Grant presented to NeighborImpact Opens Doors to Housing
In 2021, Sunriver Women’s Club provided a $3,000 grant to NeighborImpact to aid people in South Deschutes County who encounter difficulties in securing family housing due to financial barriers. The barriers are often the debts of prospective tenants. Landlords fear tenants who are in debt may not be able to pay their rent.
NeighborImpact offers a program called “Barrier Busters” which removes two primary obstacles that affect clients’ access to housing: property debt (unpaid rent) and utility debt. These debts most often trigger automatic denials of rental applications, and consequently, bar access to housing. They appear on a special credit report that property owners and managers obtain with applications. Once the program pays that debt, it will disappear from the applicants’ credit histories. Barrier Busters can open doors to housing, literally.
NeighborImpact works with other entities such as Family Advocate Network, La Pine Community Kitchen, La Pine Health Center and Head Start in La Pine to identify families who are having difficulties.
NeighborImpact’s mission is “to support people and strengthen communities.” It is a nonprofit that provides emergency food programs, housing and homeless services, energy assistance, childcare provider resources, early childhood education services, and financial capability programs for financially struggling individuals and families throughout Central Oregon. More information about the broad range of services they provide can be found
In Case You Missed It!
Friends of the Children Central Oregon, one of our nonprofit partners, received a $1.4 million transformational grant from MacKenzie Scott. This comes after two recent SRWC Community Grants helped this innovative organization expand into the La Pine area for the first time.
SRWC Community Grant Deadline is Sept. 15
The Sunriver Women’s Club (SRWC) invites proposals, using its online application, from qualified tax-exempt organizations or public schools serving residents of South Deschutes County (e.g., Sunriver, Three Rivers, La Pine). This is the first time SRWC is accepting applications from public schools directly. Applicants should read the purpose and priorities of the SRWC on the website, as well as eligibility requirements and reporting considerations prior to applying.
