Awards
Maggie Reilly of CASA Recognized by CFED for Two Awards -top
CASA of Oregon’s MESA Program Manager Maggie Reilly won two awards last week, Innovative Idea Champion and Next Generation Innovator. Congratulations Maggie and CASA! from the CFED website:
About the Innovation
The Matched Education Savings Account (MESA) College Initiative is an innovative approach to financing higher education and college access for low-income and underrepresented students. The MESA program uses colleges and universities themselves as the students’ portal to matched savings accounts. The accounts leverage student savings by a rate of five to one and provide withdrawals timed to tuition payment dates. This model can be brought to scale by the nonprofit managing the Assets for Independence matched savings accounts by allowing that organization to concentrate on managing larger numbers of accounts and more funds while the schools and local partners interface with student savers. This innovation has the potential to change the financial aid landscape by enlisting colleges and universities to consider matched savings accounts as a financial asset to help college-bound students of all ages pay for post-secondary education expenses.
About the Innovator
Maggie is an asset development practitioner with more than nine years of community development and corporate experience from domestic and international work. In her current capacity at CASA of Oregon, she oversees the Matched Education Savings Accounts College Initiative and provides operational and technical support to the organization’s Individual Development Account (IDA) program called VIDA, a collaborative of over forty non-profit and housing authority partners that deliver IDAs in the region.

Prop Manager-Service Provider Partnerships That Work – July 22-top
Bobby Weinstock from Northwest Pilot Project invites property managers and social service providers to attend the next meeting of the Housing Partnership Workgroup.

Cross-Country Bike & Build Team Stops at Habitat – July 29-top
- When: July 29, 2010
- Time: 7:00 p.m.
- Where: Green Dragon, located at 928 SE 9th Avenue, Portland, OR.
- Why: Bike and Build participants will share some highlights of their adventure pedaling to support affordable housing
Join Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East and the local biking community as we welcome Bike and Build to the Portland area. Thirty passionate college-age Bike and Build cyclists are pedaling their way from Virginia Beach to Cannon Beach on a two-month cross-country journey These college-age students are participating in Bike & Build, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that organizes cross-country cycling trips to benefit the affordable housing cause in the United States. Their stop in Portland includes construction on Habitat for Humanity’s Youth United sponsored home at Lents Landing and will be one of their last stops before they conclude their trip on the Oregon Coast.
Since its inception in 2002, Bike and Build has involved over 1,000 young adults and has donated over $2.3 million to affordable housing charities to fund projects executed by young people. Not only do Bike and Build team members ride about 70 miles per day for two months, but they take 8-10 days off along the way to build homes.
On July 29, the Bike and Build team will be working at Habitat’s Lents Landing site. Other Portland biking notables will be joining them onsite. The build will offer inspiration and support to these future leaders—both Bike and Build and our own local Youth United team—and offer a change to learn about Habitat’s growing local homeownership program.
Habitat will also be hosting an outreach event to Portland’s cycling community on the evening of July 29 at 7:00 p.m. Bike and Build participants will share some highlights of their adventure for an informal gathering at the patio at Green Dragon, located at 928 SE 9th Avenue, Portland, OR. Please join them!

Emerson Street Garden Groundbreaking Celebration – July 31-top
Multnomah County is an important supporter in a great list of folks making it possible for a wide community coalition organized by Groundwork Portland to turn a contaminated, vacant property into Emerson Street Garden. Join them in celebrating the groundbreaking!
- Emerson Street Garden
Saturday, July 31st
4:00-7:00 pm
822 NE Emerson Street
- See the Community’s Design for a garden and educational space that incorporates ideas meeting diverse needs and honors the history of the neighborhood.
- Free ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, and ART activities for youth, teens and adults.
Multnomah County donated the site to OSALT through the County Digs program in October 22, 2008 so that it could become community-based garden for future generations. The site is a typical old residential lot in NE Portland – meaning, among other things, that it is contaminated with lead. Part of the site will serve as a test field for phytoremediation – removing soil contamination using plants. The remaining portion of the property will be an urban garden.
Concept Plan above by TERRA.fluxus LLC. Click here to learn more about this cool project on Portland Bureau of Environmental Service’s website. Click here to read about the groundbreaking event on Groundwork Portland’s website.
To RSVP, contact Cassie at Groundwork Portland at 503.662.2590 or via email. Spanish flyers and translation available upon request.

