"Our partnership with embedded PANOW Community Health Workers has allowed us to expand the screening of our patients for Social Determinants of Health and to provide direct outreach and connections to countless community resources in Clackamas County.

As Oregon's housing crisis grows, eviction cases continue to rise. Access to stable housing is one of the primary drivers of health and data shows evictions cause disastrous health outcomes. Project Access NOW is working to keep community members in their homes and out of eviction court, providing rental assistance to over 3,000 individuals in danger of losing their housing last year. The intersection of social circumstances and health care remains a critical priority for PANOW.

At Project Access NOW, we believe in a society where everyone has equal access to essential resources and opportunities. This February, during Black History Month, we recognize and celebrate the profound contributions of Black individuals throughout history while acknowledging the ongoing injustices faced by many in Oregon. The region's history, including Oregon's past discriminatory laws and practices, has created lasting disparities. Oregon was the only state admitted to the Union with a constitution explicitly excluding Black people, a legacy that continues to impact the present. This historical context contributes to the ongoing challenges faced by BIPOC communities in accessing resources and experiencing equitable health outcomes. Project Access NOW is committed to addressing the systemic barriers that disproportionately impact Black communities in Oregon. We will continue to advocate for policies and programs that ensure equitable access to health care and resources. Let us use this month as an opportunity to learn, grow, and take action towards a more just and equitable future for all Oregonians.
