We need YOU to Complete the Build!

teamMADE’s luminOCity house is so close to finally come home! The modules are currently “parked” in a lot adjacent to the property of Homeless Intervention Services-OC in Placentia, CA, eagerly awaiting completion of site preparation and final assembly in the designated backyard.

In order to reach the overarching goal in teamMADE’s pursuit to create a sustainable, resilient and functional ADU while lifting people out of homelessness, one final step is necessary. Additional funds are needed to build the foundation for the luminOCity house, prepare the connection to the utilities, and for the final ‘lift’ into HIS-OC’s backyard.

You can be part of this journey!

Go to HIS-OC’s website to learn more about HIS-OC’s Transitional Age Youth Shelter and to donate.
Please add “ADU” in the comments.

The Transitional Age Youth Shelter is a program designed to lift young men, 18-24 years old out of homelessness and help them overcome trauma from incarceration, aging out of foster care, and substance abuse.
