Eugene’s Homes for Good celebrated the grand opening of their latest development, the Commons on MLK on Thursday.
The 51-unit four-story building is located steps from Lane County Behavioral Health, and it’s first floor is dedicated to supportive services. Not to mention it features trauma informed design elements throughout the property. Homes for Good Executive Director Jacob Fox said they expect full occupancy by May.
“This building is really unique frankly across the nation because it’s a permanent supportive housing apartment community for people experiencing chronic homelessness, but more than that it will house people that are frequent users of emergency services, Fox said.

GENEVA – A Geneva company is ready to convert tons of food waste into rich soil at a new facility touted to be a first of its kind a one-stop drop-off for everything that would otherwise get thrown in a trash or recycling bin to be hauled off to a landfill, including food scraps that at the facility will be converted by hungry worms into rich compost.
Geneva City Supervisor Ken Camera, an environmental advocate and member of the Green Geneva Committee among other like-minded groups, sees the project becoming a model for similar facilities certainly in Ontario County and surrounding communities in the Rochester/Finger Lakes region that is home to the three largest landfills in the state.
