Thank You for Being Part of Our Story!

40 Years of Our REACH!

In 2022 REACH celebrated 40 years of community impact alongside residents, donors, volunteers, and partners. We are grateful to this community of supporters who are joining REACH to build a region where people of all backgrounds and income levels have the opportunity to live in quality homes they can afford.

See below for the transformative progress made possible with your support in 2022. Thank you for being part of our story!

2022 Impact Report


REACH serves people living on limited incomes, including individuals and families.

REACH’s portfolio consists of 43 apartment communities and 119 single-family homes since 1982.

REACH serves three counties in Oregon and SW Washington: Multnomah, Washington, and Clark Counties.


SUPPORTIVE SERVICES



Resident Services

Resident Services supports residents’ right to self-determination and community-driven solutions. Resident Service Coordinators meet on-site to provide information and referrals on various services, including food assistance, health services, childcare, crisis management, and other critical resources.


Resident Programs

REACH Programming includes financial literacy initiatives that help adults and youth make informed financial decisions; advocacy opportunities led by people who have experienced housing injustice; and seasonal activities for families like spring break events, school supply drives, and toy giveaways.


Community Builders Program

REACH’s free home repair program serves low-income homeowners in the City of Portland. Staff and volunteers provide fire, life, and safety upgrades to support older adults and people with disabilities to stay safe in their homes and address costly citations for yard maintenance.

AFFORDABLE HOMES



Four communities in our pipeline: Plaza Los Amigos, Elmonica Station, Dartmouth Crossing, and 73Foster.


Provided 1,155 households with housing stability support in the form of home repairs for homeowners and financial support for residents.
