Vista Village
An Innovative Way to Support Unhoused People
Vista Village is proud to share that over the last few months, homes have been delivered, with furniture and materials set to arrive on November 16, 2024, and we will begin housing residents this January! This significant progress since the summer of 2024 marks a pivotal step forward in our mission to address homelessness in Columbus. The Village’s groundbreaking ceremony on October 26, 2023, kicked off this new phase, bringing us closer to our innovative vision. We are developing a community where unhoused people are given an opportunity to live in their own homes, expand upon their strengths, and develop the skills that will empower them to successfully transition into stable, permanent housing. Vista Village will consist of 42, 420 sq. ft. modular-built micro homes, a community center, a community garden, a park, and lots of green space. The Village’s goal is to provide safe housing and bring in supportive services to help the residents transition from a state of homelessness, marked by instability and insecurity, to a place of economic independence and permanence. Through our partnerships with third-party social service agencies, residents will have access to primary care, mental health treatment, substance abuse recovery programs, GED programs, vocational skills training, and other supportive services.
