JOIN: Connecting the Street to a Home 2012 Annual Report Celebrating 20 Years of Service MISSION: to support the eff orts of homeless people to transition off the streets and into permanent housing

Letter from Marc Jolin, Executive Director

Dear Friends,

JOIN celebrated 20 years of service this year. There are many ways to try to capture what we have ac- complished over those two decades -- the thousands of people served in our day space each year; the more than 6,500 people housed; the cumulative housing retention rate of nearly 80%. But since fi rst becoming JOIN’s Executive Director six years ago, there is a quote that has exemplifi ed what I believe is most important about what JOIN brings to those experiencing homelessness in our community. Dorothy Day wrote: “We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.”

What we take fi rst from this quote is that, while many of us have never been homeless, we have all ex- perienced loneliness, isolation, and loss. Apart from a lack of physical safety, these are the three most central features of the experience of homelessness. Only by refl ecting on how these shared experiences aff ect us can we begin to understand, have empathy for, and off er truly eff ective support to people who are struggling to get off the streets.

Next, this quote reminds us that in the midst of all the counseling, case management, treatment, skill building, and the like, the essential element that is missing for many people trying to overcome the trau- ma of homelessness is love. And what does love look like? Love looks BOARD OF DIRECTORS like the JOIN worker who stands by a mom through months of heart- ache as she fi ghts to prove she is ready to have custody of her child CHRIS BONNER and the donor who allows us to say yes to the man desperate for help President with his rent so that he doesn’t become homeless again. Love looks SARA WESTBROOK like the church parishioners who monthly welcome recently housed Vice President people for an evening of games and karaoke and the girl scouts who RUSS CAMPBELL organize a holiday food drive so that families they’ve never met feel Treasurer a part of the season. ANNA PLUMB Secretary What does love look like? Love looks like a community coming to- gether to make each of us feel welcome and cared about. For the NATHAN BEATTY past 20 years JOIN has been helping people overcome the “long FINEKE BRASSER loneliness” of homelessness by connecting them with just such a MARGARET BRYANT community. We couldn’t do it without you, who in so many essential EVELYN LIU ways, help us off er hundreds of people eachyear a permanent place AARON NAWROCKI to live and a community to belong to. SHANNON SINGLETON CHARLIE THEUMA MICHAEL WISE PAULETTE WITTWER Tasha & David’s Story

Tasha and David (pictured on the front cover) met when they were living outside after leaving unstable home environments. In attempts to cope with the various hardships on the streets, they both started using methamphetamines on a regular basis. Their relationship endured, however, through their many struggles on the streets.

One day, David connected with Liz, an outreach worker at JOIN and Liz worked with David to fi nd a few diff erent housing options. After saving up and with Liz’s help, the couple bought an RV that became a safe refuge from the cold. The couple soon dis- covered that Tasha was pregnant. It was this discovery that motivated Tasha and David to end their drug use. As they said, “It wasn’t good enough to fi x things for ourselves. It took someone else really special, like our own baby, to motivate a change.” The two believed their baby did not deserve a transient life- style, and they worked hard to make sure that their baby would have a stable home. David continued his work as a Refrigeration Technician and they began saving money again.

“HAVING A BATHTUB TO RELAX IN, SPACE David and Tasha’s daughter, Ali, was born last FOR THE DOGS TO RUN, AND A STABLE PLACE May and she brought immense happiness to the family. Tragically, on one July morning TO COME HOME TO WERE GREAT CHANGES when Tasha went to check on the baby, Ali FOR OUR FAMILY.” didn’t stir. She had passed away during the night from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). David and Tasha were devastated. It would have been all too easy to revert back to using, but the couple remained determined to live a healthy life. Liz helped the couple fi nd an apartment where they could move in from their RV. “Having a bathtub to relax in, space for the dogs to run, and a stable place to come home to were great changes for our family.”

This past November, Tasha and David were pleased to fi nd out that they were pregnant once again. Their hopes for the future are to raise their new child in a loving home. “We want to keep moving forward, not backwards, and for our lives to honor Ali’s.”

VISION: a community where homelessness, if it exists at all, is short-term circumstance rather than a long-term or chronic condition

“That fi rst day, I just sat myself down, right here, with all that furniture that JOIN brought just piled around, and I just smiled and smiled and smiled. My face hurt from smiling. And then I just got to work putting it all away. I’m so happy.” -Mary, pictured below on her move-in day

• 487 individuals in 229 households move off the streets and into permanent housing, including 80 families caring for 154 children

• 149 of these households identify as chronically homeless, which is defi ned by at least one year of homelessness or four episodes of homelessness in three years and a disabling condition

• A demographic snapshot of all housing placements shows 49% female and 51% male; 57% white; 27% African American; 7% American Indian; 6% Multira- cial; 2% Asian; 1% Native Hawaiian

