Affordable Rental Housing

The first step in Hacienda's community development work is to build dignified affordable housing for Oregon's working Latino families and other recent immigrants. Hacienda buildings are more than just housing, they are places where families can live and thrive in safe, supportive, community-centered environments. + more

Community Economic Development

Microenterprise: Residents have the opportunity to participate in Hacienda’s Micro Mercantes program, a micro-enterprise development initiative providing entrepreneurial training and assistance to female residents -- often teams of mothers and daughters -- to start their own businesses. + more

Adult Education: Hacienda CDC partners with Mexico's National Institute for Adult Education (INEA) to provide an adult education curriculum for Mexican and Latino youth and adults. At these Plazas Comunitarias, students gain Spanish literacy skills, complete their primary and secondary education certificates, learn English, prepare for GED, and improve computer literacy skills. + more

Homeownership: Hacienda’s homeownership program is designed to help both first-time home buyers and homeowners. We offer home buyer education classes, financial literacy classes, and bilingual housing counseling. + more

Community Building

Hacienda’s programs promote healthy and vibrant parent-child relationships, helping children reach their full potential and giving parents the tools to support their child's educational and emotional development.

Early Childhood Education: Portland Niños provides early childhood education to parents and developmental activities for children from birth to age five, monitoring their progress and promoting kindergarten readiness. + more

Afterschool programs: A program for grades one through 8 that is designed to increase family participation, school attendance, reports of a positive experience in school, and high school graduation. In addition, the program focuses on reducing youth risk factors such as gang involvement, dropping out of school, and drug and alcohol abuse. + more

SSSES: Social & Support Services for Education Success (SSSES) is an off-site academic support program for at-risk youth providing case managers for over 50 low-income Hispanic middle-schoolers and their families throughout North and Northeast Portland. + more

Community Gardening: Residents at two housing sites in Portland and Molalla participate in community gardening at on-site garden plots. The community gardens exist for the physical and social benefit of the residents and are made possible through collaborative support from other organizations. + more
