OPPORTUNITY VILLAGE EUGENE (OVE) GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY – AUGUST 16, 2013

After 1 1/2 yrs. of hard work, OVE got permission for the temporary use of a piece of city land to make a tiny house village for 30 unhoused people.  On August 16, 2013 they broke ground and because of numerous caring individuals, the village has become the great success that it is now! OVE is a model recognized nationally as a positive and sustainable solution for the unhoused.
