Family Housing Program gets a Playground

On Thursday, January 8, 2009, ShelterCare officially opened a brand new covered playground at its Family Housing Program on Highway 99 in Eugene. At this program families with children who are homeless are provided crisis intervention services, 60 days to 6 months of emergency shelter, and support services. The program offers 17 units for families and houses a children’s program that looks after youngsters while parents search for jobs, seek housing, or take a few minutes to privately assess their situation.

The following local companies and foundations generously donated their services and money to help make this project a reality.

Bineham Construction
Bineham Design
Eugene Rotary
Oregon Community Foundation
Windermere Real Estate
Willamette High School
