Last year, JOIN helped 713 of our homeless neighbors move off the street and into the safety of permanent housing. A newly housed family has limited resources to acquire basic household items like linens, kitchen appliances, and cleaning supplies. You can help by providing donations for these items that will help a household transform their new place into a real home.

JOIN's mission is to support the efforts of homeless individuals and families to move off the streets and into permanent housing. Over the last two decades, JOIN's innovative model has helped almost 7,500 people end their homelessness. Historically, 75-80% of households are able to overcome barriers and enjoy long-term stability in their housing. More information about JOIN's approach to the work can be found at joinpdx.org.
