WHO WE SERVE
NHA provides a wide array of affordable housing options for Oregonians who earn modest incomes including families, seniors and people with special needs.  We connect NHA tenants to new opportunities with information and access to community services and resources.  NHA also helps Clackamas County residents experiencing homelessness with shelter, support services and a new initiative aimed at preventing homelessness before it begins.

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• NHA currently provides affordable homes – and new opportunities – for 2,400 people in 16 Oregon counties
• Annie Ross House opened in 1986 to help families with children transition out of homelessness
• NHA’s newest program seeks to prevent homelessness before it begins.  HomeBase helps families and individuals with eviction prevention, rapid re-housing and on-going supports to help people remain stable
• NHA portfolio includes many units for people with special needs, including:

o    55 care homes across Oregon for adults with developmental disabilities

o    Supported rental apartments for adults with chronic mental illness

o    A group home for people living with HIV and AIDS

o    A shared home for women in recovery

• NHA’s development staff has built expertise in mixed finance projects, blending HUD 202 and 811 grants with Low Income Housing Tax Credits
