2018 Keynote Speakers
Social Services Director
Cascade Division
The Salvation Army
At 17, Josh joined the Oregon Army National Guard and was later attached to the First Calvary Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After six years of service, he earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling to become a National Certified Counselor. Professionally, he spent two years as the program director for the Military Helpline, a 24-hour crisis line for veterans, and over 5 years of teaching experience from Portland Community College and Clark College. Currently, he is the Social Services Director for The Salvation Army’s Cascade Division and provides consultation for all Salvation Army shelters in Oregon and Idaho. Previously, he spent two years as the Executive Director of The Salvation Army’s Veterans and Family Center, a transitional and permanent housing facility for veterans and their families. He spends his down time with wife, Chrissy, and two daughters, Mia and Simone.
President & Founder
OneApp
Tyrone Poole, founder of NoAppFee.com, didn’t develop his concept in a sleek Silicon Valley incubator. He developed it in a Portland homeless shelter, as a resident. Nine years ago, while training to become a fireman, Tyrone suffered a serious leg injury that put him in a hospital bed for nine months and on crutches for nearly a year. Upon his release he had lost everything. He was evicted, his car had been repossessed, and he had incurred over twenty thousand dollars in medical debt. After months of couch surfing he found himself checked in to the YWCA homeless shelter. This is where NoAppFee was founded. He worked as a housing advocate for the shelter, whilst being a resident, to find low income and homeless families’ places to live.
Kenny LaPoint, Assistant Director, Public Affairs for Oregon Housing and Community Services
Kenny has over 13 years of housing and community development experience. Prior to his service with the State of Oregon, Mr. LaPoint spent six years as the Housing and Resident Services Director for Housing Works, the Central Oregon Regional Housing Authority. Mr. LaPoint also served for over three years as a Homeownership Counselor for NeighborImpact, Central Oregon’s Community Action Agency. Other prior service includes Co-Chair of Central Oregon’s Homeless Leadership Coalition (the region’s Continuum of Care); a member of the City of Bend’s Affordable Housing Committee, President of the Cascade Chapter of NAHRO (National Association of Housing Redevelopment Officials), Neighborhood Partnership’s Board of Directors, member of the Community Advisory Council for Central Oregon’s Coordinated Care Organization and one of the founding members of Icon City, a Central Oregon non-profit organization.
