Letterfrom the Director

Dear Friends,

A “relationship” is defined is the way in which two or more people are connected. We all have rela-tionships-- we have short term ones like an interaction with a teller, ca-shier, or a passerby. We choose to smile and say hello, or to look down

and say nothing. We also have longer-term and deeper relation-ships with family, friends, and colleagues. No matter who we are or where we come from, our relationships are a key part of who we are. They enrich us, comfort us, and challenge us.

At JOIN, the concept of “relationship” is at the very core of how we do the work and why we think it’s important. It’s evident in our staff culture, in our organizational values, in our approach to the work of ending homelessness, and even in our fundraising.

The work of helping people get off the streets starts with relation-ships. We build relationships with people sleeping outside in or-der to understand how we can best partner with them to support their journey from homelessness to housing. I am continually im-pressed by the JOIN team and their ability to navigate complicated relationships; to be present and engage with so many people; to set aside assumptions and take the time to truly listen to what some-one needs to get off the streets.

To support these transitions, we also have relationships with part-ner organizations that help people re-build their communities and access the various supports they need to do so.

As a staff, we are very intentional about building relationships with each other. It allows us to trust each other in our daily work and have each other’s backs when the days are long or hard. Even as we’ve grown and expanded, we make sure to prioritize time with each other, much like a family, so that we don’t lose sight of what makes working here special. In the last year of being a part of this family, my relationships have grown and deepened.

We foster relationships with our supporters. We want those of you who invest in our organization, whether it’s with your dollars or your time, to know how your support is utilized and what a critical difference it makes. We want to share our successes and challenges with you in a transparent and honest way.

At JOIN, the concept of "relationship" is at the very core of how we do the work and why we think it's important.

We are in the midst of a very difficult time in our community – a time when there is pretty constant conversation about the chal-lenges of homelessness and the housing crisis. I am in many ways grateful for this heightened awareness because I believe it means that more people are engaged and figuring out ways they can be involved in solutions. My fear, however, is that amidst the noise, homeless people’s stories will be unheard, their hardships unac-knowledged, and their humanity unrecognized.

So if I could ask the community to do one thing, it would be this: engage in new relationships with your neighbors, both housed and homeless. Lift your head as you walk down the street and smile at people, greet them, let them know that you really see them. You will be surprised how people respond to a smile or a kind word. Learn their names and their stories. You’ll not only build com-munity in your neighborhood, but you will likely make some new friends along the way.

Thank you,

Shannon SingletonExecutive Director

I grew up in a community where, if I did something wrong, my mom knew before I got home. People knew each other, looked out for each other. I got into social work because I was taught that we thrive because of the community we live in. My mom regularly gave away my room to a friend or neighbor who was “down on their luck”. This rotating cast of friends opened my world to people with different experiences and life paths. I became enamored with lis-tening to people’s stories and building new friendships.

I got into social work because I was taught that we thrive because of the community we live in.

“Do you know what this means? I can now sleep more than 2 hours without some-one kicking me or throwing water over me.”

-Elliot(left), holding his house keys

“What I most like about having an apartment now is having a kitchen, a cabinet full of food, a refrigerator full of food and a nice little garden outside to make my home.”

"I'm proud of my story because everything that I've been through has made me who I am today. I'm happy that my stress right now is coming from my Business Communication class, and that I have things to look forward to like getting married and earning my degree! I was homeless for twenty years, after I started using hard drugs at age 12. I didn't have any self-respect or pride back then; everything was an unconscious deci-sion to feed my addiction. My apartment changed how I view myself and gave me the control to say 'No' to old influences. I'm proud of who I am and the work that I've put in to get here." -Mandy (left) with her JOIN Retention Worker and friend, Colleen

Everyone in our community deserves a safe place to call home and an opportunity to succeed. JOIN is helping an average of 10 neighbors each week transition out of homelessness and into opportunity, safety, stability, and hope.

For Mandy and so many others, stable housing is the catalyst to educational and employment opportunity. You can invest in opportunity with a recurring or one-time gift to JOIN at joinpdx.org/donate.

Home is the catalyst to opportunity
