🌟🌟A HUGE MILESTONE FOR UNITY HOMES🌟🌟

We are incredibly grateful to share that Unity Homes has received our very first grant to help support our vision and future work here in Wallowa County.

This funding will allow us to engage in strategic planning, strengthening our foundation and helping us thoughtfully prepare for what’s ahead as we work toward creating safe, supportive housing for adults in our community.

This grant was made possible through a generous gift from The Ford Family Foundation, and we are deeply appreciative of the support that helps small, rural nonprofits like ours take meaningful steps forward.

Most importantly, this moment reinforces what we’ve believed from the beginning: Unity Homes is moving in the right direction. We are building something sustainable, community-centered, and rooted in long-term impact.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged us, shared our mission, and believed in this vision. This is just the beginning and we’re excited for what’s next. 💙

🌱 A Message From Unity Homes to Our Community 🌱

We have received many messages from community members asking about what housing Unity Homes currently has available and honestly, our hearts are so full knowing how many people are already reaching out for help, hope or just concerned citizens.

At this time, Unity Homes does not yet have houses open. We are a brand-new nonprofit here in Wallowa County and we are still in the very important stage of raising the funds needed to open our first home.

Every step we take right now is focused on making sure when our doors do open, they open safely, sustainably, and with the loving, structured care our community deserves.

The need for safe, supportive housing is real and we want to bring that support to our community members!

If you feel called to help us bring this vision to life, donations can be made through our website, Every single dollar goes toward turning this dream into real doors, real beds, and real hope for people who need it most.

Thank you for believing in this mission, for reaching out, and for being the kind of community that shows up when it matters. Together, we are building something beautiful. 🤍

💙 UNITY HOMES IS HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITY 💙

Unity Homes was created for our county and our local people for those who need a structured, caring place to finally call home.

We are here for: 🏠 Individuals whose parents can no longer provide the support they need
🏠 Those with no safe or stable place to call home
🏠 Community members who deserve dignity, care, and belonging

The need for supportive mental health housing is high across the entire state but our hearts are right here, in our small rural region. We opened Unity Homes because our community matters, and because everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and valued.

This is about hope.
Hope for stability.
Hope for healing.
Hope for a future where no one is left behind.

✨ Unity Homes is more than housing it’s a place of compassion, structure, and second chances.
Thank you for believing in this mission and standing with us as we build something our community truly needs.

🤍 Please like, share, and help us spread hope.❤️

⭐This right here is why we decided on naming our business Unity Homes!⭐

Unity isn’t about everyone being the same. It’s about choosing each other even when we’re different.

Unity is showing up when it’s easier to stay silent.
It’s listening when you don’t fully understand.
It’s standing beside someone not because you agree with everything they are but because you recognize their humanity.

Unity means we don’t leave people behind when life gets heavy.
It means we stop pointing fingers and start offering hands.
It’s community over convenience.
Compassion over comfort.
In a world that feels more divided every day, unity is radical.
It’s powerful.
And it’s necessary.
Because when we move together when we care for one another
we become stronger than anything meant to break us.

Choose unity.
Even when it’s hard.
Especially when it matters most. 💙

A message from our Executive Director 💙

I have dedicated a large part of my life to giving back to individuals who often lack the support they deserve. I care deeply about people, and I believe everyone deserves to feel a sense of self-worth even in a harsh and broken world.

With the support of our board and by coming together, we felt called to give back in a meaningful way. I wanted to help create a safe, stable place for people who may not need a high level of care, but who do need consistency, stability, and a sense of belonging in their home. That’s where Unity Homes was born.

This work isn’t just about housing it’s about restoring dignity. It’s about giving people a chance to break the vicious cycle that so many individuals living with mental health disorders are trapped in. I want to give back not only to our community, but to a system that desperately needs compassion, understanding, and real solutions.

Thank you to everyone who believes in this mission and is walking alongside us as we build something better together.

🏠🤝 As Board Chair of Unity Homes, I want to share that we are in need of community support.

Unity Homes is a young nonprofit with a simple but critical goal: to bring additional adult mental health foster care to Wallowa County. This is a grassroots effort, built by people who see the gap and are stepping forward to help fill it.

Adults living with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are among the most vulnerable in our communities. Without stable, community-based residential options, too many people cycle through hospitals, emergency systems, homelessness, or fall through the cracks entirely.

Our vision is to build a community-based foster home program that:

Expands access to 24-hour residential support

Relieves pressure on already-stretched systems

Helps prevent homelessness and repeated hospitalizations

And most importantly, saves lives

This work can’t happen without community investment. Every donation—no matter the size—helps move this vision closer to reality.

If you’re able, please consider supporting Unity Homes here:
👉 https://www.unity-homes-inc.org/donate

Thank you for believing in community-based solutions and for supporting work that truly matters.

Thanks and please share the heck out of this!!

⚡ First 2026 Update From Unity Homes, Board Chair ⚡

The mission of Unity Homes is close to my heart, and this is a full-circle moment for me and my parents, who have both passed. They spent years working at both the State Hospital and Fairview with the SPMI and IDD populations.

Later when I was born they began foster care for individuals with IDD in the 1980s, at a time when modern homelessness and behavioral health gaps were just starting to widen.

Watching the system devolve, and evolve, I’ve seen that we never fully invested in the community safety nets needed to properly house, support, and protect our most vulnerable neighbors once mass state care was no longer available.

Unity Homes in Wallowa County is now ready to fill that gap—but we need your help. We are looking for our first home. This can be a lease, a donation, or an owner carry—anything that allows us to start while we continue raising funds.

Now that we have stepped into 2026, the need for adult foster care and community-based housing has never been clearer. With your support, we can build more communities, provide real safety nets, provide pressure relief on the medical and emergency systems, and give individuals with Mental Health (MH) and Developmental Disabilities (DD) the dignity, stability, and care they deserve.

Every home matters. Every neighbor matters. Together, we can make sure no one falls through the cracks.
