Our programs, services, and real estate development are designed to help communities- and the people who live in them-thrive. We grow vibrant Northwest communities with our comprehensive work. DevNW's mission is to grow vibrant Northwest communities by empowering the region’s individuals, families, small businesses, and neighborhoods. To open doors to progress and equity and opportunity — and keep them open. We envision a future when Northwest individuals, families, and neighborhoods have access to financial opportunity, affordable homes, vibrant small businesses, and thriving, healthy communities. Our organization was created in 2019 when Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation (NEDCO) and Willamette Neighborhood Housing Services (WNHS) united. Together we have more than 60 years of experience and have now expanded our impact to better help our communities thrive in the long term.
