Established in 2012

Community Works Project (CWP) is a consortium of two community-based organizations that delivers job search, skills building, and wellness services to TANF families (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) in Multnomah County. Established in 2012, we provide culturally responsive services to a wide range of communities and link all our members with relevant community resources.

We work in close collaboration with our funder, the Oregon Department of Human Services, and accept referrals through DHS Family Coaches.

We are located at the ODHS East County Self-Sufficiency Office and the ODHS Gresham Self-Sufficiency Office (maps). We provide services at all Multnomah County District 2 ODHS branches.
