CTE program tackling Oregon’s homeless

Everyone Village, based in Eugene, acts as a temporary address for previously unhoused people who, thanks to Team Oregon Build, now have single-room, transitional shelters with a lock to call home.
Students across middle, high schools helping construct sheds, cottages, planters, and more
Although Constructing a Brighter Future has rebranded itself as Team Oregon Build, a new name doesn’t mean a new direction for the program.
In fact, it will be doubling down on its mission – to address the homeless crisis by building single-room, transitional shelters for unhoused people while providing youth the education and hands-on practice to later enter high-wage, high-demand construction trades – as it expands to reach all nooks and crannies of Oregon.
These shelters are delivered to local housing sites, like Eugene’s Everyone Village.
“When someone comes in Everyone Village, they’re coming from a season of homelessness, and they’ve lost literally everything – not just material possessions and a home, also their self worth, value, and ability to engage in good relationships and have community,” said Gabe Piechowic, co-leader of Everyone Village. “As they come into the village and begin engaging with students who are building their cottages and middle schoolers who are building their garden beds and picnic tables, they are automatically infused into a family.
