Member Services
The primary focus of Oregon ON is to ensure our members have the tools they need to be successful in their mission to improve the lives of Oregonians.
We accomplish this through:
Peer Training and Promotion of Best Practices
Oregon ON manages a peer training network designed to give our members a forum to exchange ideas, build their knowledge, receive training and technical assistance, and promote best practices.
Training and Technical Assistance
Oregon ON also connects our members with other organizations offering relevant training, helps coordinate a training calendar, and connects our members with other technical assistance resources.

Policy and Advocacy Work
Oregon ON advances issues and policies that allow our members to more effectively help build sustainable communities, develop affordable housing for working families, people with disabilities, seniors and others, and provide economic opportunities for Oregonians who are struggling to meet their basic needs. We are one of the lead organizations in the Housing Alliance and Affordable Housing NOW!
Oregon ON has monthly meetings of a State Policy Council and a Portland Policy Council, both comprised of member representatives that develop policy solutions and recommendations to increase their ability to serve community need.
Communications
Oregon ON’s communication program has three areas of focus: Connecting our members to one another; Keeping our members and partners informed; and Promoting the work of our members in to decision makers, the media, and the general public. Program activities include:
