I City of Ashland 20 E Main Street Ashland Oregon 97520 (541) 488-5307 Attn: City Recorder This letter is my formal letter of interest to the community of Ashland and in particular to the members of the Housing Commission. I am interested in filling one of the vacancies currently on the Housing Commission and/or the position of liaison to homeless/houseless of Ashland, Hello, my name is Nikki Pons, I am a recent graduate of Southern Oregon University. I attained a Bachelors degree in social science in 2008, Some of my coursework led me to directly engage with many of the issues surrounding homelessness in Oregon, the lack of housing options and the lack of services to homeless people in Ashland. But more importantly, I have valuable and very hard won life experience in this area that I know will shed some light on the issue and along the way, hopefully I can defuse some community fears as well. I have collected facts, insights and ideas for solutions from my experiences and the experiences of others, I want, no, I need to share these insights with all of you, I currently reside out of my car with my 9 month old Shepard-mix Elsha. If you have not read this article as it appeared on 2-14-2010 in the Medford Mail Tribune, I invite you to do so. This is me, in our world, I have been periodically homeless and/or on the verge ofhomelessness for 20 years, The frustration inherent to this maddening cycle (and it is a cycle), eventually led me to SOU, hoping I could improve my income potential and solve the problem once and for all. So far, it hasn't worked so much. But maybe this commission will show me a clear path that will get us to that point yet. I will never give up, The result of that Valentine's Day article was an outpouring of love from this community that blew me away, and this is what brings me to write to all of you today. I feel strongly that my community expects something of me, and I in turn feel happily obligated to meet that expectation, I attended the meeting Friday at SOU on homelessness and poverty, Attending that meeting and representing the Housing Commission was Regina Ayers, She noted that city policy is largely focused on preventative efforts. Prevention is of course the best policy, However, at last count, there were over 800 homeless people in Jackson County. Jackson County currently ranks sixth in the U.S, in the numbers of homeless people. Those are big numbers for such a small area, I will assume first of all, from the nature of statistical surveys of this kind that many people were not counted. I will also assume that some of these people live in Ashland and other outlying towns, not all of them are/were from Medford (But then, legally speaking, without an address we are not residents of Oregon at all), Whatever our numbers, legal status or nature, it is true that there are homeless people living in Ashland, who want homes, who are forced to travel to Medford due to the lack of services in Ashland and thus become de-facto "residents" of Medford. Displacing the homeless toward Medford via lack of services is not prevention; it is not even a humane option. I insist .. I that it is time for Ashland to accept that there is a problem and it is right here, Only then can we begin a conversation not only about preventing homelessness, but also about sheltering and restoring people to permanent homes when prevention efforts fail. About discovering and alleviating ordinances, public actions and system glitches that aggravate, extend and in some cases cause homelessness and about improving access to housing for the community as a whole through the building of housing appropriate to community needs, What is the city's responsibility to the homeless? What is the city's responsibility to the houseless? How are those two conceptualizations different/alike? Why and when do preventative programs fail? Why is meeting basic needs for food, shelter and clothing not enough? Does homelessness lead to mental illness, or vice versa? Aren't all homeless people substance abusers or spiritually/mentally bereft? How do we keep a few bad apples, those who simply want a free ride, from spoiling our basket of solutions? What is the logic and the history behind AsWand's resistance to building a shelter, even a day shelter? Why, with a population this big, does the Medford Gospel Mission fill less than half of the beds it is funded for? Why, with all the evidence in place showing that animals can heal and stabilize humans, do shelters turn away those with pets? What are some other factors that create resiliency to homelessness? Another 2-bedroom condo?! What are solutions that have worked elsewhere? Can we use or improve any of those models? What is or has been done to date? I do not simply come with complaints, nor do I bring an unwillingness to negotiate or a packet of unreasonable demands solely motivated by my own personal trauma. Far from it, I come with ideas for solutions, lots of them. I also have endless questions and a desire for other's insights on the subject. I need those so I can make these ideas work for all of us. Most, ifnot all, of these ideas are incomplete due to my own lack of understanding of the finer details, not to mention my as yet sketchy knowledge of the viewpoints of other stakeholders, I seek to learn from you, I do know that if I could harness that energy, the innate progressiveness, positivity and good will of Ashland to some of these ideas, we could make a few into workable, long term solutions. I want your help, and I know you could use mine as well. Together I have no doubt that we can cure homelessness, build community and provide innovative working models to other towns, AsWand has always been on the edge, in spite of its old world charm, it is one of the million reasons I love it here, I see no reason to break from tradition now. I understand the time commitment involved and I am willing to give that and much more, I have a good car and a phone with unlimited minutes, The years I have lived here have given me more in terms of quality of life than I have ever known anywhere else. AsWand is unique and very special to me. Please consider allowing me to attempt to return some of the love and compassion I have received over the years to this community, it is the least I can do. My resume follows and will give you some idea as to what I can do for the commission, what I need to learn yet, as well as show a glimmer of my potential as a full member of this community. I look forward to working with all of you, Regards, Nikki Pons I /, (/ j! ./h./. / L0/ / / '").)'..' .\~/, ~~/ \ / l' r \ / cl!dJ,{J/Q ) / ~ '- ? =<... ..
