Microshelters: Life in a tiny home
November 22, 2025
Step inside our Microshelter Exhibit for a rare opportunity to tour a fully built microshelter and see what life is like in a tiny, transitional home. In partnership with Unity Shelter, this exhibit shows that while a roof and four walls provide safety and shelter, it’s far from luxurious. The exhibit offers a firsthand look at the challenges and realities faced by those experiencing homelessness. Explore the shelter and connect with the everyday realities of those without permanent homes.
On exhibit at the Corvallis museum, during museum hours, until early spring.

Unity Shelter
Founded in January 2020, Unity Shelter was imagined as an umbrella organization for Room at the Inn, SafePlace, and Corvallis Men's Shelter to join under a single entity.
Since Unity Shelter's inception, the organization continues to grow programs and operations to meet the growing demand for shelter, respite, resource navigation, and community. By understanding the needs of the community we serve, Unity Shelter continues to meet people where they're at and walk side-by-side as people transition into safe, permanent housing.
Unity Shelter envisions a community where lack of housing or shelter is rare, brief, and nonrecurrent, and where all people have a safe and stable place to live, connect, and thrive.
