Please Support Cascadia Clusters!
Cascadia Clusters trains and employs houseless people to build ultra-affordable Tiny Homes On Wheels & develop mobile hygiene facilities for government & nonprofit use.
Our Tiny Homes On Wheels (THOWs) are used in communities for people transitioning out of homelessness.
Cascadia Clusters needs tools and materials, wages and lunches for our houseless trainees, and funding for our professional construction trainer to continue our operations.
