While Home Forward Struggled, Its CEO Spent More Than $100,000 on Taxpayer-Funded Travel Over Three Years Ivory Mathews spent an average of 45 days a year over the past three years crisscrossing the country to attend housing conferences and networking events.

Thank you to City Council Candidate Eli Arnold for making me aware of this lack of accountability. Unconscionable to spend 100K on travel that should be housing people.

@homeforward.bsky.social just a quick follow-up question: did anyone from Oregon's largest provider of affordable housing read any of the 15 BBB reviews regarding Pinehurst Management? The reviews are less than flattering, and suggest patterns of neglect & abuse

bsky.app/profile/feed...

@homeforward.bsky.social sorry to bother you again, but can you explain why you have contracts with Pinehurst Management? Are people in affordable housing only worthy of property management companies rated F by the Better Business Bureau? Asking for some friends

bsky.app/profile/feed...

@homeforward.bsky.social excuse me, can you please point out which of your values includes stealing possessions of tenants in affordable housing?

Does it fall under respect & compassion, or stewardship & accountability?

Or is it collaboration & partnership, w/Pinehurst?

According to their website, the Pinehurst Management Ownership Team consists of a single person: Terry Wilson, lauded for his ability to raise rents

I'm just a layperson. How does raising rents help make affordable housing... affordable? Seems counterintuitive

www.pinehurstmanagement.com/about-us

Erik C Date: 06/14/2023 I was a live in maintenance tech. From the minute I started I was working on fixing back orders dated clear back to 2019 for these tenants that are 55 and older. I take pride in what I do and I do it to make the lives of the retired much easier to live there lives. But Pinehurst Managements owners do not care for the people who live in their units, who pay their bills. I have seen it first hand. I'm not tooting my own horn but 90% of the tenants said I was the best thing to happen to that complex since it was commissioned. I worked long hours for the people that lived there and the property to look its best. But then I was fired for a bad reason which is against oregon state laws and had 3 days to move out of the apartment my dog and I were living in. Which we are now homeless. The point of my complaint is this company needs to be held accountable for treating people so poorly, to the point where a couple seniors had been living in a wet molding apartment for over a year and wasn't addressed until I was put into this position to help, which was my main purpose and [redacted] And [redacted] took the tenants lives and my hard work and livelihood for granted all for money. [redacted] needs to be held accountable for deaths that have been caused by his negligence. Please if I can't be helped, that is fine but please help these human beings from being treated like they are nothing.

Mandi W Date: 06/21/2023 They have "good" sales people in middle and upper management. A company thats quickly growing- with horrible morals and ethical values. They do not have an HR department, IT, [redacted]. The place is crumbling from the inside out- and somehow staying afloat by suckering in property owners with empty promises (same with the hiring process).Dont expect equal pay, treatment, or honesty from this lot: they will do whatever it takes to make their page pretty. Sexual harassment, pay discrimination, meandering, and the list goes on. I wonder how long they can keep this up. Hopefully, for humanity's sake, not much longer.

Jeremy C Date: 11/21/2023 I have lived at the [redacted] Commons since [redacted]. Never had a single incident in my file. I HAVE seen and gone through every [redacted] and asst [redacted] from when [redacted] built this place. Back when we had the Crack epidemic and they put up a new [redacted] that is now that is now 23 yes later the place where many of our homeless very drug addicted to the worst drug ever used by a human being xyzylazine. It's slaughtering so many people and it's not a drug made for human beings. The [redacted] is one of a number of private owned, Federally funded Apts in downtown [redacted]. I have watched over 30 plus Mgrs and 50 plus asset [redacted]s or "leasing agents". many asst [redacted] There are some very good people in here trying to get by day to day. I have grown up with [redacted] and [redacted], and my father. Three people who have helped shape real-estate, of coarse the Goodmans made some good investments. [redacted] platforms on helping the homeless and new low income housing. I have a section 8 based apt that I HAVE watched in awe of the things I have witnessed at this address. People are to scared to say anything because of retaliation that can be impossible to fight. We have people living here and working here here. I'm disabled and put in for simple blinds that are plastic and there are boxes of them and we have a maintenance worker that lives here. I have not gotten drapes since 2015. My sink got fixed which is fantastic but the guy never came back. This is a hard building to work at because the police don't really care what happens up here so you know in the end, these buildings are privately owned. Federally Funded. NO matter what you pay as a tenant, something is getting x amount for your apartment. Am I scared of repercussions. Yes I am. It's one of the reasons I am writing this and I'm a very lucky and blessed to have a father that taught me INTEGRITY is everything. Shame on the people making a lot of money from peop…

