The Sutherland Estates Project
The concept for Sutherland Estates came about after Chris Goodson, Executive Director of the McPherson Housing Coalition, realized there was a need for more long-term, stable housing for those in need. After doing research, she found that MHC could offer a more permanent solution and thus, the Sutherland Estates Project was born.
Similar to the Oak Harbor Cottages, the new homes at Sutherland Estates will be small one, two, and three bedroom homes, and slightly larger than the cottages. Additionally, they will offer residents long-term housing, as opposed to the cottages, which are used only as a short-term shelter for those with children.

Foundation work continues. If you look closely, you can see the tar-type sealant has been applied to the outside of the foundations. This helps keeps moisture outside. Images: December 27, 2023.
