NORTHWEST COASTAL HOUSING

What NORTHWEST COASTAL HOUSING does

Northwest Coastal Housing (NWCH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affordable housing developer founded in 1991 and headquartered in Newport, Oregon, serving Lincoln County and the broader Oregon Coast. The organization develops, owns, and operates a portfolio of six affordable housing properties totaling 168 homes across the spectrum of housing need: permanent family housing (The Ridge, 80 units; 1995), supportive housing for persons with mental illness (Yaquina Breeze, 9 units; 2002), senior affordable housing (Golden Eagle II, 33 units; acquired and rehabilitated 2021), low-barrier emergency transitional shelter (Coastal Phoenix Rising, 38 units; 2021), transitional recovery housing for substance use disorder (Nate's Place, 35 units; 2024), and veteran housing with permanent supportive housing units (Blackberry Hill, 11 units; 2024). An additional four properties representing ~75 units are in the development pipeline through 2028.

The organization's core technology is a property management and development platform supporting AMI-restricted rental operations, with no proprietary AI or software features disclosed. Property management is executed via a hybrid model: NWCH directly manages three properties (Coastal Phoenix Rising, Nate's Place, Yaquina Breeze) while Pinehurst Management operates four (Blackberry Hill, Golden Eagle II, The Ridge, Tiny Home Village). Specialized permanent supportive housing and recovery units require referral-based intake through a network of 14+ partner agencies including Samaritan Health, Lincoln County Behavioral Health, ReConnections Counseling, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, ODHS, and CHANCE.

NWCH generates revenue through three primary streams: rental income from AMI-restricted units (typically at 30%, 50%, 60%, or 80% of Area Median Income), government grants and project-based funding (Oregon Housing and Community Services, USDA Rural Development, Oregon Community Foundation, Project Turnkey, LIHTC, county allocations), and individual/corporate donations. Capital funding flows are project-specific and episodic (e.g., $8.75M for Golden Eagle II preservation), while operating revenue is sustained through rents, recurring grants, and resident services contracts. Pricing is structured by AMI tier rather than market rate, with Section 8 vouchers accepted. The organization employs approximately 15 staff led by Executive Director Sheila Stiley with a Board of Directors governing operations.
