The solutions for our issues lie within our own communities.
HOUSING PROGRAM
The SPDC Housing program is geared towards connecting our Samoan and PI community members throughout Oregon and SW Washington with resources that empower them to achieve self-sufficiency. Our community has been historically underfunded and underserved in accessing the resources they need to thrive. SPDC's role is to offer support to community members by navigating social service systems, referral to resources, and collaborating on a plan toward self-sufficiency. We provide informational sessions for housing, financial literacy, and one-on-one support.