• JOIN fosters relationships with more than 250 land- lords/apartment managers in order to create second chances and open doors to housing

• An additional 271 individuals receive eviction pre- vention support when a job loss or cut in hours threatens their stability Historical Note JOIN hired our fi rst Outreach Worker in 1997, shifting from experiential learning to direct service. The Outreach Model - the concept of meeting people where they were at and walking with them on a path to home - was born out of the wisdom and ideas of homeless folks them- selves. JOIN wanted to reach those that were hardest to reach; those not accessing the traditional social service system. Today, JOIN’s 6 person Outreach Team engages hundreds of people throughout the community, helping them to identify and overcome barriers to housing. Sean & Jamie’s fi rst day at home Housing Retention

“Having a home again means having the opportunity to rebuild...rebuild relation- ships with family, friends, and children. Rebuilding a community.”

-Michael, formerly homeless friend JOIN’s Community Garden cultivates community, friendship, and of course fresh produce

• 76% of the households we help move into housing remain stable in housing for at least 12 months, establishing the supportive networks they need to enjoy long-term housing stability

• JOIN staff make more than 11,667 “friendly visits” to newly housed individuals, couples, and families to ensure they have the support they need to remain stable in housing

• The Retention Team provides a myriad of post-placement support including landlord advocacy, food box delivery, transportation assistance, medical and mental health referral and advocacy, furniture delivery, and more

• We remain in communication with 95% of the households we help transition inside, a testament to the enduring nature of our relationship-based approach

• JOIN’s Retention Team, in collaboration with community partners, faith groups, and volunteers, plans over 75 community-building events and activities to help newly housed people combat isolation and rebuild their lives

Historical Note In 2004, JOIN hired our fi rst Housing Retention Worker, recognizing that most households needed a more intensive level of support to remain stable once they had transitioned into housing. Today, JOIN’s fi ve person housing retention team provides housing stabilization support to over 250 house- holds each year, visiting people in their homes to provide job-fi nding assistance, transportation as- Picking up furniture at The Community sistance, landlord advocacy, relational support, Warehouse on move-in day and much more. The “House” : Basic Services

• 80-100 people access a robust set of services each day including showers, restrooms, mail service, internet, laundry vouchers, storage lockers, pet food, hygiene items, cold weather gear, and more

• About 150 folks that have been housed by JOIN visit the House regularly to connect with their communities or access services

• The dedicated family area provides safe Staff and volunteers provide visitors to the House space for homeless families with children with critical basic services and a refuge from the weather, as well as friendship and conversation

Onsite partner services include:

• Outside In Medical Van - free medical care

• 7 Mountains Acupuncture Clinic - free acupuncture

• DHS - food stamp and TANF application assistance

• Central City Concern - employment assistance

• Benefi t Advocacy Coalition - disability benefi ts advocacy

• New City Initiative - community building opportunities services at the House are provided through a barter system that allows • Hair stylists - free hair cuts visitors to invest their time and work while fostering dignity

Historical Note In 1998, JOIN opened the House – using a time dollar barter system to exchange time worked for the services desired. We eventually relocated to a converted warehouse in the Brooklyn neighbor- hood where we expanded services. Prompted by Tri-Met’s need to run the new Milwaukie light rail line across our property, JOIN began a capital campaign to acquire a new 12,000 sq. ft. building on NE 81st and Halsey. In 2010, we moved in and have seen our provision of basic services nearly quadruple in the three years we have called this House our home. Immersion Program

• 300 youth and adults immerse themselves in the experience of homelessness through JOIN’s unique experiential learning opportunities

• 25 Portland area youth participate in the 31st Annual Portland Plunge - a week long immer- sion into the experience of homelessness in Immersion participants learn about homelessness from the people experiencing it

“The JOIN immersion program has been one of my favorite service experiences and most memorable college experiences. I was totally blown away by the wonderful people I encountered and how heavily biased I was toward these people I had not even met. After only one short day of taking public transportation, scrambling to fi nd something to eat, searching for public restrooms, fi guring out the streets, and constantly wondering what we had to do next while having frozen hands and feet - I was completely drained. This experience was invaluable and has changed me far more than I had expected.”

-Immersion participant from George Fox University

Historical Note In 1992, a group of twenty social-justice mind- ed friends came together to develop a vision for a new experiential education project aimed at bridging the gap of understanding between the housed and homeless communities. JOIN – Justice Education, Outreach, Immersion, and Networking – was born. Though we shifted our Homeless and formerly homeless folks facilitate focus to housing placement, JOIN continues to JOIN immersions. Our friend Buck has been lead immersions for hundreds of students, helping educate participants for over a decade. social workers, and others each year. 2012 AT A GLANCE: Financials
