Help keep our homeless friends off the streets and into a home.
Eden Village of Wilmington is a 31-unit tiny home community specially designed to provide permanent homes for chronically homeless individuals including patients of the local hospital. Many patients of the medical center experience chronic illness, which are treatable but require consistent living circumstances to improve treatment results. A home is an essential component to long-term health care for these individuals and a proven, permanent solution to chronic homelessness.

Solving Homelessness with Dignified Living
Housing the chronically homeless in Wilmington is an achievable goal.
Local homeless advocates count and track the chronically homeless through shelters, hospitals, and local police departments. They estimate that there are about 100 disabled and chronically homeless single adults living in Brunswick, Pender and New Hanover counties. Together, the Wilmington community, can address this focused challenge by housing them in tiny home communities.
