US AND THEM

Dallas Stamper - Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Let me start by saying Us and Them are not necessarily dangerous words; however, the can become dangerous depending on how they are used. For example when we refer to a homeless person as THEM and people with houses as US, I think we make a tragic mistake. You see by referring to a homeless person as them you kind of put them in a position where they are somehow different than you. There was a time that I used this type of language when referring to homeless people. but have tried to eliminate "us and them" from my vocabulary

I believe one of the strengths of PIN is eliminating the barriers between people who currently have homes and those who currently don't have homes. It sounds like a small thing, but I believe small things make a huge difference

PIN Housing Visits Today

Dallas Stamper - Friday, February 04, 2011
Today, I'm visiting all of the families that are in PIN's housing program. PIN owns 3 mobile homes and leases 2 houses from the City of Virginia Beach. Our houses all have families in them and for the most part they are doing very well. It is really cool when I get to see the progress that these families are making. PIN gives the families a safe place to get their lives on the right track.
