Everyone Village Details
Everyone Village is a collaborative effort to help extend the capacity of safe, legal shelter for people experiencing homelessness in our community with an innovative, person-centered approach. Lane County has one of the highest per-capita rates of homelessness in the nation with 80% of the unhoused population living in places not meant for human habitation. We are 24,000 affordable housing units short of need with fewer than 2 shelter beds for every 100 people living unsheltered.The City of Eugene received $3,250,000 in one-time state funding to provide safe sleep shelters managed by social service providers for people experiencing homelessness to legally park their vehicles, stay in microshelters, or sleep in tents and $250,000 for temporary camping site development.A portion of this funding source will cover sanitation and hygiene services, facilities management, and liability insurance for Everyone Village. Lane County will provide mental health and benefits assistance to residents. Mental health and addiction counselors will provide additional wellness and peer support services.By working with subject matter experts and the talents of our residents, we aim to develop successful cooperative business models to foster microenterprise.
