Easterseals Oregon

We’re grateful to have supported John on his journey to stable housing through our veteran and housing services programs. His story is a powerful reminder that it takes more than a job to end homelessness—it takes community, resources, and opportunity.

Thank you to Blanchet House and Farm for sharing John’s story and for the incredible work you do every day. 🧡

People often say to adult men experiencing homelessness, "Get a job!"

John first got a room at Blanchet House and Farm. Then he got a job.

You can't get a job without an address, a safe place to sleep, a shower, and regular meals.

Once John had a room, he found work at the airport. Next, our staff connected him to services for veterans. He just moved into his own apartment thanks to support from Easterseals & Easterseals Oregon.

A job alone isn't enough to end someone's homelessness.
