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.

Happy Disability Pride Month July 2025! At WeShine we recognize that folks with disabilities are often the last considered when we think about inclusion and accessibility. This is why one of our villages, St. Andrew’s Village, was designated for folks 45+ and older AND folks of any age with a physical disability. As always we prioritize those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and/or identify as Black, Indigenous or Persons of Color! You can see why Disability Pride Month is important!

Can you believe it’s been exactly one year since our Avalon Community Welcome day last summer? TODAY we celebrated with another Community Day with villagers, staff, board members, former villagers and beloved volunteers! Avalon you are a shining example of love and community and we are so proud of all you have accomplished!

WeShine is grateful that this day, June 19th, is finally recognized on our national calendar. Juneteenth is a beautiful celebration of liberation and freedom in the United States but it is also an important reminder of the things in this country we are not proud of. American history is complex and when we learn about and recognize ALL of American history we are less like to repeat it.
