Doorway Project

Greensboro drew much attention from other NC municipalities this year when it built and opened the state’s first temporary structure shelter community called the Doorway Project at Pomona Park in late December. The Doorway Project is an innovative interim housing model, which consists of 30, two person, self-sustaining units with bedding. Two units were handicapped-accessible and restroom and bath facilities were provided. These units were disassembled in late March and stored for future reuse. While in service, 75 people stayed at Doorway, which maintained an occupancy rate of 92 percent for the majority of the winter.
