Our Work
Over the last few years of learning, researching, connecting, listening, and planning, we have developed our mission to fill the void of profound and catastrophic loss of family which unhoused people have suffered. Guided by people and organizations who have created successful, life-giving villages for formerly chronically unhoused people and intentional neighbors called to live along side them, we are delighted to be the first organization to establish this innovative approach in the state of Maine. The perfect incorporation of permanent supportive housing and intentional community will foster a restoration of hope, family, and love which are the most devastating causes of houselessness.

4 Cornerstones
Permanent Homes
in a cultivated space
A village of adequate, safe, permanent tiny homes are thoughtfully arranged around a centralized common space to foster community.
Intentional Neighbors
After a process of thoughtful conversation, training, and engagement with unhoused people in the community, "resource-full" people accept their call to change their way of living and dwell side by side with formerly unhoused people.
Purposeful work
Villagers share in taking care of their community. Opportunities to assist in maintaining or developing the village or learn a marketable trade will provide fair compensation.
Supportive Friends
A cultivated team of peer and volunteer supportive friends honor and prioritize our Neighbors' meaningful
involvement within the village and greater community. They assist in connecting Neighbors to a network of community resources and accompany them on their journeys to meet their goals.
