Adelante Mujeres is a non-profit organization based in Forest Grove that provides education and small business development support services to low-income Latino families throughout Washington County. Adelante offers these services through three main programs: Adelante Empresas, a comprehensive small business development project that provides training, support and networking for low-income Latinos entrepreneurs, an Adult Education Program which offers classes for low-income Latina women, readying them to obtain their GEDs, improve their English skills, and enhance their self-esteem and leadership capacities and, finally, the Forest Grove Farmers Market which is managed by Adelante Mujeres as part of the Micro Enterprise Program which focuses on small scale sustainable farming.
These three programs, along with strong community partnerships, allow us to provide small business, post-secondary education and employment-related adaptive equipment, technology or specialized training IDAs to individuals currently participating in our programs.

Since 1983, the Black United Fund has served more than 700 community agencies. We fund organizations that address issues such as social justice, poverty, youth empowerment and economic sustainability.
In 1994, our ACCESS (Achieving College Competency and Educational Success for Students) scholarship fund was established to recognize students for their academic performance, leadership, and community service. With the cost of tuition rising and more students relying on loans, we expanded our scholarship program to include training workshops where aspiring students can learn how to identify scholarship opportunities and compose compelling personal essays. We will also discussing budgeting and finances while in college. Our goal is to provide 250 high school students in the 2008-2009 school year with these informative workshops. Students that attend the workshops would be eligible to apply to the Educational IDA.

Northwest Oregon Housing Authority (NOHA) has been providing Housing Choice Vouchers for low income families living in Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook Counties since 1976. Beginning in October 1994, NOHA began offering the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program to its clients. Since that time, we have had two people purchase homes subsequent to their participation in the FSS Program. We have a current caseload of 40 in the FSS Program. Some are pursuing home ownership, others education, and still others the development of a small business.
NOHA will be working in conjunction with Clatsop Community Action to broaden our target base to qualifying families and individuals throughout Clatsop County who are not utilizing NOHA’s services. Together we will be providing support for Home Ownership, Education, and Small Business IDAs.
