28 Due to Winter Storms
The Joint Office of Homeless Services has set the
2017 Point in Time Count of people experiencing
homelessness in Multnomah County for Feb. 22 – 28,
2017. The point-in-time count provides a snapshot of
people experiencing homelessness at a given point in
time in Portland, Gresham and Multnomah County. It
is required by the federal government for metropoli-
tan jurisdictions that receive federal funds for home-
less services.
The count had been scheduled to begin Jan. 25. Or-
ganizers said today they are rescheduling the five-day
effort as unprecedented severe weather has disrupt-

Albina
Community
Bank Announces
New Leadership
Albina
Community
Bank and Beneficial State Bank are taking steps to
increase impact in 2017 with several key leadership
changes that build on the work of departing Albina
CEO Cheryl Cebula.
A 30-year banking veteran, Cebula joined Albina in
2003 and most recently returned the bank to strength
and stability after the turbulent financial crisis. In
preparation for Cebula’s March 31, 2017 departure to
pursue other opportunities, her leadership roles are
being assumed by Kat Taylor and Dan Skaff, co-CEOs
of Beneficial State. The bank became a majority inves-
tor in the recapitalization of Albina in 2013 and the
two organizations share a history of mission-driven
“beneficial” banking as Community Development Fi-
nancial Institutions (CDFIs) and Certified B Corpora-
tions.
The banks are integrating key functions to tap into
strengths and bolster mission alignment. Albina
leaders Sue Campo and Linda Merrill will take on ex-
panded roles as president and chief financial officer,
and senior vice president and head of retail banking
Pacific Northwest respectively, managing respon-
sibilities for both Albina and Beneficial State func-
tions. Randell Leach, president of commercial bank-
ing at Beneficial State, is now also chief credit officer
of Albina.
The changes come at a time of strength. Since Ben-
eficial State’s 2013 investment, loans have increased
by 47.1 percent to $118 million; deposits have grown
29.4 percent to $151 million; mission-related and
CDFI loans to nonprofits and start-ups, and minori-
ty- and women-owned businesses now account for
88 percent of its loans by number and 87 percent of
its loans by dollar; and its 45 employees have volun-
teered more than 4,000 hours since 2013 in support
of local nonprofits.
Portland Theater Companies
Participate in Ghostlight Project
On Jan. 19, Portland theater companies, includ-
ing Portland Center Stage at The Armory, Artists
Repertory Theatre, Oregon Children’s Theatre,
Original Practice Shakespeare Festival, PSU Stage
at Portland State University, Third Rail Repetory
Theatre, and Triangle Productions will join theater
communities across the country in hosting gath-
erings for The Ghostlight Project. Inspired by the
tradition of leaving a “ghost light” on in a darkened
theater for safety, artists and communities across
the country will make or renew a pledge to stand for
and protect the values of inclusion, participation and
compassion for everyone — regardless of race, class,
religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)
ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
ALL are welcome. Lighting events will happen at
several locations in Portland. Details are below for
events at Portland Center Stage at The Armory, Art-
