During the pandemic, cities all across the country turned hotel rooms into emergency housing for people who were living outdoors. Now, some states are doubling down on that model by providing funding to nonprofits to turn motels into shelters and supportive housing. The Community Development Corporation of Oregon in Gresham just got a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation to do just that. Brad Ketch is the Chairman of the Board of Rockwood CDC. and Nan Roman is the President and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelesssness, which has looked at hotel conversion projects across the country.
