Neighborhood Partnerships (NP) is a mission-driven organization committed to equity and inclusion. New hires participate in equity specific onboarding training, and all staff participate in ongoing professional and personal development related to equity and inclusion. Please read our Racial Equity Statement.

NP works to advance housing and economic justice through several initiatives, coalitions, and projects. These include the Oregon Housing Alliance, which works to advance housing opportunity in Oregon; and the Oregon Individual Development Account (IDA) Initiative, which funds matched savings accounts for Oregonians with low incomes to save for an education, home, small business, or other investment. We dedicate time and resources at every level of the organization to address disparities based on identity and to apply an equity lens to all decisions, programs, and policies.

NP utilizes a Leadership Council, made up of union represented and management staff, to guide organizational shared decision-making.

The IDA Program Director provides strategic leadership for the Oregon IDA Initiative at Neighborhood Partnerships, advancing the Initiative’s vision, mission, and commitment to racial equity. The Program Director will build strong partnerships with Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), IDA Fiduciary Organizations (FOs), policymakers, and other stakeholders to maximize the Initiative’s impact across Oregon. Under the direction of the Organizational Director, the Program Director leads the IDA team through an inclusive, collaborative approach to decision-making.

The Program Director ensures compliance with Neighborhood Partnerships’ administrative contract with OHCS while guiding innovative program design, equitable resource allocation, and continuous program improvement. The Program Director sets the long-term vision for the Initiative’s stability and growth, leading policy development in partnership with stakeholders and legislative advocates. Working closely with staff and partners, the Program Director strengthens IDA systems and processes to reduce unnecessary barriers, maintain accountability, and improve access to the IDA Initiative as we expand opportunities for Oregonians to build assets and long-term financial stability.
