COMMUNITY SUPPORTED SHELTERS (CSS) – EUGENE SAFE SPOT ON ROOSEVELT AVENUE

The Roosevelt Safe Spot provides transitional shelter for 15 people at a time.  Eugene Safe Spot camps have several features that make it a very basic, but livable environment for people without other shelter options. These include (1) a set of rules that provide a system of support to it’s residents, (2) port-a-potties, (3) trash/recycling service, (4) a source of drinkable water, (5) a fire pit, (6) a small covered space for common use and meetings, (7) platforms for tents with covers for the winter months, (8) bi-weekly check-in meetings, (9) a useable address, or documentable location (not for receiving mail), and (10) an environment that makes peer and social support more of a possibility for peoples lives.
