Welcome to our latest segment of Furry Friend Friday! Jasper belongs to one of our Goose Hollow residents. His favorite toys include pencils, hair ties, and shoelaces. Fun fact about Jasper: his nickname is Jumping Jax because he loves jumping after his fishing pole toy 🎣 😸

We love to hear all the things our residents have to say about living with us! Thank you for sharing, there is no place like home 🏠

Do you need a place to study, have group projects or do you just want to grab a pumpkin latte? East Side Coffee Bar has private study booths, multiple power outlets, and seasonal drinks. They're open Monday through Friday and are a top pick of our Community Assistants!

At CHNW, we strive to support our students however we can. Thank you to KOIN 6 for highlighting the ARCS program and letting some of our students share their stories!

Want to know a fun fact about Marcos? He owns a pug named Penny Lane!

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

Please welcome Marcos to the CHNW team as our new Student Experience Manager! He was drawn to CHNW because he believes in the mission of providing affordable housing as a foundation for student success.

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

Marcos states, "As a first-generation college student from a low-income background, I know that I would not be where I am today if it was not for resources like CHNW. I promise to work diligently to ensure that every resident feels supported and heard."

Some of the statistics discussed during our May webinar with SchoolHouse Connection help paint a clear picture of the struggles that students face today. The ARCS Program's goal is to alleviate these barriers and support students to achieve their highest potential 🎓

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

As an independent organization, CHNW works directly with universities and organizations to augment their housing capabilities and services.

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

We serve as a key housing provider for students, providing alternatives to market-rate housing and limited available dormitories. Our rental offerings cushion the blow for students, with rents staying consistently 15% under market rates and rising only 9% during the same period.

It's Furry Friend Friday at College Housing Northwest! Yumi and Moki just moved in with us this summer at Goose Hollow and they sure enjoy getting into mischief!

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

Portland is in a housing crisis and we see it everyday. For students, the direct results leave them stranded and unable to focus at school or work, but it's not the only problem. As discussed in our May webinar, awareness is a key issue, and we need to create it.

[CHNW (College Housing Northwest) @CHNWHousing]

CHNW hosted a festive event at @Oaks_Park rollerskating rink this past week. As you can tell, a good time was had by all and we're looking forward to more summer events with all of our residents and teammates before autumn begins! 🛼

Amanda is one of our new associates and we want to welcome her to Teammate Tuesday! Amanda joins our leasing team at Goose Hollow Tower and Plaza and brings with her a wide array of knowledge from working with students in Michigan, where she recently moved from.

Please join us in welcoming Analysia to the CHNW team! She is our new program coordinator for the Affordable Rents for College Students (ARCS) program. What drew her to CHNW was the opportunity to be involved in a new and rapidly growing program.

It's Furry Friend Friday here at College Housing Northwest! Please meet Kia, one of our favorites at Goose Hollow. Want to know a fun fact about Kia? He will only wear a collar if it's pink and sparkly, anything else he will somehow take off and it will never be seen again.

Today's soundbite from our May webinar about affordable student housing with our colleagues at @schoolhouseconnection covers CHNW's ultimate mission and how we work to make it possible. Check out the clip below and stay tuned for more!

July is National #MinorityMentalHealth Awareness Month. Basic living needs play a major role in mental health for minority students who may already be struggling with the financial costs of a college education. A way to help relieve this struggle is to provide affordable housing.
