The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners is seeking a volunteer to serve as a member of the eleven-member Board of Directors for the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority (NOHA). Tillamook County is represented by three members, who  include one County Commissioner and two lay members.

Direct recipients of NOHA services are eligible to serve. Monthly meetings are online, with occasional in-person meetings rotating between Warrenton, St. Helens, and Tillamook. NOHA pays a mileage reimbursement.
