Resource Library

Founded in 1997, ALSO provides comprehensive disability support services across the Portland Metro area, Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon. Their programs include supported living, residential care, employment services, and children’s services—all designed to promote full inclusion and independence. ALSO’s approach centers on building strong relationships and fostering opportunities for self-advocates to thrive in every aspect of life. Their work is guided by the belief that everyone deserves the same opportunities to connect, belong, and grow.

This resource supports future planning by allowing self-advocates to explore how employment and wages align with their financial needs. It’s a practical tool for setting goals around work, budgeting, and independence, especially when considering transitions to adult life.
