ABOUT

​The village is modeled after other effective self-governed villages like Opportunity Village in Eugene and Dignity Village in Portland. Those desiring to stay will go through an application and screening process where the rules and expectations will be clearly laid out. We want our guests to be willing to meet those expectations and contribute to the health and success of the community

HOW IT WORKS

SAFETY:

• The site is secured (fenced) and monitored by guests and volunteers 24 hours a day. All guests will be asked to keep 5 basic rules: No violence, no theft, no alcohol/drugs, no disruptive behavior, everyone must contribute to the health of the village (put in volunteer hours).

SELF-GOVERNED:

• The village residents participate in weekly meetings, mutual support, and community development, governed internally with the support of the governing body (Agape Village Board).

SUPPORT:

• The goal of the village is to provide a safe place to transition into permanent housing and a healthier life. In order to do this partnerships with other non-profits and social service agencies will be formed and those resources made available to the village guests.
