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.

St. Andrew's Village Sneak Peek was a Success!

Research shows a staggering number of unhoused folks also are surviving with a mental illness. We also know that the trauma from homelessness most likely stays with people forever. We need better access to mental health care for EVERYONE! We hope to shine a spotlight on the connections with homelessness and mental illnesses this month!
