Future Projects - Coming soon

RESIDENTIAL HOUSING PROJECT

 Our Residential Housing Program is the second step in the Skoolie Foundation’s Mobile Shelter pathway. This initiative provides a transitional living opportunity for individuals who have successfully completed our six-month Mobile Shelter Program.

Through this project, we rent or purchase homes where rooms are transformed into shared dorm-style or barracks-style housing. Guests live here for six months as they reacclimate to residential living, learning the responsibilities and rhythms of maintaining a stable home environment.

All of our programs are designed to move our guests from a negative situation to a positive future. The Residential Housing Program is a vital step toward stability—it bridges the gap between temporary shelter and permanent housing.

At the completion of this six-month program, we continue to walk alongside our guests by assisting them in securing long-term, sustainable housing as they graduate into full independence.

SKOOLIE SHOPPING CART PROJECT

 The Skoolie Shopping Cart Project aims to partner with local retail stores to retrieve, clean, and return shopping carts found in homeless camps and other areas. By pressure washing and sanitizing the carts before returning them, this project helps clean up the community while providing employment opportunities and fostering stronger neighborhood connections.

SKOOLIE VETERANS PROJECT

 At the Skoolie Veterans project, our mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans by providing them with tailored residential housing solutions and fostering a supportive community environment where they can thrive with dignity and independence. Through personalized care plans, innovative housing initiatives, and collaborative community development efforts, we aim to empower veterans to lead fulfilling lives and create a lasting sense of pride and camaraderie among those who have served our country.
