Their efforts are directed at individuals sleeping outside or in their cars in the Portland Metro area. JOIN helps over 800 people each year move out of homelessness and into stable housing, providing each household with supportive services after they move inside to ensure their long-term stability. JOIN also operates a day center where hundreds of individuals and families access critical basic services that support survival on the streets and spark transitions into stability. JOIN’s 8 Person '''Outreach Team''' engages homeless individuals and families with children who are physically sleeping outside or in their cars. Outreach Workers work with people to identify and overcome their barriers to housing, partnering with local agencies and advocating with local landlords to open the doors to permanent housing. JOIN’s 5 Person '''Retention Team''' offers newly placed households the individualized support they need to succeed in their housing long-term. This includes job-finding assistance, benefits advocacy, transportation assistance, medical and mental health referral, food box delivery, and a variety of other services that support clients’ efforts to end their homelessness. JOIN’s '''Day Center''' provides critical basic services to 80-100 people every Monday through Friday. Services include restrooms, showers, a mailing address, laundromat vouchers, hygiene items, clothing resources, referral information, coffee, conversation, and a refuge from the weather. Many of the services are provided through a barter system where those accessing services exchange their time in return for what they need. JOIN’s '''Immersion Program''' inspires personal involvement by bringing together diverse elements of the community. Over the course of a day, a weekend, or a week, individuals can learn about issues involved in homelessness by engaging in dialogue with folks living on the street. housing join 2025-10-22T04:21:43Z 2460970.6817477 JOIN - Housing 0 info@joinpdx.org To contact admin staff (503) 232-7052 JOIN - Housing# de585b3965f20fbe2cd985e4d7dec3d2
