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 Volunteer Appreciation Week 2025! Our volunteers put the SHINE in WeShine! Over the last year our volunteer numbers have tripled and folks were able to contribute to our TWO new villages! Want to join us!? We are gathering at St. Andrew’s Village for a volunteer garden party on Saturday May 17th from 10:00AM-2:00PM and we will be holding a volunteer orientation in June at St. Andrews!

We are grateful for @multco_johs for the hard work they have done in creating this dashboard for the data on homelessness in Multnomah County. While the numbers are dire we are not discouraged. WeShine is close to now sheltering 30 individuals with the opening of our third village, St. Andrew’s Village in north Portland.

Hurray! Today we loaded a U-Haul truck with “Move Out Kits” for our villagers for when they move into housing! Each kit contains 8 boxes full of household goods everyone needs to set up a new home! These kits were donated by the lovely folks at @assistanceleaguegpdx !! We love community partners and volunteers who care about our unhoused neighbors!

It’s Avalon Village’s first spring! The village guests have made Avalon so cozy and sweet with little plantings! Thanks again to @fpcgardens and @gathermakeshelter for their devotion to beautifying spaces for unhoused Portlanders!

Today at St. Andrew’s Village we met author Kevin Nye! @kevinmnye1 wrote the book Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness. We were happy to give him a tour of the village. He is in Portland for a few speaking events! Here he is with the lovely Reverend Jennifer Creswell, the vicar of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. WeShine would not be WeShine without our “Places of Faith” partners. It takes courage for congregations to discern and decide to open shelters on their properties and we are so thankful that this little church opened their hearts to WeShine!
