Region 2 Members
Housing and Community Services Agency of Lane County
IDA Specialist: Sandi Sanders, FSS Program HACSA’s primary purpose is to provide affordable, descent, safe and sanitary housing to low and moderate income families and households. We are offering the opportunity for HACSA, FSS Program participants, to set up IDA’s for the purpose of home ownership and education. We have the ability to also set up small business IDA’s but at this time we are referring those participants to Lane MicroBusiness.
The Housing Authority of Jackson County
IDA Specialist: Christie Van Aken The Housing Authority of Jackson County offers rental assistance to low income families, either through rental subsidy or affordable housing units. HAJC administers the Family Self-Sufficiency program and the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program, as well as the owner-occupied home repair program. The IDA asset goals offered are homeownership, post-secondary education and small business development.
Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation
IDA Specialist: Cathy Baltazar Since 1979, NEDCO has developed projects that strengthen low-income households and the neighborhoods in which they live and work. Our mission is to “collaboratively build human and capital assets to strengthen neighborhoods and broaden participation in community ownership and governance.” The Homeownership Center of Lane County is an integral component of our work, and the homeownership education programs we have offered since 1994 demonstrate the transformative power of increased self-sufficiency, improved financial literacy, and greater housing security for low-income individuals and families throughout Lane County. We offer Homeownership IDA’s.
St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Inc.
IDA Specialist: Colleen Stewart The mission of St. Vincent de Paul is to assist the poor and those in need of consolation. Our Board of Directors, volunteers, and staff carry out this mission through three main areas: emergency services for homeless families and individuals, affordable housing, and jobs/training through recycling businesses. This outreach can be as local as a food box delivered to a hungry family or as far-reaching as importing furniture that was headed for a landfill from the United Kingdom. Proceeds from our seven retail thrift stores and recycling operations help fund our charitable activities. In everything we do, we try to alleviate immediate suffering, help people have the opportunity to build a better life, and be good stewards of resources. St. Vincent de Paul partners with other agencies in the county to offer IDA’s for homeownership, post-secondary education, home repair and rehabilitation, workforce training, and need-based adaptive and specialized equipment. At this time, we are referring individuals interested in small business IDA’s to Lane MicroBusiness.
