- Assistance with motel vouchers, rent assistance and transitional housing, depending on availability and eligibility for community funds
- Advocacy with current or potential landlords

Outcomes:
During our 2010-2011 fiscal year (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011) NWPP's Senior Housing Program provided housing services to 1550 households needing a variety of assistance. Of those:
We placed 70 households in transitional housing.
We placed 206 households in permanent housing.
We provided eviction prevention services to 241 households.
We provided 63 hotel/motel voucher placements.
We believe that long-term housing stability is the best measure of our success at ending or preventing homelessness for seniors. We measure our clients' success in their housing at three regular intervals: 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after placement or eviction prevention services.
In 2010/2011, our success rates were as follows:
88.7 % remained successful after 3 months
87 % remained successful after 6 months
80.78 % remained successful after 12 months
Housing stability can be effected by decreased income and loss of unemployment benefits. Some of the individuals housed moved out of the area to seek employment.
Housing Options:
Open Market (Non-subsidized) Apartments in Multnomah County (Section 8)
Buildings with Project-Based Assistance
HUD Subsidized Apartment Buildings for Senior & Disabled Persons in Multnomah County
