Klamath County has purchased a motel to turn into transitional housing. Officials are considering saving space in anticipation of wildfire season.
The county bought the Oregon Motel 8 and RV Park in Klamath Falls for $1.5 million dollars. It’s part of Project Turnkey, a statewide housing program that arose in response to the pandemic.
The property includes the 29-room motel and an RV park with 34 spaces. The county will work with local nonprofits to house unsheltered people in the motel.
County Commissioner Derrick DeGroot says leaders are also considering saving space just in case people need to evacuate their homes during this wildfire season.
