June Salon: The Barn: A Portland-Raised Building
MotiveSpace’s Next Neighbors Salon is coming up on Friday June 10th, from 4- 6. For this Salon we’ll be back in Daybreak Cohousing’s Common room, located at 2525 North Killingsworth. This month we’ll be sharing information with interested MotiveSpace friends and partners about the exciting project we’ve been working on this year – “The Barn: A Portland Raised Building.”
The Barn is a nonprofit support center with an interesting twist: the building is being designed as a strong asset building strategy for its occupants, neighbors, and supportive people throughout Portland. Using MotiveSpace’s Community Asset Funds program, the building will transfer the majority of its ownership to the project’s mission driven occupants and stakeholders over the first 7 – 10 years. Even better, the project will reinvest the revenue it generates above expenses back into its occupants – enabling a large fund earmarked for shared service programs, workshops, trainings, community space, and more. Please join us next Friday for an informal discussion and information session about where we are, where we’re going, and how the Barn project can support you.
