Careers & Internships
CASA of Oregon (CASA) began its work more than 30 years ago by supporting local organizations that provide housing for farmworkers and other populations who have been marginalized in primarily rural areas throughout the state. Today, we enhance economic and housing security for Oregonians in need by working in four key areas:
Manufactured Housing Cooperative Development Center (MHCDC) – We develop and support manufactured-home community resident-cooperatives through organizing, training, and technical assistance. We also support the negotiation and oversight of the purchase and financing. Real Estate Development (RED) – We partner with local community organizations and nonprofit housing sponsors to increase the stock of—and improve existing—affordable rental housing and community facilities. We serve as a developer, consultant, and technical assistance provider. Family Economic Opportunity (FEO) – We partner with local agencies to administer Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), which enable individuals and households with limited financial resources to save and build assets at an accelerated pace through a match savings program.
Community Loan Fund (CLF) – We provide financing to support the development and preservation of affordable housing and community facilities. Loans provided include predevelopment, construction, bridge and secondary permanent financing.
EQUITY, DIVERSITY and INCLUSION
As advocates, consultants, organizers, and agents for change, at CASA, we believe that racial equity, diversity and inclusion should manifest at all levels of our programs. Through collaboration, we aim to build hope, homes, and financial health to both heal and strengthen our communities throughout the state of Oregon.
We continually examine our role in perpetuating and combating systems of oppression because we recognize that the communities we serve face many societal inequities. We acknowledge the history and ongoing impacts of racism and inequality in our country, state and institutions, and work to be part of the solution.
We celebrate the identities of all involved with CASA, past and present, and respect the race, ethnicity, ancestry, color, size, (dis)ability, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geographic location, citizenship status, criminal background, religious background, marital status, military status, strengths and differences of all people.
We acknowledge that we always have room to grow in our understanding of racism and oppression, and we commit ourselves to aligning our policies and practices to advance racial equity, inclusion and freedom of expression.
CASA is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and veteran or (dis)ability status. CASA of Oregon also complies with federal and state (dis)ability laws and makes reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with (dis)abilities. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and/or to receive other benefits and privileges of employment, please contact the department manager.
