Portland Church Building 15 Homes for Homeless; Small Homes Located on Church's Oregon Campus

A church in Portland, Oregon is building 15 tiny homes on its 11-acre property as a tangible way to lift up the homeless in the immediate community and help put them on a path toward self-empowerment, the Christian Post website reports today (April 24, 2019).

Central Church of the Nazarene in Southeast Portland will officially open Agape Village this summer.

The village is a nonprofit faith-based initiative designed to provide substantive response in a community that is largely under-resourced when it comes to providing safe places for the homeless community.

"It started with the church's desire to more effectively love God and love our neighbor," Pastor Matt Huff told The Christian Post.
