From supported housing to employment services, we help Oregonians with I/DD build lives of independence and belonging.
From day one, ALSO has been building a network of support, advocacy and belonging for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Oregon.
Every year, these hours translate into meaningful, sustained support for 250+ people with I/DD across nine Oregon counties in a 360-degree model built around belonging and engagement.
From Portland Metro to Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon, ALSO's reach extends across a vast network, delivering essential services and driving meaningful impact throughout the state.
ALSO is consistently recognized as a top Oregon nonprofit workplace. Our team is 65% female and 30% BIPOC, grounded in inclusion, equity, and a culture where everyone belongs and grows.
This kind of longevity isn't accidental. It reflects a team deeply committed to heart-centered service and to setting the standard for best practices across Oregon's disability services network.
ALSO exists for moments like these. Stories from the people we support and the advocates who make it possible.
