zAmya, North Loop Neighborhood Association and Avivo joined forces in an ongoing project aimed at establishing a shared vision in the North Loop of what needs to happen for all community members to feel safe, have shelter, and ensure support for the most vulnerable. 

One special outcome of the project will be a new play - made by, with and for - North Loop community members across the housing spectrum. This original musical will debut in 2025 and weave true experiences with unsheltered homelessness into a fictional narrative, inspiring neighbors to dream up solutions to end homelessness. 

Please join us for a mid-project community celebration of Avivo Village, which has successfully provided permanent housing for more than 200 individuals!

• Community Celebration: Acknowledging the achievements of Avivo Village in collaboration with zAmya Theater Project and the North Loop Neighborhood Association in a beautiful setting at North Loop Green 360.
