The city of Ashland is opening an urban campground, which will mirror this existing one in Medford.
Ashland is soon opening an urban campground for unsheltered people. Homeless advocates say this is part of a trend of smaller communities welcoming alternative shelters.
The city of Ashland got a $300,000 grant to open an urban campground by June. It’ll provide a place where unhoused people can sleep in tents and have access to restrooms and showers as they seek more stable housing.
The Medford-based nonprofit Rogue Retreat will manage the camp and help people connect with resources they need. It’s been running a similar urban campground in Medford since last year.
