Enhanced Resident Services
Enhanced Resident Services (formerly The Giving Tree) is dedicated to enhancing the lives of under-served populations.
About Enhanced Resident Services
Community for Positive Aging provides custom resident services by contract with property management companies or property owners of subsidized housing through our Enhanced Resident Services Team. Enhanced Resident Services (formerly The Giving Tree) is dedicated to enhancing the lives of under-served populations. CfPA meets on-site with residents to develop an environment of trust, stability and community within affordable housing properties. The Community for Positive Aging is an organization where all belong, where we are neighbors in the process of growing older who support each other on our journeys.
Our Goals:
Build community connections & reduce isolation
Encourage socialization and good neighbor skills
Work in partnership with property management for optimal housing stabilization
Improve individual well-being through referrals and coordination of resources.
Our Programs
CFPA does not believe in simply handing out a box of food, a bus pass, and a list of potential employers. We invest in our residents and community members. We show them that they deserve to thrive, grow and realize their fullest potential regardless of financial constraints
To do this, our team schedules activities in our resident’s communities, providing a variety of programming, including:
Art classes such as craft-making for your apartment and seasonal gift making
Nutrition and wellness workshops;
Exercise such as walking tours to learn your neighborhood, to field trips to OMSI, The Oregon Zoo, Portland Art Museum, Lan Su Garden and Seaside.
Social events, such as game days, movie nights, community meals, and holiday celebrations; and
Volunteer opportunities and external classes throughout Portland
Participants in our Enhanced Resident Services’ programs regularly report improved health, increased community involvement, greater stability in their living situation, and a more positive approach to life.
CFPA’s Enhanced Resident Services:
Provides referrals to other partners and agencies to support residents
Develops materials and host social events to encourage participation on our programming
Customizes a package of classes and services, based upon survey data, tailored to the needs and budgets of the residents in each building
If you are a building owner, or property manager interested in learning about how we can assist with resident retention, building a strong apartment community, and enhancing your resident’s quality of life, please contact us for more information at staff@communityfpa.org.
