Eden Village is a proven model to reduce the number of homeless persons living on our streets and over utilizing our city resources. By placing them in a home that they must care, and pay for, their dependance lessens and our once homeless neighbors, begin to thrive. Our communities not only help increase property values, but also decrease costs to the city and county all while reducing crime rates. Through the Eden Village initiative, we will make Excelsior Springs a city where #NoOneSleepsOutside.
Solving homelessness can seem unachievable but the power of our unified community is limitless. Life in the gated neighborhood establishes a foundation of restoration and security as basic needs of shelter, safety and a sense of community are attained.
Partnering with Eden Village creates an environment designed to provide dignified living where individuals can heal and transform. Coming together in the true spirit of Excelsior Springs, we can make great things happen.
This concept of a tiny home gated community, built with a social courtyard and front porches on every home provides a safe place where those who have formerly been surviving, can now create a community and thrive. Eden Village includes a community building, housing support services, staff offices and a shared gathering space for community activities. This innovative approach provides a permanent and sustainable solution to homelessness.
