Alternative Shelter
Harrison Community Village
Updated April 2026
The Harrison Community Village on 1818 S.E. 82nd Ave. is a purpose-built 24/7 shelter. The site includes 38 tiny home village shelters, green space, office space for staff and participant services, hygiene facilities, kitchenette amenities and laundry facilities.
The future shelter operator, nonprofit provider Do Good Multnomah, will be running a clean and sober model shelter. Both participants and staff will be required to abstain from substance use that is not prescribed by a licensed medical provider, with random drug testing to ensure adherence to the program. The program consists of 24/7 staffing, personal sleeping quarters and access to hygiene facilities, and housing case management and abstinence-based recovery services.
