KLCC s Brian Bull reports on a new transitional housing site in Coos Bay, that has dealt with setbacks and even vandalism and theft prior to opening.
The units are compact and secure spaces for either couples or individuals. Tara Johnson, executive director of the non-profit Devereaux Center, said she and Coos Bay officials have worked to get this project off the ground to help the estimated 1200 to 1500 homeless people in the area.
Johnson told KLCC that with Coalbank Village now open, she’s enjoyed seeing how happy people are to have a place to call home.
