Lunch & Learn with Family Promise
Join us for a Lunch and Learn at the Tigard Chamber. Every 4th Tuesday of the month, we will have a different Chamber Member speak on a topic that they are passionate and knowledgeable about.
Join us for an eye-opening exploration into an often unseen crisis: family homelessness. Discover the stories behind the statistics, understand the root causes affecting families in our neighborhoods, and explore actionable solutions that can make a real difference. Together, we can empower ourselves with knowledge and compassion to create a more supportive and inclusive community for everyone.
Elise, a dedicated founding board member and now staff member at Family Promise of Tualatin Valley (FPTV), brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role. Previously with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, Elise championed their shared housing program in Washington County, facilitating client matches and program development. Her journey with FPTV now focuses on coordinating fund development, donor engagement, fundraising events, grant writing, and ensuring fiscal grant compliance.
Founded in October 2017 and operational since March 2019, FPTV is committed to assisting children and families in maintaining housing stability through landlord mediation and rental assistance. Our 55,000 sq ft facility in Tigard provides emergency shelter and wraparound services such as case management and housing navigation. In 2023 alone, FPTV delivered 39,270 shelter bed nights, over 98,000 meals, and successfully transitioned 77% of our households into stable housing. We've also supported over 500 individuals in retaining their existing housing
Outside of her professional endeavors, Elise enjoys spending quality time with her children and dogs, kayaking, and performing with the Oregon Repertory Singers.
