, 2005 and provides a home to 48 farmworker families.

With the acquisition of Summerset Village and Westside in 2007, FHDC now provides housing to approximately 900-1000 residents. Our rapid growth has given us the opportunity to also improve our organizational capacity. FHDC is currently in the process of completing our goal of establishing an Asset Management Department and creating an Asset Manager position.
FHDC was awarded a Frederick P. Rose Architectural Fellowship by Enterprise Community Partners.
Successful after school programs at all sites has led FHDC to achieve a 99% high school graduation rate among its youth residents.
For the past three years FHDC and three other community development corporations have been working together with the intent of creating a homeownership center which would serve the residents of Marion and Polk County. In February of 2008, the Homeownership Center began full operations and is offering home buyer education, financial management skills, and other services to a diverse population, the majority of whom are low-income. FHDC has been instrumental in the creation of the homeownership center by providing strategic planning and grant writing assistance.

adversity. In addition to its apartments, Home Forward provides a variety of types of rent assistance, including

promoted economic opportunity, supported a range of community initiatives, embarked on an effort to

community partners on behalf of priority populations, cultivate partnerships for the delivery of services that
extend beyond Home Forward’s core resident services, strengthen relationships with its residents and program
participants, and leverage its strengths to further local and regional housing goals.

MISSION
The mission of the Housing Authority is to provide affordable housing opportunities to help break the cycle of
poverty and improve the quality of life in our community.
WHO WE SERVE
The Department of Housing Services was formed in 1992 to administer the housing activities and programs of
Washington County and the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority of Washington County (HAWC), created in
1970, remains a separate legal entity and contracts with the County to implement and administer Housing
Authority programs and all support services (e.g. finance, purchasing, and personnel). Working in partnership with
75 Voting Members
both the non-profit and the private sector, the Department of Housing Services combines traditional housing
programs with economic opportunity to encourage self sufficiency, skill enhancement and independence.
The Department of Housing Services (DHS) offers housing assistance to low income households through various
federally funded programs, and assists in creation of affordable housing opportunities through a combination of
creative financing and partnerships with public and private entities. DHS is also the lead agency for the Washington
County 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
As of July, 2011, DHS was assisting 2,993 households through its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Shelter Plus
Care, and Public Housing programs. Of these: 1,292 were families with children, 600 were elderly households, and
1,621 were households where the head of household or spouse is a person with disabilities. 88% of the households
with children were headed by a female parent.
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
DHS’ voucher and Public Housing programs provide rental assistance to approximately 3,000 very low
income households in Washington County. In 2010-2011, HAWC provided over $17 million in rental
assistance dollars for low-income households.
DHS manages two Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) developments: Holly Tree Village in Beaverton
(140 units) and Tarkington Square Apartments (48 units) in Hillsboro. These developments house low-
income elderly or disabled residents.
DHS also administers Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) in partnership with other housing providers.
LifeWorks Northwest (13 vouchers), Luke-Dorf Inc. (12 vouchers) and Community Partners for Affordable
Housing (CPAH) (12 vouchers) provide housing for homeless and special needs residents using project
based vouchers.
DHS developed the Housing and Supportive Services Network (HSSN) in partnership with private and non-
profit partners, to plan and implement a Continuum of Care for homeless and special needs individuals
and families.
DHS is the lead agency for coordinating and reporting outcomes on the implementation of strategies to
prevent and end homelessness. In partnership with public and nonprofit providers, the 10-Year Plan to
End Homelessness was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in June 2008, and embraces the
“housing-first” model to rapidly re-housing homeless persons.
Washington County has served as the lead applicant and coordinator of Washington County’s Continuum
of Care McKinney-Vento Grant Program, and coordinates the implementation of the Ten-Year Plan to End
Homelessness. Washington County’s CoC application has been the highest-scoring application in Oregon
State for three consecutive years, and was awarded more than $2 million in Federal funding in 2011 to
support housing and services to assist very-low-income and homeless residents find and maintain
housing.
Bridges to Housing (B2H) is a regional initiative serving high-need homeless families in Clark County,
Washington, and in Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties in Oregon. Washington County
served 46 families in partnership with Community Action through this program in the first four phases of
the program.
Severe Weather Shelter Program: More than 3,000 bed stays were provided during winter operations in
both 2008-09 and 2009-10. In 2010-2011, 4,796 bed stays were provided, utilizing 11,585 volunteer
hours.
76 Voting Members
In 2010, the Housing Authority of Washington County was awarded 25 HUD-VASH vouchers to serve
homeless veterans in Washington County. This was the first HUD-VASH award for HAWC, and these 25
vouchers were fully utilized by July, 2011.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness: Year 4: Housing Services will continue to lead the efforts of the Housing and
Supportive Services Network (HSSN) in implementing the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness. In Year 4, efforts will
focus on maintaining funding for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services, maintaining the Single-Entry
system for the Washington County shelter network, and coordinating the 6th
annual Project Homeless Connect
event in collaboration with faith-based and community partners. More information is available on the website at:
http://www.co.washington.or.us/Housing/10-year-plan-to-end-homelessness.cfm
Bridges to Housing: Phase 5: Phase 5 will begin in summer 2011, serving 5 high-needs homeless families with
children by providing housing assistance, case management, and employment assistance. Ten families in Phase 3
and five families in Phase 4 will continue into 2011 as well.
Severe Weather Shelter Program: 2011-2012, with 6 anticipated shelter sites in 5 Washington County cities
Aloha-Reedville Study and Livable Community Plan: The Department of Housing Services is serving as co-lead with
the Department of Land Use and Transportation on this three-year planning project to create a vision, goals, and
strategies for the urban unincorporated Aloha-Reedville area and its future development. This project is funded
with grants from DOT, HUD, and Metro. Project information and updates are available on the website:
http://www.co.washington.or.us/LUT/PlanningProjects/alohareedville/index.cfm
Regional Housing Authorities Mobility Counseling Pilot: HAWC, in partnership with Home Forward (formerly the
Housing Authority of Portland), the Vancouver Housing Authority, and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County,
will conduct a pilot project aimed at providing low-income households with the education and tools they need to
make fully-informed location-efficient housing choices. This pilot project will serve 50-200 households in the
region, and is partially funded by a Metro RTO grant of $60,000.
Housing Authority Partnership with WorkSystems, Inc.: Housing Services will continue to work with WorkSystems
to select up to 15 low-income individuals from the Section 8 program to participate in Occupational Skills Training.

