A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Partners of NHA:
2019 was a momentus year for Northwest Housing Alternatives. Together, we accomplished many important goals for the organization including:
Completing the NHA campus, including 28 units of permanent affordable housing, a brand new Annie Ross House family emergency shelter, and the NHA headquarters, built to Net Zero standards
Moving NHA staff and operations back to our flagship Milwaukie campus and re-launching the Annie Ross House Family Emergency Shelter
Establishing a Resident Advisory Council that reports to NHA’s Board of Directors to create a forum for NHA residents to provide feedback about NHA programs and properties
Creating a new three-year Strategic Plan with the help of community input
Shifting the organization’s equity work to focus on racial equity through the adoption of a new equity lens, creating an equity glossary, establishing active working groups, and re-examining NHA’s hiring and recruitment policies with a focus on equity
Developing a budget strategy to keep all activities and housing development online and at scale with over $2 million of increased operational expenses from 2019 to 2020
In addition, we completed the construction of Clayton Mohr apartments, which provides 24 affordable housing units for veterans struggling with homelessness, rehabbed the River Glen property (44 units), and broke ground on new developments in the Gateway neighborhood in NE Portland as well as in Hermiston, OR–a total of 207 new homes.
With multiple developments already in the works, we are looking forward to another busy and successful year in 2020.
We thank you for being part of our journey.
Sincerely,
Trell Anderson
