“One of the many distinctive characteristics of EV is that our offices and gathering spaces are an integral part of the Village, which fosters a highly relational and organic connection between Villagers, staff, community partners, and neighbors. ”

“Everyone Village is more than a standard “transitional housing program” or “homeless camp”. It is an innovative site and program where people experiencing homelessness from Eugene, Oregon come together to experience community, heal, rehabilitate, and prepare to successfully transition into the next chapter in their story.”
