Thanks to generous and compassionate community support, Camp Unity Eastside has provided safe shelter and support for people in need since 2012, promoting resilience, relationships, self-confidence, and hope.

Starting in Fall 2021, Camp Unity together with many partners worked to help residents get into permanent housing through a new federal housing voucher program.  During the first half of 2022, 16 residents moved to housing through this program.   During this time, very few new residents moved into Camp Unity. 

 Due to the challenge of operating and managing an outdoor encampment with so few people, the Camp Unity Board decided to discontinue the shelter portion of the organization for now.   We need to honor our host and local government permit requirements for an outdoor encampment and were unable to do so with resident numbers so low.   

 The Camp Unity Board is considering options and the best way to continue to serve those without homes while also meeting the needs and requirements of church hosts and local governments.    As part of this transition, the Camp Unity Eastside organization will continue and stay in contact with residents who moved to apartments for at least one year to help support transition needs and maintain stable housing, per our commitment under the Emergency Housing Voucher Program.
