Miller Nash LLP attorney, Brianna Morrison, has been appointed to serve on Bienestar’s Board of Directors. Brianna joined the board in January 2025.
“It’s been inspiring to learn more about Bienestar’s impact on local families,” says Brianna. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with the dedicated and passionate Bienestar staff and board members on ways to build housing, hope, and community for the well-being of those in need.”
Bienestar was founded in 1981 with a mission to provide quality housing to farm workers and their families due to substandard living conditions in migrant camps. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Bienestar volunteers began to address the need for housing and Latinx community services. The first community built in 1983 by Bienestar with support from concerned residents, churches, and partnering organizations, was Elm Park, located in Forest Grove. Since the development of Elm Park, Bienestar has added 13 other properties to its portfolio, and currently owns and operates 14 affordable multifamily properties for more than 2,500 residents. Today, over 95% of the residents are Latinx, and many are immigrants and/or farmworkers.
