The Fortitude Burns Veterans Village is a 20-unit development of one-bedroom townhomes for Veterans in Frontier Oregon earning 30%-60% of the area median income (AMI). This development serves low- and very-low-income Veterans in Harney County through reduced rents, amenities, and resident services. The development responds to the unique needs of low-income Veterans in Frontier Oregon, as identified by our development partners, he Harney County Senior and Community Services Center.

Trauma-informed design principles contributed to the planned development, with exterior entrances (no corridors) and many units with multiple entry and exit options. A large, central courtyard serves as a community gathering place for residents to spend time outside and foster community building. A separate community building provides indoor space for residents and service providers to meet individually or in groups. In addition, the Harney County Senior Center, Veterans Service Officers, and other local organizations will provide comprehensive resident services.
