February 2024 Update
Wow ! We are busy. The 12 & 12 Village on Glisan has been open since September. Our pioneering village management team, Mandy & Caleb have moved into a tiny house at one of our new projects - a sober living mini-community on SE 70th near Flavel. They did a great job, continue to work for us as a Senior Trainee (Caleb) and our first dedicated Administrative staffer - Super Mandy !!!! The happy couple are also preparing to bring a new life into the world - in March ! City Team Alumnus, Alex has taken on the Village Manager position with gusto - accompanied by 10 week old puppy, Rebel. This week we began painting the 4 new units we are building under an employment training contract with the Joint Office of Homeless Services !

Pictures speak volumes:
Hygiene Pods
Our Double WashPod provided showers and laundry services to 60 residents of the OldTown C3PO Village for the first 18 months of COVID. We hired and trained residents from that village to build ratproof platforms and a security shack for their own community.
Alternative Shelters
Our tiny homes are insulated, lockable, well-lit transitional housing. Having a dependable place of your own to come home to enables people to secure their belongings while seeking services, training and employment.

After-school Workshops (12 & up)
