Be the difference between homeless and no longer homeless

Last year, JOIN helped 758 people escape homelessness.  Each of these individuals has a story that is about much more than their experience of homelessness. They are artists, truck drivers, and lovers of baseball.  They are musicians, fishermen, and excellent cooks. They are our parents, our neighbors, and our friends. 

The gift you make today will help ensure that the next chapter begins with housing and continues in hope.  

Gifts between $15 and $100 cover costs associated with the first steps of the housing process: acquiring an ID or birth certificate, paying for an apartment application fee, or purchasing a Trimet bus pass.

Gifts between $100 and $450 help new households cover utility payments to ensure that the lights and heat stay turned on as tenants navigate a path to financial independence.

Gifts between $500 and $1,500 fund initial move-in support such as deposits, first month's rent, and last month's rent, literally opening the doors to housing.

Gifts between $1,500 and $3,000 allow JOIN to offer a more intensive level of support to households who are working toward self-sufficiency through an employment or long-term benefits process.

 


JOIN: 20 Years of Open Doors

JOIN's organizational mission is to support the efforts of homeless individuals and families to transition off the streets and into permanent housing.  Over the last two decades, JOIN's innovative model has helped almost 7,000 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 www.joinpdx.com. 
 
This is our third year of supporting this wonderful organization, and this year we're matching donations up to the first $500. We've set a goal of $2,500, because that's how much it takes to really get a household started and stable. Can't donate? JOIN can use dishes, small appliances, linens, and other items to set up a new household, helping hands, and warm hearts. Won't you JOIN us? (Sorry about the pun, but it was just too perfect!)
