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.
Here is our wonderful Oregon Governor Tina Kotek @govtinakotek checking out one of our pods at St. Andrew’s Village! Did you know that WeShine will soon be serving 30 unhoused folks at a time? That’s right, 10 in each of our 3 villages! We believe in the micro village model because they fit neatly into cozy neighborhoods that are close to resources. Our pods are cozy too: heaters, storage, air conditioning and more! If you would like to help our mission click the link in bio to donate or check out our website to find out how to volunteer!

We keep going on about the beautiful St. Andrew’s Village but we have not shared these lovely new photos of the “undercroft” at St. Andrew’s! Beautifully remodeled to be the community space for our villagers, with kitchen, shower, bathrooms, meeting room, laundry room, community eating spaces, cozy living room! We could not have done this without our amazing volunteers and the phenomenal @homebuildersfoundation and their partners including the awesome @poicstories and @tivnu !!

It was a perfect day! Special thanks to our Governor of Oregon @govtinakotek for coming to visit her former home church. She made a phenomenal speech about the need for more affordable housing, how faith organizations can help and the importance of micro villages! We were also privileged today to have @councilpresidentepg and @rep.nelsonofficial We want to thank our amazing speakers today from Reverend Jennifer Creswell to Regan Schutz from @homebuildersfoundation and Neil Hennelly from @portlandshed.

Excited for tomorrow! Come see St. Andrew’s new lift in action! Our fearless leader, Jan McManus, St. Andrew’s church member, Carol Cushman, and our friends from @allinonemobility inaugurated the new lift. This amazing project has been an idea in the works at St. Andrew’s for over a decade! Now church members and our villagers can easily access the basement and our community kitchen!
