What are the responsibilities and job description for the HOUSING position at Relay Resources?
Why Work at Relay?
Relay Resources is committed to making a difference by providing everyone, including those with disabilities, access to meaningful work. We provide generous benefits and encourage people to take advantage of training opportunities and various pathways to growth.
We encourage people with a disability, or a Preferred Worker Card, to apply. Relay works with our employees to provide special accommodation, as needed. These are unique accommodations provided to our employees based on an individual’s needs which could go beyond ADA expectations, especially for those with non-physical limitations, such as mental health or cognitive disorders, to aid them in employment success, while expecting the completion of their work duties and commitments.
We also understand that stable housing can be a barrier to employment. That’s why we manage over 900 affordable housing units across the Portland Metro area.
A Culture of Love
We take pride in our community partnerships and helping businesses to succeed. But what sets us apart is our culture of love, cultivating a culture of acceptance, inclusivity, care, and compassion.

Our employees are at the heart of everything we do. Relay’s workforce is diverse and many of our employees experience physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. We’ve created a culture of love where differences are the norm. We see each employee as an individual and help them succeed. Everything we do is viewed through the lens of increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion, so that we can provide equitable housing opportunities to the community and help our employees thrive. This is reflected in our Housing team, where varied work roles, locations, and schedules are available. In fact, employees are eligible to apply for Relay’s affordable housing units.

We are committed to creating an inclusive culture, and we strive to provide equity in opportunity and benefits for employees of all backgrounds and identities, including disability, race, color, religion, gender identity, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, military service, marital status, parental status, and age. Relay provides competitive wages and benefits. Benefits for full-time employees include 100% employer-paid premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance, onsite accommodations and employee resources specialists, no-cost Employee Assistance Program that includes mental health and financial wellness services, 403(b) retirement plan, life insurance, and paid time off.
