WELCOMING, EMPOWERING, SAFE HABITATION INITIATIVE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT

WeShine designs, builds, and operates neighborhood-based micro villages that provide safe, transitional shelter with wrap-around services for Portland’s underserved, unsheltered adults as they prepare to become successful tenants in permanent, affordable housing.

It’s finally here! At WeShine, Pride is everything . Our staff at WeShine is over 50% 2SLGBTQIA+ and the same is true of our villagers. Now more than ever we must show support for this community! Rainbows are beautiful and Pride Month is a celebration but we have so much more work to do for inclusion and safety for all our siblings 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈.

We have accomplished soooo much in just 4 years. Can you believe we built two more villages in just this last year? We built catios on pods at Parkrose and now we are the first micro village with catios and the first micro village to build a wheelchair lift! We have dramatically increased our community partners, friends, volunteers and supporters! 
Stay tuned to tomorrow for our 4th Birthday Bash fundraising idea! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎈🥳🎂🎉
