I moved here a few years ago, I was homeless at the time. I lost my job, but was able to keep myself afloat for almost a year while unable to find work the entire time. At the beginning of April I had a 3 bed room home and all the furniture and household goods that go along with that, my two adult daughters living with me and a mother. By the end of May it was all gone, I lost the house so my children had to find somewhere to go and mother died. My sister offered to pay for our bus fare to move here, my husband is from Eugene. We are not drug addicts, we are not alcoholics, we are not mentally ill. If we had to stay at the shelter, I'm absolutely sure we would still be homeless today because there is NO help for people who are not addicts or mentally ill and have no dependent children. You try finding a job when you have no address, no phone, and a 6pm curfew. Opportunity Village is the only reason we were able to have the stability to do what we needed to do to get off the streets.
