On this #GivingTuesday, Nch'i Wana Housing has exciting news-- our online donations platform is officially live! We hope that you take this day as an opportunity to support organizations like us that seek to make changes and improve the lives of the people they serve.
This year, we’ve been busier than ever. From the development of our new logo, launching of our website, to strategic planning, and the growth of our NWH team, we've been growing and building our capacity to continue our work to empower all Nch’i Wana Pum (People of the Big River).
Through our partnership with the Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC) we were able to launch our inaugural Rapid Rehousing Program. This program helps reduce our clients' barriers to housing by covering security deposits, application fees, landlord incentives, and short-term rental assistance. We are excited to see all the good this will do for our community.
Our Board of Directors gathered mid-year for a 2-day long workshop to revitalize our mission, vision, and values and lay the groundwork for our Strategic Plan. We were so grateful for the chance to learn from and work with Joanna Donohoe with Seven Sisters Community Development Group.
Our staff has also grown over the past year. We welcomed Mylene Villarreal as an Outreach Case Manager and Valerie Quintasket as our Project & Community Outreach Coordinator. They have both made a great addition to our team and we look forward to all our work ahead together. We've continued our involvement and support of Gorge Native American Collaborative (GNAC) events, such as holiday food box delivery, the Columbia River Round Dance, among others.
Your donations help us continue our work to empower all Nch’i Wana Pum (People of the Big River) by providing access to housing, community services, and economic opportunities along the Columbia River. Your contributions will help with community events and client assistance to the people on the River.
As we move toward 2025, we’re beginning the adoption of our new strategic plan that will guide us as we continue to grow as an organization.
This #GivingTuesday, we hope you support our mission at Nch'i Wana Housing.
