CPI Celebrates 10 Years of Service

Ten years ago this month, our executive director, Jennifer Santiago, and a small team of dedicated employees set out to establish a support services brokerage: Community Pathways, Inc. (CPI). We are fortunate to have leadership and staff who have been with us since the very beginning.

CPI first got its start as a program under the auspice of the Arc Multnomah-Clackamas. With Jennifer's leadership, CPI has grown into the brokerage it is today, serving over 450 adults living in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties in Oregon.

Our mission is to assist people with disabilities to live empowered, self-determined lives through community connections.

Guiding our growth, and the work we do on a daily basis, is a set of values centered around upholding the principles of self-determination for all people. We practice and promote person-centered thinking and planning, collaboration, compassion, support, advocacy, and empowerment.

We are proud of the support services model we deliver to individuals with developmental disabilities--fellow Oregonians. We look forward to serving our community for many more years to come!

If you are interested in supporting Community Pathways and its continued growth, please connect with us. We'd love to hear from you.

2018 Division/Clinton Street Fair & Parade

Community Pathways is a Support Sponsor of the 2018 Division/Clinton Street Fair & Parade being held on Saturday, July 21st.

As new kids on the block, Community Pathways is excited to join our neighbors in celebrating this annual event. We look forward to connecting with our neighbors and community in SE Portland. Be sure to stop by our booth. We'd love to say hello!

As a sponsor of the street fair, Community Pathways is glad to help promote Division/Clinton as a great place to live, play and work for people of all abilities. We are grateful for this opportunity to spread the word about who we are and what we do to assist people with disabilities to live empowered, self-determined lives in the community.

You don't have to be a resident of the SE Division/Clinton area to join in on the street fair activities. We hope you'll join us for this fun community event!

We Moved!

It's official. We moved to Seven Corners Collaborative in SE Portland. Now our team is in the process of settling into our new office space. We are grateful to be in a space that's more accessible to the individuals we serve, and to be sharing it with our partners Community Vision, FACT Oregon, and Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities.

If you're unfamiliar with Seven Corners Collaborative, it is a wedge-shaped building located on the southeast corner of Ladd's Addition, at the intersection of SE Division Street and 20th Avenue across from New Seasons - Seven Corners. The entrance to the building is on SE Ladd Avenue, and our office is located in Suite 220 on the second floor.

The building is easy to access by car, bike, and public transportation--buses 4 and 10 stop on our block, and the nearest Max Station is at Clinton St/SE 12th Ave serving the Orange Line. Street parking is available, and we encourage people visiting our office to give themselves 10-15 extra minutes to find parking. To help plan your trip using TriMet visit https://trimet.org/

We are grateful to share this new space with our partners Community Vision, FACT Oregon, and Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities. Not to mention: Nossa Familia Coffee is opening a shop on the ground floor. (Hooray for coffee!)
