Many Lights is working to create Hope Lights, a multigenerational community where children, kinship and foster-to-adopt families, and seniors facing the challenges of aging live together in a supportive and well-bonded community.
Status: In planning

Many Lights Foundation dissolved in 2020. The vision of Many Lights was an intentional multigenerational neighborhood for youth who had experienced foster care, their adoptive parents, and elders. The children would have stable homes. Their families would receive support. Older adults would find purpose and connection through giving back. Though our vision was not realized, the good news is, other organizations are doing similar work. Bridge Meadows in Portland, Oregon is a great example. Please visit bridgemeadows.org to learn more.
