WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON?
Time, Place & manner
The City of Gold Beach hosted a workshop on Friday, July 15th. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss Time, Place & Manner, which is a result of recently passed HB 3115. HB 3115 says (in a nutshell), that a municipality of jurisdiction must find a place where unsheltered households can legally be, or allow camping on publicly owned property.
We do not want to see tents in Buffington Park, or on any other publicly owned property that is not designed to support people experiencing housing insecurity.
Gold Beach leasdership for taking the lead with difficult conversations which will help us, as a community, to come to an agreement on how best to move forward with a plan to address a very complex social issue.
Our organization, as always, will work toward the development of viable, sustainable solutions to unsheltered households in Gold Beach.
HOUSING NAVIGATION CENTER
Housing NAVIGATION SERVICES in Gold Beach
The Curry County Homeless Coalition ha set a goal to open a Housing Navigation Center in central Curry County/Gold Beach.
What is a Housing Navigation Center?
A single service housing navigation hub can provide a range of services to many people in one location, including assistance acquiring identification cards, veterans’ benefits, pet care, job skill development, health services, peer-to-peer counselling, and referrals for unaccompanied youth in addition to restroom, showers, basic hygiene supplies, storage and laundry facilities. Many of the centers also offer meeting rooms with case management opportunities.
Some of you may recall the Southern OR Coast Resource Center operated by the Curry County Homeless Coalition between 2019 and 2021, located near the sheriff's department. We intend to relaunch this program with a twist.
We will partner with Fair Housing Council of OR to provide tenant and landlord trainings and education. We will also partner with Consumer Credit Counseling of Southwestern OR to provide financial literacy trainings for tenants and perspective tenants to learn how their financial status impacts access to housing and how to improve upon their financial status over time, and with the tools and support needed to succeed.
If you'd like to know more about any of our plans, please email us at
curryhomelesscoalition@gmail.com, or call 541-425-0426.
We're happy to take the time to explain our mission, vision, and goals for Curry County as it relates to housing for all.
With gratitude,
Curry County Homeless Coalition
