Breaking Barriers – Episode 28

In this episode of EmpowHer, hosts Nicole Graham and Tanya Dempsey sit down with Ivory Matthews, Chief Executive Officer of Home Forward, Oregon’s largest provider of affordable housing. Ivory leads a team of more than 280 employees serving over 18,000 households — work that is deeply informed by her own lived experiences.

Growing up with housing insecurity, becoming a first-generation college graduate, and breaking generational cycles of poverty, Ivory has turned challenges into a mission: creating equitable housing solutions and expanding opportunities for families across the country.

Ivory’s journey is both inspiring and practical, showing how authenticity and resilience can shape leaders who drive lasting impact.
