There IS Room in the Inn

The Inn is a home for up to 10 young adults, ages 18-30, who are in transition or in need of respite. Situation examples include unemployment, recovery from illness, and lack of affordable housing. Since its inception in 2014, more than 40 residents have benefited from life at the Inn.  For 2018, rent, utilities, and program fees total $515 per month per resident (sliding scale program available). An Inn Director and on-site Residential Manager/Innkeepers facilitate group living. There are some policies, requirements, and chores. Rooms are double occupancy. Residents can stay for less than a month up to one year.

In 2018 Yamhill County counted 1,386 persons living in shelters, living outside, or precariously housed (also known as couch-surfing.)
Oregon’s homeless population rose by 9% over last year
Newberg one-bedrooms rent for $950 on average.  Several months’ deposit and paychecks may be required, which is a large hurdle.

Safe housing is key to health and success, but the Inn may close at the end of November. Pledges and projected rent cover 61% of the 2019 budget. The remaining amount is $23,000.  If 75% of the budget has been raised, the Church of the Vine will be able to keep the Inn open.  All funds raised will be used to cover budget items for the Hillside Inn. If the Inn should close, funds will either be used to "launch" the existing residents or donated to the women's shelter at Love, Inc.  Thank you for taking the time to consider this small but vital ministry!

-Carrie P. Adams, Director of the Hillside Inn
