WELCOME from Joy
Hello friends,
M. Jones, President and CEO
I carry the greeting of Transition Project’s former leader, George Devendorf. Many of you were last in this room in 2019, celebrating Transition Project’s 50th anniversary. Remember! Life was so different prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. While our world was collapsing around us, the pandemic put a spotlight on unhoused children, individuals, and families in our community.
My world was also different in 2019. At that time, I was living in the state of Georgia, another one of my adopted states in addition to Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, and California. Today, I celebrate being here with you, continuing the work Transition Projects began now 54 years ago. With your support, a mighty team of 300 staff support participants through a trauma-informed lens. Services include community outreach, shelter programs, and permanent supportive housing.
Did I mention that we educate families, so they can be successful renters? Rent Well, a State of Oregon-sanctioned program administered by Transition Projects, has educated over 2,000 future renters https://www.tprojects.org/get-assistance/rentwell. Completion of the certificate program gives families a leg up to engage with landlords and property management to achieve permanent housing.
You could have been anywhere tonight. You chose to be here - on behalf of the board of directors, our leadership team, our employees, our participants, and sister agencies, thank you for giving!
Next year, I will greet you in my Georgia tongue of Hey, Y’all.
the fullertons are a family in business, not just family owned

Imagine moving into an apartment with very few possessions. Often, people transitioning from homelessness into their permanent housing are starting over and need basic and essential items to make their apartment a home.

Over the past year, we have helped more than 563 people secure housing. But our work doesn’t end there. We remain engaged, providing the follow-up services critical to successful placements and ensuring that once housed, people stay housed.
Each laundry basket contains: kitchen items - plates, bowls, silverware, glasses, cups, pots and pans, cutting and paring knives, long handle spoons, spatulas, can opener, measuring cups and dish towels; cleaning supplies - sponges, broom, mop, dish soap, hand soap, allpurpose cleaner; bathroom items - bath and hand towels, washcloths, shower curtain and rings, toilet brush, bath mat; toiletries - shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, toilet paper, and bedroom items - pillow, sheets, blanket, coverlet.

HOUSED, NOW WHAT? MEET STEPHANI
When Stephani was a child, her parents divorced, and both moved to the Pacific Northwest. At age 11 , her mother became addicted to meth and at the same time, Stephani, and her sister began to experiment with drugs. Both Stephani and her sister went to live with their father in Vancouver. At age 17, she moved to California where she continued to use drugs. She didn’t consider herself homeless because she always
had a car or a couch to sleep on, but never had a home of her own. Pregnant, she returned to Vancouver, and her stepmother helped her get sober. She got a job at a hospital, pulled her life back together, and gave birth to Cor’Dai and then Jer’Zie. After a few years, she relapsed and began to use drugs again. Her oldest child moved in with her father and stepmother, while her second child stayed with her child’s father. That left Stephani on the streets living in a car first, and then a tent.
A Native American family member encouraged her to get treatment at NARA (Native American Rehabilitation Association). After treatment, she was referred to Transition Projects and resided at Jean’s Place, Transition Projects’ residential shelter for women and gendernonconforming adults. Pregnant and needing to find an apartment before Saya was born, Stephani’s case managers helped guide her, and she utilized the support and tools offered to stabilize her life. When working on regaining and living with her children and finding a larger apartment, she was guided by housing case manager Gail, to permanent housing. “She did all the hard work,” Gail said.
Today, Stephani has nearly completed her certification as a recovery mentor, and she has been sober and housed since 2017.
“My clean date is September 4, 2017, and I got full custody of Jer’zie on September 4, 2019, so I had two reasons to celebrate.”
Your donations and support help make her tomorrow possible!
Stephani is one of the thousands of participants who come through our doors each year looking for stability.
“The scariest and most traumatic event in my life was losing my two kids and living in a tent on the streets.”
