Building a Permanent Place to Live—and a Supportive Community to Rebuild
Eden Village of Harrisburg is a nonprofit creating a secure tiny-home community for neighbors experiencing chronic homelessness. The land is secured, and we’re advancing site planning, approvals, and fundraising to begin construction.
Harrisburg's JourneyWHY IT MATTERS
Homelessness is both a humanitarian crisis and a strain on emergency systems. When people are forced to live outside, communities see increased reliance on emergency shelter, hospitals, and other crisis responses. Eden Village addresses this problem with a practical solution: permanent housing paired with supportive community and coordinated services.
Our goal is simple: make Harrisburg PA a place where no one sleeps outside.

What We’re Building
A secure tiny-home community—built on land already secured.
Eden Village of Harrisburg is creating a gated tiny-home neighborhood with 32 fully equipped homes and a community center that connects residents to wraparound supports and healthy community life.
Because the land is secured, we are now focused on the work that turns a vision into a livable community: site readiness, infrastructure planning, permits and approvals, construction documentation, and fundraising that makes it possible.
How We Get There
A proven model—and a local plan to build it here.
Across the country, Eden Village communities are demonstrating that small homes, supportive services, and intentional community help people move from survival to stability.
In Harrisburg, the land for Eden Village is secured. We are now focused on the work required to move from vision to construction: site planning, infrastructure design, approvals, and fundraising for development and build-out. With community support, we can transform an underused site into a safe neighborhood where residents rebuild their lives with dignity.
Help Move Neighbors from the Streets into a Home
Stability Changes Everything
A home makes healing—and progress—possible.
When someone is living outside, every day is survival: staying safe, finding food, managing the weather, and trying to rest. In that constant stress, it is extremely difficult to focus on mental health, physical health, employment, or relationships.
Eden Village creates conditions where change can take root: a private home, a secure community, and consistent support. With stability and belonging, residents can build routines, engage in services, strengthen life skills, and take steps toward greater independence.
Eden Village is values-driven and faith-inspired in its commitment to compassion and dignity, while remaining welcoming and respectful to residents of all backgrounds. Participation in any religious activity is never required.
