The Grove Adopt A Cabin Program

The Grove is a tiny-cabin community providing emergency bridge housing for transitional-age youth (TAY) ages 18-24. Cabin adopters took on the beautification of a cabin for the youth involved in the program. The goal was to improve the basic cabins with a little more personalization. There was a basic set of requirements for each cabin, and the rest was up to the adopters’ imaginations. Thirty-three organizations participated in the program.

Cabins Pre-Beautification

Cabins Post-Beautification

Your favorites.

Each cabin was beautifully transformed. Every single one is a winner, and we asked our community members to vote for their favorites in 5 categories. The Grove residents determined “residents’ choice.”

The winners are:

Most functional/organized space: Cabin 49, adopted by Citadel Premium Design

Best indoor space: Cabin 27, adopted by The Hills Group

Best outdoor space: Cabin 49 , adopted by Citadel Premium Design

Most healing space: Cabin 49, adopted by Citadel Premium Design

Best overall: Cabin 27, adopted by The Hills Group

Residents’ choice: Cabin 47, adopted by Biletnikoff Foundation
