This locally-produced film by Dennis Daneau documents the recently completed Community Build Project, a grassroots effort to build 12 wooden tents for unsheltered residents in Jefferson County, Washington. The new village is called Peter’s Place and rests on the property of the Community United Methodist Church in Port Hadlock. It is the hope of the filmmaker that this inspirational film will show the way forward to others taking action to build sheltering communities of their own.
