BOARD MEMBER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We strongly believe at Quixote Communities that everyone deserves safe and affordable housing. We work to provide housing for our community members experiencing homelessness in Thurston, Pierce, and Mason Counties in Washington. We manage tiny house villages that offer communal living with rich peer mentorship and support. Our staff work side-by-side with residents to help them reach their individual goals and to connect them with various community services. Our houses are economically efficient, costing less than half of what it costs to build your average apartment. We also leave a smaller
footprint with our less than 200 sq. ft. homes. But the most rewarding part of it all, is that our residents are no longer homeless. Housing is a primary need, first and foremost. Once residents are housed, they are then able to work on other aspects of their lives such as education, employment, substance use, physical health, and mental health. This is no easy feat. Our residents are resilient survivors and we see their successes here every day.
OUR MISSION:
We provide permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. We create and manage tiny home villages that foster community, encourage personal growth, and promote access to the care and services residents need.
