About Us
About Our Place Nuestra Casa
Our Place Nuestra Casa provides support to BIPOC and all vulnerable community members living in Clark and Cowlitz County. We are rooted in services, support, and empowering community!
Recently, we've provided rapid response relief for families and individuals experiencing financial hardships due to COVID-19, including help with rent, utilities, food and other household items. We supported community members to participate in the 2020 Census. And we've acted as a referral partner for rent assistance programs.
Our Mission
Our Place Nuestra Casa Multicultural Center is a BIPOC-led 501(c)(3) organization. We are dedicated to providing a safe space in Southwest Washington to support Communities of Color and Vulnerable Community Members. We believe that People of Color and Marginalized community members are healthier when they have access to safe space led by us and for us, have culturally specific support, culturally specific services, and are steeped in providing that access always.
