Jackson County has experienced a 132% rise in unsheltered homelessness. The State of Oregon is responding by providing grant funding to cities and counties to address homelessness under Governor Kotek’s state of emergency due to homelessness declaration (EO-23-02). The City of Ashland has been awarded a significant grant from the State of Oregon which has made this purchase possible.