WHO WE SERVE
IHI provides homes to a wide range of people. IHI owns downtown studios that house very low-income seniors
and people with physical and mental disabilities, and others that were designed as workforce housing for low-
wage earners. We have units designated for low-income people with HIV/AIDS and many apartments set aside for
chronically homeless adults with disabilities. IHI operates some of its buildings as low-barrier housing for
individuals with credit, rental, and criminal histories that might otherwise prevent them from securing housing.
Approximately half of IHI’s portfolio houses low-income families, most of whom work low paying jobs and struggle
to make ends meet. The average income of the families in IHI housing is just 34% of area median, or $24,820 for a
family of four. Some of our family units are set aside for homeless families.
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
IHI has developed and operates 13 affordable, rental projects in the Portland region with a total of 844 units that are designed to accommodate the needs of seniors, tenants with physical and mental disabilities, chronically homeless singles, families, and other low-income households.
IHI has developed 93 condo units in three mixed-income condominium projects that created homeownership opportunities for households earning between 60% and 100% of area median income.
IHI has acquired and preserved five projects with 311 affordable rental units as they have exited their Low-Income Housing Tax Credit compliance periods.
In 2010 IHI launched Innovative Change$ – a responsible alternative to predatory lenders that gives low-income households access to affordable, short term cash loans along with financial education, counseling, and credit building opportunities.
CURRENT PROJECTS
IHI is currently developing 50 new units of housing on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Northeast Portland, redeveloping 34 studio apartments in Old Town, and working to redevelop a trailer park into affordable family apartments in Albany, Oregon.

To advance individual and community prosperity by investing in buildings, homes and families.
WHO WE SERVE
While we serve all families earning below 80% median family income, Proud Ground’s priority is addressing the
disparities among communities of color who have historically lower homeownership rates in the Portland area. We
are committed to healthy and efficient buildings that support healthy families; projects use Oregon High
Performance Homes, Earth Advantage, and LEED for Homes certification processes and guidelines. Finally,
recognizing that the need does not end at city lines, Proud Ground has expanded its service area. We recently
received funding to serve the City of Gresham and we are working to address the need in Washington County.

good homes give people the opportunity to build better lives. More than one hundred of our homes were

oversight and long-standing collaboration with service providers are the reason that this housing fits into the

emergency service and aid to homeless and low-income people while creating opportunities for self-improvement
and self-sufficiency through jobs, training, affordable housing, and recycling.

units come from generational poverty, are headed by single parents, and have multiple barriers to housing

address these barriers. SVDP has recently focused on the needs of homeless veterans, developing 33 units of
transitional and permanent housing with supportive services.