Columbia Cascade Housing Corp Only Oregon HUD 202-811 Awardee -top
Oregon ON Voting Member Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation was the only awardee in Oregon of HUD’s 2009 Section 811 and 202 Capital Advance Programs. The award was part of $27,701,300 in housing assistance competitively awarded to non-profit groups by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide senior citizens and persons with disabilities with additional affordable housing.
Here are the details of Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation’s award:
- Section 202 – Supportive Housing for the Elderly
- Project Location: Cascade Locks, OR
- Non-Profit Sponsor: Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation
- Capital Advance: $1,633,800
- Three-year rental subsidy: $129,300
- Number of units: 13
- Project Description: Cascade Meadows Senior Apartments will be the first HUD-funded housing and the first designated senior housing in Cascade Locks. It will provide 13 new apartments specifically designed with the needs of seniors in mind. It will be located within walking distance of the library, city hall, stores, restaurants and medical offices. In addition, the City of Cascade Locks is exploring funding options to develop a community center in the property adjacent to the apartments.
The funds are provided under HUD’s Section 202, Supportive Housing for the Elderly, and Section 811, Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities, programs to provide interest-free capital advances to produce accessible housing, offer rental assistance, and provide supportive services for the elderly and persons with disabilities. The Section 202 Capital Advance Program is directed at very low-income (less than 50% AMI) frail seniors 62 years of age or older.
The awards in the Northwest, part of more than $550 million in Section 202 and 811 grants announced on July 12 2010, will create an additional 179 units of affordable housing in Anchorage, Nampa, Omak, Renton, Spokane, The Dalles and Vancouver (see project summaries by clicking here).
“The Obama Administration is committed to making sure our senior citizens and persons with disabilities have opportunities to live in decent, affordable homes,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. “Neither of these groups should ever have to worry about being able to find a safe place to live.”
“Thanks to these funds and to the hard work of our partners, we’ll be able to provide much-need affordable housing resources for the elderly and people with disabilities across the region,” said HUD Northwest Regional Administrator Mary McBride.

NAYA Family Center is proud to announce 14 new Early College Academy Graduates! Students from the Siletz, Lakota Sioux, Warm Springs, Blackfeet, Salish, Ojibwe, Yakama, Colvile, Cowlitz, Klamath and Navajo nations, made us incredibly proud as they took this important step in their journey to become the next generation of Native leaders! Thirteen of the fourteen graduates are signed up to continue on into higher education and training programs, many with full and partial scholarships!
One of our students, Michael Marteeny, came to NAYA Family Center after he was told repeatedly by his high school counselors that he was not college material and probably would not graduate. We are proud to share that he earned over 18 college credits prior to graduating and had multiple acceptance letters and scholarship offers to four year universities. He is just one of our success stories.
It is clear that our entire community shared in this moment, as we packed the auditorium with over 250 people from all backgrounds and ages to support our children.
If you are inspired by this story, please make a financial contribution to NAYA Family Center at our website www.nayapdx.org. Support our youth, support our future.
Habitat for Humanity Lands Number 8 on Builder Magazine List-top
from the Portland Business Journal, July 21
Habitat for Humanity has landed in the No. 8 spot on the Builder 100 list, thanks in part to the active Portland/Metro East chapter. It is the first time the nonprofit homebuilding organization has cracked the top 10 of the annual Builder Magazine list.
The list is based on 2009 home closings and shows Habitat, which offers prospective homeowners no-interest mortgages, with 5,294 closings nationally. The Portland/Metro East affiliate builds 20 homes a year but is aiming for 30 per year by 2014.
Demand from potential area homeowners has soared. The Portland chapter received applications from about 400 families in 2009. It typically receives about 250 requests. To help keep pace, the group in January launched a campaign to build a four-year inventory of buildable lots, or about 135 construction sites.
All told, the Portland/Metro East chapter has built roughly 200 homes with a foreclosure rate of less than 1 percent. The chapter has focused its energy of late in Portland’s Lents neighborhood and in the Rockwood neighborhood in Gresham.
NOHA Names New Executive Director After Nationwide Search -top

Polk CDC Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program -top
When Polk CDC states that its mission is to provide opportunities for “high quality, affordable housing” in Polk County, many people think primarily of our work in building affordable rental housing and in helping first-time homebuyers. However, even long-time homeowners can have problems with the quality of their housing. After all, a 2006 HUD study suggests that nearly six in ten American housing units require at least minor repairs that fall outside the category of regular ongoing maintenance. What’s more, problems with quality can lead to problems with affordability. Of the estimated $1.3 trillion of rehab needed nationwide, 43% is deemed to be “unaffordable” based on the income of the homeowner or tenant. In fact, factoring necessary repairs into housing costs raises the percentage of Americans living in unaffordable homes from 20 to 29%.
Polk CDC’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program, funded by the Oregon Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, seeks to confront this growing problem. The Housing Rehab program provides low-interest loans to Polk County homeowners whose incomes are below 80% of the median family income (MFI) for the size of their household (find the 2010 income limits for Polk County here). Loans run between 2% and 6% annual interest depending on household income and size. For most people that is a lower rate than a conventional home equity loan. What’s more, Polk CDC loans also do not depend on credit history and are designed to be affordable on a case-by-case basis, with terms and rates set so that the people who need the most help get the best terms. As a non-profit, Polk CDC does not sell their loans and is willing to work with borrowers who face difficult situations to try to keep them in their homes. Finally, the Housing Rehab program not only removes financial barriers to home repair, it also removes knowledge barriers by helping clients to choose and work with reputable, licensed contractors.
Over the past twenty years, Polk CDC has helped over 800 families build necessary additions, fix their foundations, increase their energy efficiency, and a whole lot more—all to ensure that affordable homes are also comfortable and safe homes where Polk County residents can grow up or grow old.
