Colleagues, 
I gave up trying to make this a link - scroll down past the first fundraiser for the information on the Orting Veterans Village - they are about to break ground.  Folks working with veterans will be interested but also those of you looking at alternative housing models - this will be a village of tiny homes - be sure to click on their Facebook page.  Note the source of the land!

WE ARE CLOSER THAN EVER TO BREAKING GROUND IN PIERCE COUNTY!

For the past several years we have been working on building a tiny house village for 35 homeless veterans in the city of Orting. We know, we know, we keep talking about it coming soon but this time we are SO CLOSE!

  • We just received approval for our Conditional Use Permit!
  • We are waiting on some final touches with other permits
  • We hope to break ground within the next few months!
  • Check out our Orting Veterans Village page on our website and follow us on Facebook to get more updates!
  • We are hoping to open in the summer of 2020!


Huge thank you to our partners at: Puget Sound Veterans Hope Center, Community Frameworks, MSGS Architects, Buchanan Construction, Carriage Houses NW, City of Orting, Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Housing Trust Fund. It truly takes a village!

 

 

 

DO YOU LIVE IN THE TACOMA AREA?

Huge THANK YOU to the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP) - Tacoma Chapter for putting this on for our Orting Veterans Village.

GARDEN WORK PARTIES AT THE VILLAGE

 

Did you know we have a garden at the village? One of our die-hard volunteers Jill Severn (pictured) has worked extremely hard on our garden with a group of residents. They've planted everything from corn and spinach to squash and jalapenos. Garden work can be extremely beneficial and therapeutic. It also builds community and food security for those who have had limited access to both throughout their lives. 

 

 

 

Meet Eli! 
Eli is our new Case Management Intern from the Evergreen State College. They are managing our satellite food bank (did we mention we have a satellite food bank with Thurston County!?), and supporting residents and staff. They will be working with us through the 2019-2020 school year and we are so grateful to have them with us! Welcome Eli to the team!
 

 

 

SHELTON UPDATE
Things are moving right along with our Shelton Veterans Village project.
We have an address - 2471 N 13th Street!!! - and a lease with the city.
We are working on the permitting process and hope to break ground in the early Spring of 2020! For updates, visit our Shelton page on our website!

 

 

As always, thank you to each and every one of you. This village grew from an amazing supportive group of people who believed that everyone deserves to have safe and affordable housing. We are extremely thankful to be able to provide housing and support to those who need it. THANK YOU! We hope you all have a wonderful end to your summer!
