Project Turnkey could provide transitional housing in John Day

JOHN DAY – During yesterday’s Grant County Court meeting, a presentation was made regarding Project Turnkey, which would the Dreamer’s Lodge motel in John Day to become transitional housing for people without a home. Rhiannon Bauman with Families First explained it would be specifically for local residents:

“Our target population is for Grant County residents. It’s for people who have lost employment due to COVID; persons struggling from housing security; persons engaged in Probation & Parole; homeless veterans; and persons returning to the community from Substance Abuse Disorder treatment and have chosen sober living.”

The Oregon Legislature allocated a total of $65 million for Project Turnkey, for the purpose of acquiring motels/hotels for use as non-congregate shelter for people experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness.
