Welcome to OHDC
Oregon Human Development Corporation (OHDC) is a not-for-profit human service organization that has been providing services for farmworkers and disadvantaged individuals throughout Oregon continuously since 1979. The services include support, referral, advocacy, resources, assistance and education. These programs are funded through a variety of contracts with federal, state, local, and private funding sources.
OHDC's organizational structure consists of a decentralized service delivery system of 7 local service delivery offices throughout the state, and one in Northern Nevada supported by a central administrative office in Portland. Mission Statement
To promote economic and social advancement of farmworkers and disadvantaged individuals through the provision of education, training, advocacy and services that enhance self-sufficiency.
50 Years 50 Years of Service The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) serves farmworkers and their families because of a commitment made 50 years ago by President Lyndon B. Johnson to restoring our nation's fundamental promise of equality and opportunity. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Economic Opportunity Act were twin pillars of the "War on Poverty" to extend the American Dream to those who had been unjustly excluded. One of the key elements of the latter bill was the establishment of programs to assist farmworkers and their families with services such as education, housing, and childcare. Fifty years later, the NFJP program continues to counter the chronic unemployment and underemployment experienced by many working in agricultural labor.
