New Building at 2870 W 10th Pl
What will the new building space look like?
We're in the process of getting layout renderings from architects. In the meantime, Blake, Director of Community Impact, offered sketches of his vision. (Cell phone users, swipe over the tabs to see all six.)
Central Meeting Space
Central meeting space for client programs, board meetings, training, seminars, and staff trainings. Flexible space centered in the middle of the building, focused on offering a place for community engagement and gathering.
Navigation & Outreach Office
Service navigation and outreach office for shelter and street outreach participants.
Reception Hall
Reception area for shelter participants accessing shelter and navigation support. On the north side of the building.
Pantry
Dry storage and grocery items for weekly supplemental food, food deliveries, and work party meal preparation.
Yard
The yard will host a Conestoga Hut, staging areas for property management manufacturing, and storage for firewood donations. This will also be our central area for Hut components and other heavy equipment.
Logistics Area
Logistics area for Safe Spot supplies, donations, and office inventory.
Access Center at 1845 W 11th Ave
We’re making significant improvements to the Access Center, including a covered outdoor seating area for year-round comfort, space for partner organizations, and added resources like a community garden, food pantry, and clothing closet.
Sands of Time
The CSS Access Center, which provides showers, laundry services, and a clothing closet, will become the new client check-in location. Convenient for clients!
Faces of Humanity
In Fall 2024, UO interior design students assessed the Access Center, which provides showers, laundry services, and a clothing closet to unhoused individuals. They developed recommendations for adaptations of the space to better serve clients’ ongoing needs.