Out of 15 reviews, there is not a single positive one - all of them are appalling, even the 5 star review. Reading these makes it clear that Pinehurst is a predatory company that has been profiting from violating the human rights of vulnerable people for many years

www.bbb.org/us/or/portla...

BBB Accreditation & Rating Pinehurst Management is NOT a BBB Accredited Business. To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process. Why choose a BBB Accredited Business? BBB Rating F Reasons for rating . Failure to respond to 6 complaint(s) filed against business . 8 complaint(s) filed against business

Pinehurst Management should not be allowed to remain a business - the fact that Oregon's largest provider of affordable housing has contracts with such a predatory company says an awful lot about how much Home Forward cares about people who need affordable housing

Hey Portland this is where your tax $ is going. @kgw.com.web.brid.gy @koin6.bsky.social @wweek.com @alissaazar.bsky.social

Tomorrow, at my apartment complex, the management is doing a "sweep" where anything left outside by residents will be gathered up and thrown away. Also , all planter and pots must be removed or they'll be thrown away. Anything planted in the ground will be covered in bark dust or killed. I wish I was joking. The complex is run by home forward, the management is Pinehurst. There is nothing in the lease that says we can't pant stuff. They say they're doing it to make it look better, but I don't understand how tearing up plants and destroying flowers and covering it with bark dust is an improvement. Last time they threw away bikes and grills. All perfectly Good stuff going to the landfill. They gave us 6 days notice, left it on our doors on Friday

The Ellington APARTMENTS April 03, 2026 Dear Residents, As we all know the weather will be changing and we will have more sunny days ahead. With the sunny days coming, The Ellington will be cleaning up the property, and we have scheduled a few projects that are coming up next week along with reminders. 1. On April 8,2026 we will be putting down bark dust all around each building. We will need all residents to remove everything away from the buildings, including plants and personal rocks. Any plants that have been planted into the ground will need to be removed and if not, the landscapers will lay bark dust over them. The Ellington or the landscapers will not be responsible or liable for any damaged potted plants and or plants in the ground. Residents have until Tuesday 4/7/26 to have all items removed. 2. The Ellington did a walk-through of the property and noticed many personal and non-exterior patio furniture being stored outside of the buildings. We noticed many BBQ pits on the property which are not allowed. We noticed trash, broken down items, and cigarette cup/cans filled with butts. All residents have until Tuesday 4/7/26 to remove all items or will receive a notice and all items will be removed by staff on Wednesday 4/8/26 at 8:00 AM if not removed by residents. 3. During our walk, many breezeway doors were propped. The doors are to always remain closed. Residents leaving doors propped are putting everyone else in the building at risk. 4. The Ellington is a NO SMOKING PROPERTY (Marijuana included); Smoking is allowed on the sidewalk. 5. All pets/animals must be on a leash and registered with the office. No breeding is allowed on the property. 6. All approved cameras need to be installed on the unit door

Opioid overdoses decline in Oregon for the second year Health experts say multiple factors contributed to the decline, from the increased availability of Narcan to crackdowns on overseas manufacturers

Opioid deaths across Oregon are in decline for the second year in a row, according to federal health projections, dropping nearly 20% in the 12 months ending in August 2025 compared to the same time a year ago, and more than 30% down from the state’s peak in May 2024.
