Southern Oregon is located in the Pacific-Northwest region of the United States and is one of the most spectacular places to live with a new scenery to experience, and explore with each changing season.  The picture above was taken at Crater Lake National Park, one of many popular places locals like to explore.

There are so many things in this life that feel out of reach, housing shouldn’t be one of them. I love living in Southern Oregon. As a wife and mother of three small kids and three adventurous Labradors we have picked the perfect location to raise our family. We are in the midst of mountains to climb and rivers to swim. Southern Oregon has always been home to me, so when I graduated from Southern Oregon University, I knew I wanted to give back to the community that helped raise me. One of our biggest problems we face in this valley is available affordable housing. I was hired in 2015 as a resident manager and lived on site at one of our complexes.

I quickly learned that every household came from a different walk of life and had very different goals on where they wanted their futures to take them. I was able to help each household by meeting them where they were at. In the four years on site, I saw many families save up and buy a home. I saw parents re-unite with their children. I watched people gain employment, and confidence and experience. I was witness to so many life changes. The stability of housing can make every difference in the world.

After a couple years with the agency, I knew that I wanted to work here for the longevity of my career. In 2019 I became an Occupancy Specialist. I get to work with a hand full of properties and hundreds of households. I love that our agency works tirelessly in bringing solutions to Southern Oregon’s housing crisis and I am honored to be a part of the team.
