  • Safe Spot Community Program

    SAFE SPOT COMMUNITY PROGRAM: FIVE NEW FULL-SIZED SAFE SPOT CAMP COMMUNITIES WERE BUILT OVER THE PAST YEAR. SAFE SPOTS INCLUDE SECURITY FENCING, A COMMONS BUILDING, KITCHEN FACILITIES, PORT-A-POTTIES, AND OTHER AMENITIES, SUPPLEMENTING UP TO TWENTY HUTS AT EACH SITE. THE NEW CONSTRUCTION ENLARGED OUR FULL AGENCY CAPACITY TO 147 HUTS IN EIGHT CAMPS, TWO MICRO-SITES, AND A FEW MINI-MICRO-SITES. CONSTRUCTION WAS FUNDED BY THE CITY OF EUGENE USING FEDERAL CARES FUNDS, DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY THE COVID CRISIS BUT WAS FURTHER EXACERBATED BY MASSIVE WILDFIRES THAT DROVE MORE PEOPLE INTO HOMELESSNESS.
