✨ Community Spotlight: Cleveland Commons ✨
This week, we had the opportunity to hear powerful stories from Central Oregonians with lived experience of houselessness. One story that truly stood out was Sheree’s — a reminder of the courage, resilience, and community support that make real transformation possible.

Sheree once lived in an RV outside Redmond with her beloved animals. Leaving them behind felt impossible, and like so many others, her pets were her comfort, her security, and her family. With the help of local partners, she was able to safely rehome many of them and move into Cleveland Commons, where her journey toward healing began.

Since moving in, Sheree has found stability, safety, sobriety, and a sense of family. She’s now an active part of the Cleveland Commons community and is even starting a nonprofit to make sure every shelter dog in Central Oregon gets a Christmas gift.

Cleveland Commons isn’t just housing. It’s a place where people are seen, supported, and connected. It shows what’s possible when communities invest in compassionate design and meet people exactly where they are.

One message from the forum that stuck with us:
❤️ “Be curious with compassion.”

Let’s keep listening, learning, and designing spaces where every person has the chance to thrive.

Thank you Shepherd's House Ministries, Mountain View Community Development, NeighborImpact, and Westside Church.

With over three decades of experience designing high-quality, dignified affordable housing in Eastern Oregon, we're eager to connect with community leaders and collaborate on innovative solutions that will shape the future of our communities.
