TALENT, Ore. —More transitional housing options for Almeda Fire victims are soon headed to Phoenix and Talent. It’s being called the Gateway Transitional Housing Project.
It’s a joint effort between the Talent Urban Renewal Agency, Phoenix-Talent School District, and Rogue Retreat. It was made possible by a $1.7 million donation from the state and another separate donation from Medford-based People’s Bank.
Rogue Retreat is bringing in 53 RVs to the site. It’ll be at the corner of Highway 99 and West Valley View Road. The Phoenix-Talent School District is working with families who are still looking for housing, to live at the new location.
