We're so close to the finish line. Will you help us get there?
Since breaking ground on our micro-shelter village in 2023, we've made remarkable progress toward creating a solution that works for our neighbors experiencing homelessness in Tillamook County. But rising material costs and unexpected expenses have left us $200,000 short of completing this vital project.
The Impact We're Already Making
With just our current limited capacity of 6 micro-shelters and a part-time warming shelter, we've been able to:
Provide shelter to 71 individuals last year alone
Successfully transition 8 people into permanent housing in 2024
Offer emergency warming shelter on the coldest nights when temperatures drop to 35°F or below
Imagine what we could accomplish with your help to complete our vision.
What Your Donation Will Fund
Your contribution will help us complete:
14 additional micro-shelters, more than tripling our current capacity
A 400-square-foot conduit shelter open 365 days a year for night-by-night sheltering
A no-barrier facility where anyone can find safety, regardless of their circumstances
A Practical Approach That Works
Our approach is built on proven results and fiscal responsibility. We understand the importance of addressing homelessness with solutions that:
Promote self-sufficiency - Studies consistently show that when the constant anxiety of finding nightly shelter is removed, individuals can focus on employment, recovery, and rebuilding their lives.
Strengthen community safety - By providing safe, monitored shelter, we reduce the negative impacts of unsheltered homelessness in our public spaces and business districts.
Uphold personal responsibility - We provide the foundation for individuals to take meaningful steps toward independence and contribution to our community.
A Smart Investment for Our Community
Research consistently shows that every dollar invested in homelessness prevention returns approximately $7 in reduced public service costs. This represents significant savings in emergency medical services, law enforcement, judicial system expenses, and other taxpayer-funded resources.
Your donation isn't just charitable giving—it's a smart investment in reducing the economic burden of homelessness on our entire community.
We Need Your Help Now
Whether you contribute $50, $500, or $5,000, your gift will make a tangible difference in completing this project and transforming lives in our community.
