Impact NW has always responded to their community’s most pressing needs.

Formed in 1966 by neighbors in Portland’s Buckman neighborhood, community members came together to combat poverty and deteriorating conditions in Southeast Portland.

The agency was originally named Portland Action Communities Together, Inc. (PACT).

Early Impact NW initiatives included employment programs, family counseling, food buying clubs, and a tool lending library.

They helped develop Southeast Portland’s first Senior Center, Youth Service Center, and free health clinic.

In the 1990s, they piloted Multnomah County’s first Parent-Child Development Services program and the Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) program.

Throughout their organizational history they have always aimed to help people thrive and remain safely housed.
