City of Bend Encourages Affordable Housing Through Urban Growth Boundary Expansion
We customize ‘no cost’ programs for our parents that educate and empower. The ‘on-site’ Embrace coordinators provide practical and much-needed assistance in a variety of areas that busy parents can greatly benefit from. We have developed and improved our services based on the feedback of the residents we serve.
By using a proven wellness philosophy, our coordinators can provide tools to help make the entire family whole, healthy, and happy.
Children are exposed to opportunities they might not otherwise receive such as homework club, computer labs, mentorship, and internships. We provide recreational and skill-building activities that focus on health, wellness, nutrition, physical exercise, art and music, and more. After school programs are a safe place where kids can receive academic and emotional support and learn coping skills and support one another. These services are offered at no additional cost.
At each property Embrace determines which goals are achievable and to what degree, depending on funding and local resources. These goals may include providing:
Activities to Build Community
Service Coordination
After School Programs
Health Programs
Educational Classes
A service coordinator is a safe person who residents can share their concerns, issues, and struggles with, resulting in greater quality of life, building resilience and stronger mental health. Our service coordinators are on site and therefore another set of eyes on the property itself, helping to improve both longevity of the property and increased peace of mind for residents.
Examples of Service Coordinator duties
Embrace Resident Services has changed my life because of what I have learned from the various presentation of the speakers that have come to our building have given much helpful info that is conducive to seniors.
My favorite part of living in Affordable Housing is the beauty of these gorgeously refurbished apartments. I’ve never had granite counters before and my granite kitchen-sink counter is eye dazzling.
My family and I are very grateful for the help you all have given us, like the jackets, Christmas presents, school supplies, and especially the food you give bi-weekly.
There isn’t one thing that you have done in this program that I don’t like. I get to do things that I’ve never had the chance to do before like make gingerbread houses or learn how to make slime.
At Northgate Terrace in Oakland, senior activities includes a lunch and exercise program, bingo nights and twice-monthly activity excursions around the city.
