Sammy's Place - learn, grow and thrive

Sammy's Place - learn, grow and thrive Sammy's Place is a 501 (c) (3) on the North Coast of Oregon committed to community living for all. Great things start with big dreams. We are driven.

Our dream is to create community living, working, and respite opportunities, inspired by nature, with people who experience disabilities and those who share their journey. This dream started many years ago with the desire to provide respite for the family and caregivers of people with disability. After all, care giving is only sustainable if self-care is part of the process. The mission grew and e

xpanded when more people joined the effort. Our journey is both personal and universal. We are not only a parent, a caregiver and an aunt of a person with a disability, we are a team that cares about making sure everyone has a choice. We passionately share the vision of building nature-inspired housing where everyone is supported to learn, grow, and thrive. We are committed. We need your support. People who experience disabilities have the same goals as you and I. They want relationships, access to community, good jobs, and affordable housing of their choice. Often, on the Coast of Oregon access to these can be limited. At Sammy’s Place and the Oregon COAAST Network we are working to create more equitable options.
