neighborimpact: “Hungry All Year Long” Program Benefits Many Local Communities - 06/16/09 01:42 PM
Many people familiar with NeighborImpact know only about the housing-related programs it sponsors (see my previous blog about its workshops for homeowners facing foreclosure). But NeighborImpact also provides food to 35 local food pantries throughout Central Oregon.
Three years ago, Laura George launched a small food drive in Central Oregon designed to help stock the shelves of the NeighborImpact pantries at a time -- in early summer -- when donations are slim. Back then, her goal was to gather 7,000 pounds of food (more than double what NeighborImpact typically received in the summer months, compared to 40,000 pounds during the Christmas … (2 comments)

neighborimpact: NeighborImpact Schedules Another Foreclosure Class - 04/13/09 11:44 AM

neighborimpact: Notes from the Oregon Homeownership Forum - 04/25/08 02:23 PM
Earlier this week, I went to the Oregon Homeownership Forum in Bend, which was sponsored by the Oregon Housing and Community Services, Oregon Association of Realtors and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Great idea: gather together lenders, real estate agents, builders and housing-related nonprofit groups, and discuss affordable housing financing programs available to Oregonians.
I was surprised, however, that only 50 of us attended (including only about a dozen Realtors). Considering the state of things -- a dramatically shifting real estate market, a dramatically changing mortgage industry -- the topic couldn't have been more timely, especially here.
