Life And Success At Opportunity Village Eugene

Opportunity Village Eugene

It took longer than its supporters envisioned, but Opportunity Village Eugene finally got off the ground, and has a track record now. 

The village is a place for homeless people to stay while they look for permanent housing. 

It's a constant challenge for Eugene's large homeless population. 

We visit with OVE residents to talk about the many successes of the project so far, and about a plan to create a similar village.
