The Friendship House is currently accepting applications for the 2023-24 academic year. Our housing is open to graduate-level students as well as undergraduates and post-grads. At this time, our housing opportunities are for women.
The house offers the opportunity for George Fox students to live alongside two individuals experiencing intellectual or developmental disabilities. The only role that a student plays in the life of individuals experiencing disabilities is that of a friend.
You can learn more about us here. (There’s a short video that gives an overview of life at Friendship House). You can also find us on the university’s Living Off Campus page.
Reach out to the Friendship House to request an application or seek more information at fhnewberg@gmail.com or 503-250-0113.
