About

Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) is dedicated to building quality affordable housing opportunities with services and programs in Washington County and SW Portland.  We have been part of the local response to this growing need for almost 30 years.  CPAH began as a small grassroots organization at St. Anthony’s Church in Tigard and has since expanded its reach to grow our impact.  We now serve all of Washington County from Hillsboro to Beaverton, as well as SW Portland.  CPAH’s specialty is that we are committed to this place in particular.  Our home is here, and we want everyone to be housed with access to life-affirming services so that we all thrive together.

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion and prioritize serving communities that have been historically underserved. We build housing for people, provide trauma-informed services and building design, and prioritize lived experience. We believe that housing is integral to healthy communities and is a platform for individual and family success. We partner with community-based organizations, funders, and local governments, and especially with the people, we serve who are central to the work we do. We advocate for housing justice in the communities we serve. We protect and preserve the environment at every opportunity in our current and future buildings, services and workspaces.
