A nonprofit organization, Rogue Retreat, is in the works of buying The Redwood Inn, 722 N. Riverside Ave., and turn it into a "homeless hotel" which will contain 47 units with kitchens. Rogue Retreat executive director, Chad McComas, is hoping to finalize the purchase of the hotel by March 19th, and then finish remodeling it "in a few months". The organization is also working with Providence to create four recuperative care rooms, with the use of another grant. On top of that, there will be rooms dedicated to fire survivors, as part of the Project Turnkey grant. Both COVID-19 and the Almeda fire has made the homeless crisis in Jackson County much worse. Getting this project in the works would greatly help combat the homeless crisis that Jackson county has. What Rogue Retreat is doing is a great idea and hopefully other cities will take on this type of project.
