Walyaqil Tiny Home Village - Port Alberni

The Port Alberni Friendship Centre has partnered with B.C. Housing and the City of Port Alberni, in the spirit of reconciliation and address the growing homelessness in our beautiful, growing city. We recognize that the housing crisis is an increasing concern for many, along with addiction, mental health and the lack of affordable housing. We also acknowledge that "it takes a village" to be accountable to all our community members.

Our Walyaqil Tiny Home Village will provide 30 residents with a safe, warm, dry place to call home where they are respected and supported and can live with dignity. Each 8x12 ft. sleeping pod will offer a bed, fold-down table, electricity, heat and air conditioning. Our village will be staffed 24/7 and provide supportive services, onsite washrooms, showers, and laundry, which are crucial for people transitioning to a job and a permanent housing solution. The village will also have a community garden and other therapeutic opportunities for the residents to support healing and building a sustainable livelihood.

We are proud to share that our Walyaqil Tiny Home Village is well underway, but we need your help. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are at a standstill until we can secure more funds to move forward on the project. Please help us by donating today.

If you prefer to make an in-person donation, please visit us at 3555 4th Ave or call [phone redacted]. All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to this project.

Thank you, ƛ̓eekoo ƛ̓eekoo. We are truly grateful for your support in helping build a bright future for our most vulnerable community members.
