A focused effort to address homelessness in Josephine County will take center stage this afternoon as community members, service providers, and local leaders gather for the latest PATH General Meeting in Grants Pass.
The meeting is scheduled for today, Tuesday, March 24, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Grants Pass City Council Chambers. Organizers note that the formal session will run through 4:30 p.m., followed by a dedicated networking period from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m., giving attendees an opportunity to connect directly with others engaged in similar work across the region.
PATH, a collaborative initiative aimed at addressing homelessness through coordination and shared resources, continues to serve as a central hub for organizations and individuals working to make a measurable impact in the community. Today’s meeting is expected to highlight ongoing efforts, introduce new ideas, and strengthen partnerships among those on the front lines of outreach, housing, and support services.
A key feature of today’s gathering will be a presentation from Brandi Fogle, Josephine County Regional Manager for Max’s Mission. Her appearance is anticipated to provide insight into the organization’s work and its role in changing lives locally. Max’s Mission has developed a reputation for hands-on involvement and targeted outreach, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about its strategies, successes, and future direction.
In addition to the featured presentation, the meeting will include updates on PATH’s current initiatives, offering a snapshot of progress and ongoing challenges in the region’s response to homelessness. Representatives from various community partner organizations are also expected to share updates on their own programs, creating a broader picture of how different groups are working both independently and collaboratively to address a complex and evolving issue.
The gathering is designed not only as an informational forum but also as a space for coordination. Organizers emphasize the importance of shared communication and cooperation, particularly as local agencies and volunteers continue to navigate increasing demand for services. By bringing multiple perspectives into one room, the meeting aims to identify gaps, reduce duplication of efforts, and strengthen the overall network of support available in Josephine County.
As part of today’s event, attendees will also have an opportunity to contribute directly to the community through a food donation effort. A collection box will be available for non-perishable food items, all of which will be directed to the Josephine County Food Bank. Organizers note that even small contributions can make a meaningful difference as demand for food assistance continues to rise alongside housing instability.
Community members from all backgrounds are encouraged to attend, including those who may be new to the issue or looking for ways to get involved. The meeting offers a chance to better understand the scope of homelessness locally, hear firsthand from those working on solutions, and explore ways to participate in ongoing efforts.
With collaboration remaining a cornerstone of progress, today’s PATH meeting reflects a continued commitment within Grants Pass to confront challenges head-on, foster community-driven solutions, and build stronger connections among those working toward lasting change.
