What we do…

Rogue Retreat serves homeless and unsheltered people in Southern Oregon.

At Rogue Retreat, our mission is to meet individuals experiencing homelessness right where they are, offering immediate stabilization through our shelter and housing-first approach. This foundational step ensures that people have a safe place to stay, allowing us to then focus on providing the comprehensive supportive services necessary for a successful transition back into the community.

Our operations are characterized by a full spectrum of innovative and creative housing solutions designed to address immediate needs while paving the way for long-term stability. We understand that temporary housing alone is not enough; that’s why our approach integrates a range of supportive services, including access to healthcare, job training, and other essential resources. This support system is crucial for helping individuals restore their lives and regain their independence.

By combining innovative housing strategies with tailored support services, Rogue Retreat aims to empower those we serve to build a stable future. Our commitment is to help individuals move beyond homelessness and re-establish their place in the community, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

FAQs

Is Rogue Retreat a housing organization?

Rogue Retreat is known for its creative housing programs, including tiny house villages, low barrier shelters, and campgrounds. However, Rogue Retreat does not “warehouse” homeless people. Rogue Retreat provides supportive services that help our program participants reach their highest potential.

Does Rogue Retreat help at risk youth?

Rogue Retreat doesn’t directly help at-risk or homeless youth. Rogue Retreat serves individuals, couples, and families. We work closely with the Maslow Project and Hearts with a Mission to help connect at-risk kids to their programs which are designed to serve and meet the needs of homeless youths.

Does offering social services in my community inspire homeless people to move to my community?

The population of homeless people is rising nationwide. We are working with more cities than ever to offer services for homeless people. Having services may bring more people to the area, but we don’t see a significant difference in the rate that homelessness is growing in areas with services versus areas without.
