Description
The Northwest Pilot Project offers services to low-income seniors (age 55 and up) and people with developmental disabilities in Multnomah County relating to housing and transportation needs. NWPP offers case management, rental assistance, medical referrals, assistance with signing up for benefits, and help in locating safe, stable, affordable housing. The program serves approximately 1,500 people each year around 220 of whom engage in case management and 500 of whom receive some major housing assistance, such as paying off owed rent. NWPP does not own any buildings but has strong relationships with other programs such as Reach, Community Development, Transition Projects, Central City Concern, and HUD. Funding sources for participants include SSI, SSDI, Social Security, VA pensions, and unemployment or severance pay. There is no income threshold, but priority is given to the very elderly with no income. In some cases, Northwest Pilot Project offers help with clearing up credit or with filling out a rental application. Participants are encouraged to address treatment needs. Referrals are made to social service agencies, people are placed on HUD lists and signed up for food stamps.
