Shelter Now!
We build tiny homes for the unhoused in Eugene, Oregon.
We connect emergency shelter, host sites, and social workers to help people get off the street and into stability. We do not have to wait, together, we can shelter now!
We specialize in designing and building efficient and safe tiny houses for the unhoused to find a place of solace and peace. We seek to connect with churches who are interested in hosting tiny houses for the unhoused on their land. We have built three such communities thus far, at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, St Matthews Episcopal Church, and the Unitarian Universalists Church, all in Eugene Oregon.

Our Programs
Rapid Family Rehousing
There are 100 families without shelter at this very moment in Eugene, OR. Could your organization join us in ensuring every child has a safe place to sleep?
Shelter Now builds tiny houses for unhoused families. Partnering organizations host the tiny home on their property and allow an unhoused family to use it as emergency shelter. St. Vincent de Paul provides the family with case management and finds them permanent housing within 90 days. You can help us secure a host site for our durable, charming tiny home and protect a child from living outside!
Single Occupant Shelter

We can help pair you with the emergency shelter, the person, and support you along the way! You can see an example of this model here.
