Central Park Neighborhood Association Micro-Shelter Initiative - The Central Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA) is undertaking an effort to help to address homelessness in Corvallis. CPNA is holding a fundraiser to increase transitional housing availability. Neighbors are working with Unity Shelter to raise $16,000 to construct, furnish, and place one micro-shelter at a managed site—the exact location is still to be determined. In the last few weeks, neighbors have contributed $7,000 to help get us off to a solid start with a goal of reaching $16,000 by December 1. CPNA neighbors and the broader community are invited to join this effort. Learn more.