MISSION Creating solutions to poverty Improving lives in our community
WHO WE SERVE
We have 85 units scattered between Drain and Canyonville along the I-5 corridor. 68 of the units are set aside for
specific, hard to house populations. These populations include previously incarcerated individuals and families,
alcohol and drug recovery individuals and families, chronic mental illness families or a combination of populations,
all at very low (<50% of median) or extremely low (<30% of median) income. No two properties have the same
occupancy requirements. As a rule, these hard to house families need more attention than a general population
family. We have two Case Managers that work at the three Transitional properties, regarding specific A&D
program requirements. Even though the maximum lease at the transition properties can be 2 years, the average
tenancy is under 9 months. More time is needed to listen to their needs and suggest resources to help them be
successful tenants.

Formed in 1996, the Community Alliance of Tenants (CAT) is Oregon’s only statewide, grassroots, tenant-
controlled, tenant-rights organization. CAT educates, organizes and develops the leadership of low-income
tenants to directly challenge unjust housing policies and practices. Our mission is to educate and empower
tenants to demand affordable, stable and safe rental homes. We address the impact Oregon’s decreasing supply
of decent, affordable housing and absence of meaningful tenant protections has on low-income tenants.

Mellani Calvin
1336 E. Burnside Street, Suite 130 Portland OR 97214 (503) 888-2690 [email protected] www.disabilitybenefitstraining.info
We train people to represent themselves and/or others in the Social Security Disability application process
anywhere in the state or region. Our assertive and early claim intervention model aids claimants and the Social
Security Administration in processing the initial applications in a much more thorough manner. Our training is
designed to fill a very large service gap in housing, income and treatment services for people suffering from
debilitating conditions that prevent them from returning to the work force. You do not have to be an attorney or
hire an attorney to have rapid and positive results. This particular form of administrative law allows for “lay”
representation. We can teach you the “in” and “outs” of the application process and how to receive disability

FHCO is a nonprofit civil rights organization driven to eliminate illegal housing discrimination through enforcement
and education across Oregon and southwest Washington. We promote equal access to housing by providing
education, outreach, technical assistance, and enforcement opportunities specifically related to federal, state, and
local fair housing laws. These laws protect against illegal housing discrimination based on “protected class status”
in any housing transaction and, in fact, any housing situation.
Federally Protected Classes: race, color, national origin, religion, gender, familial status, and disability.
State Protected Classes Include: marital status, source of income, sexual orientation including gender identity,
honorably discharged veterans/military status, and domestic violence victims.
We staff a Fair Housing Hotline (800-424-3247 Ext. 2) to assist those with fair housing questions and accept reports
of fair housing violations. We also offer a growing array of classes, guidebooks, and other reference materials
tailor-made to the various facets of the housing market and others, such as the general public and jurisdictions, all
of whom need to be informed of their fair housing rights and responsibilities.

Oral Health Outreach, LLC (OHO) has developed a new delivery model for dental services and treatment,
particularly to underserved seniors and children who are chronically denied access to quality oral health care due
to mobility constraints, economic conditions or both.
OHO is a recruiting, training, marketing and management support organization for hygienists seeking access to
chronically underserved groups such as residents at senior centers and affordable housing communities as well as
individuals on a one to one basis and other groups in various public or private institutional settings.
There is little doubt that most residents of our target market properties would enjoy substantially improved oral
health and quality of life through regularly scheduled OHO days conducted by our team of dedicated oral
hygienists and other dental professionals. OHO handles all scheduling, logistics and billings to third parties or
OHP/Medicaid. All we request is access to a population in desperate need of quality and compassionate dental
care and a room or space to set up our mobile equipment.
We are a for profit entity, however, our passion is to serve the underserved and to significantly improve the quality
of life of those under our care.

Impact NW (formerly known as "Impact Northwest" and "Portland Impact")
provides a safety net for families in crisis, with services that connect them to housing and energy assistance while
supporting them as they move toward independence.
Impact NW’s Housing and Safety Net programs connect families with resources that empower them to achieve
self-sufficiency. Our staff assesses each family’s needs and helps them apply for benefit programs such as “SNAP”
(Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), “TANF” (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and “LIHEAP”
(Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). Some families need help paying their rent for a few months;
others require more long-term housing assistance. For families that need a higher level of support we operate a
transitional housing complex called Richmond Place, a 20-unit substance-free facility where parents receive
financial and literacy training, while children are supported through mentoring and activities. All families in our
Housing and Safety Net programs have access to our Community Food Basket.
Every year, 12,000 households are served through Impact NW’s Housing & Safety Net Services programs.
