Please join us in this inspiring project to support veterans who are experiencing houselessness in Clackamas County. This project involves a unique collaboration between Communitecture, the Pickathon Music Festival, the Portland State School of Architecture Center for Public Interest Design (CPID), and the S.A.F.E. Pod, designed by SRG Parternship. The Treeline Stage at Pickathon was designed and built by CPID students using trusses from the S.A.F.E. Pod design so that the stage could be disassembled and repurposed to provide shelter. We hope this innovative collaboration will be repeated for future festivals.

The trusses will be used to build 15 sleeping pods that will be located at the Veterans' Village in Clackamas County. In addition to utilizing repurposed trusses, this project will provide much needed shelter and other services at a low construction cost through the efforts of volunteer work parties.
We invite you to participate in this exciting opportunity to construct shelters for houseless veterans in Clackamas County! All skill levels are welcome - training and tools will be provided on site, led by Born and Raised Construction. Work parties throughout October are generally Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1:00 to 5:00 and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 - 5:00.
See the link from City Repair for more information and to sign up: http://www.cityrepair.org/cc-vet-village/
For the village as a whole, we are working diligently on the land use review process, building permits, and site plan design. We are honored to be working with such great partners on this project, which also include Clackamas County, Catholic Charities, and the Village Coalition.
