JOIN exists to support the efforts of individuals and families experiencing homelessness to transition into permanent housing. Our efforts are directed at individuals sleeping outside or in their car in the Portland Metro area. Our service provision is not dependent on age, gender, race, ethnicity, faith, culture, language, sexual identity, specific diagnosis, or identifiable issue.

- Values & Principles
JOIN is striving to become an anti-racist organization – because we are building toward a future that is inclusive and equitable.
JOIN is a partner – because we trust people to be the primary agents of change in their own lives. We reflect strengths and walk alongside people on their journey to stability.
JOIN is centered in relationships – because we believe in community.
JOIN is creative to conquer complexity – because the complex issues surrounding homelessness requires innovation and flexibility.
JOIN is ever-evolving, living and organic – because we are all continuously learning and growing.
- Equity Statement
JOIN is committed to preserving the dignity, humanity, and uniqueness of each person that we work with on their path back to housing stability. To achieve this, we will:
- Strive to ensure that all of our programs and services are equitable in both access and outcomes regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, faith, culture, language, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or family status,
- Operate with the knowledge that certain communities are significantly over-represented among those experiencing homelessness in Portland/Multnomah County and that there are disparities in outcomes for members of those communities,
- Pursue effective strategies and devote dedicated time and resources at every level of our organization to address these disparities.
These efforts are performed in service to the vision of a community where outcomes cannot be predicated based on a person’s perceived identity.
