Bringing people of all ages and abilities together to build friendships, share everyday life, and care for one another.
These aren't separate problems, they're symptoms of disconnected communities. At Miah Families, we believe in a simple truth: we heal better together.
Join us in building communities where everyone understands how to be a friend, how to contribute and how much they belong.
We don't believe one program can solve everything. We believe a connected community can change almost anything.
Proximity creates possibility.
Partnership brings it to life.
We're partnering with our community in NW Oregon, to build a future where people—not processes—become a primary source of belonging, care, opportunity and hope. We believe stronger communities are built when people know one another, contribute what they can and share responsibility for the wellbeing of the people around them.
Our vision is growing toward a Miah Families community care hub—a place where children, seniors, caregivers and adults with disabilities can gather, learn, work, create, contribute and care for one another as part of everyday life. Bringing people in and aligning resources with community partners we can heal together.
We're already putting these ideas into practice through Miah Meet-Ups across the Metro area. These gatherings do more than bring people together. They help us learn what our community needs, build relationships across generations and abilities, connect people to resources and practice a different way of caring for one another.
As we grow, we're bringing together neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, donors, investors, developers and community partners to help build the first permanent Miah Families home for this work.
Every contribution to Miah Families helps build a more sustainable future for adults with disabilities, seniors, caregivers, and families seeking connection, independence, and community.
Whether support comes through donations, partnerships, or shared advocacy, each contribution helps us expand community-centered supportive housing, strengthen resident programming, and create new possibilities for long-term belonging and stability.
We believe meaningful change happens when people build together — and we are deeply grateful for every person helping bring this vision to life.
Even for as little as $5/month you can help us grow.
We are not made to live separated from other generations,
organized into our own secret little spaces of big buildings
We are each others solution. Miah is here to prove it.
"It's clear that we must look beyond the traditional, siloed approach to truly meet the needs of people, particularly those experiencing complex challenges."
