Community
Partners
The housing authority works with its
local community partners to develop housing programs for the
special needs population and to assist participants in
obtaining adequate housing.
Seaside
Duplex and Warrenton Beach House: Located in Clatsop County the units were
developed with state dollars for developmentally disabled
individuals. Coast Rehabilitation Services provides services
to residence.
Ready to Rent:
A program obtained from the Housing
Center of Portland by Columbia Community Action Team, Inc. The
program is designed to help families with poor rental and
credit histories get a second chance to secure suitable rental
units. Clatsop Community Action, Clatsop County Housing
Authority and the housing authority provides teachers and
materials and are teaching classes for the Women’s Resource
Center and DHS TANF program, among other community programs.
Camp Rosenbaum: Each year the housing authority sends 4 kids to
Camp Rosenbaum. The camp is sponsored by the Housing Authority
of Portland and is a fantastic opportunity for kids.
Several of our staff serve
on local governing boards i.e. Workforce Investment, Coastal
Family Health Center and One-Stop, Clatsop County Landlord
Association and various committees through out the tri-county
area involving housing issues for community partners and their
clientele. |
