Northwest Pilot Project

Mission

Northwest Pilot Project (NWPP)'s mission is to offer opportunities for a life of dignity and hope to very low-income seniors in Multnomah County by solving housing needs. 

Bottom Line

As the number of homeless seniors continues to increase rapidly, NWPP is responding by expanding services to connect low-income and very low-income seniors (55 and over) to rental housing that is safe, permanent, and affordable to them. As rents rise, but the fixed benefits for most seniors stay at the same levels, NWPP is here to provide rent assistance, housing navigation, case management and basic housing stability services to prevent eviction and move seniors from homelessness into housing. 

This vulnerable population is more at risk as funding on both the federal and state level becomes more and more uncertain. We're here to make sure no homeless older adult goes unserved. Join us to KEEP SENIORS HOUSED!
