camp unity HAS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Thanks to generous and compassionate community support, Camp Unity Eastside (CUE) provided safe shelter and support for people in need for many years after its formation in 2012, promoting resilience, relationships, self-confidence, and hope.

During the past few years, Camp Unity was in a time of transition. Starting in Fall 2021, Camp Unity together with many partners worked to help residents sheltered at CUE get into permanent housing through a new federal housing voucher program. In 2022, 16 residents moved from CUE to permanent housing through this program. During that time, very few new residents moved into CUE despite numerous outreach efforts so the Board discontinued the shelter portion of the organization. After that, we connected with residents who moved to apartments via the voucher program to help support transition needs and maintain stable housing, per our commitment under the program.

The Camp Unity Eastside Board decided to discontinue operations of the organization. The organization closed effective June 30, 2024.

We are grateful for the long-standing support and generosity for Camp Unity Eastside. Because of your generosity and kindness, many people without homes have found shelter, support, community, and a path forward to greater stability.
