Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to help create a better Oregon where everyone has access to opportunity, stability, and what they need to thrive, beginning with stable housing and financial well-being. Its website describes work to address immediate harms and pursue longer-term change through organizing, policy advocacy, research, and narrative change, with attention to people most affected by racial, housing, and economic injustice.
The organization administers Oregon’s Individual Development Account (IDA) Initiative and manages contributions for it. The IDA program supports people with low incomes and no or very low assets in building financial assets; the 2024 filing reports more than 3,000 active participants statewide. This is a participant program, distinct from grants to outside organizations.
Its other described work includes the Oregon Housing Alliance, which advocates for affordable housing, and policy and organizing efforts focused on economic justice and financial inclusion. The organization says it selects grants based on grantees’ ability to contribute to program success and accomplish the grant purpose, and monitors grants through periodic and quarterly reporting and biennial on-site reviews.
The 2025 grants show support for organizations with community-development purposes. Among the grantees, Portland Housing Center describes its mission as making homeownership accessible through education, counseling, and financial services. Native American Youth and Family Center describes its mission as enriching the lives of Native American youth and families in the Portland area through education, community involvement, and culturally specific programming.
