Cottages of Hope

A collaborative initiative to address Lane County’s housing crisis! Building on the foundation & relationships of Sheds of Hope, we are partnering with EveryOne Village* to develop a reproducible model to sponsor and/or build a 16x8 cottage for $5,700.

There is room for 50 more cottages at Everyone Village. 23 cottages have been completed already!

Cottages of Hope work because EveryOne Village works.

Plans & Materials List

EveryOne Village

Everyone Village is a public and privately funded restorative community designed to transition people out of homelessness through holistic support and community partnerships that provide wraparound support. Visit the EveryOne Village website and review their strategic plans here.

Under the direction of skilled contractors, simple plans have been developed and a process put in place to multiply the number of transitional homes in Lane County for people experiencing homelessness. This empowers caring community groups with a tangible method to make an impact in Lane County’s housing shortage.

Cottages of Hope is organized by the One Hope Network and EveryOne Village, working in partnership with Lane Workforce Partnership, Lane ESD and area schools.

The network of community stakeholders behind Cottages of Hope first began with Sheds of Hope, an initiative birthed in response to the Holiday Farm Fire.  In two years, 26 businesses, 36 churches, and 12 Lane County high schools built 143 sheds for fire survivors.  It became clear to Sheds of Hope partners that the response to the Holiday Farm Fire, prepared the network to respond to this on-going crisis.
