Employing a thousand
members of the community
Portland Habilitation Center Northwest (PHCNW) is a Qualified Rehabilitation
Facility (QRF). PHCNW delivers contracted services in custodial, landscaping,
light industry and administrative services. According to the Portland
Business Journal, PHCNW is the sixth largest non-profit organization in
the region. PHCNW is not affiliated with any
social service agency. Funding from government sources constitutes less
than 1% of our annual operating budget. PHCNW operates on a sound business
principle: “Deliver consistent high quality reliable services and
the work will follow."

| Providing
choices PHCNW maintains a small workshop for those who choose a work setting that is more social than staying at home. We honor our roots and the choices made by individuals and their families. By developing contracting services, our efforts provide a positive work environment for individuals with severe disabilities. |
Beyond Limitations™
The growth of PHCNW is rooted in the individual commitments and efforts
of our workforce. By encouraging personal initiative, our theme, “Beyond
Limitations™," occurs when individuals achieve the unexpected,
continuously improving their work performance and delivering value to
our customers. Our success is anchored in quality checks of activities
and processes, as well as ongoing training.
Promoting Diversity
PHCNW serves individuals with a diversity of disabilities. Many non-profits
are able to assist workers with only certain types of disabilities. Many
rely on case management fees from families and agencies to fund their
work. Over 25 years ago, PHCNW chose to take a different approach in order
to provide jobs, not just advocacy. Our work is based on providing opportunities
to succeed and become contributing members of the community—earning
living wages, paying taxes, raising families and living independently.
