Episode Details

Ashland’s “night lawn” — a homeless camping spot behind the police station — is being handed over to nonprofit OHRA for a six-month pilot, with plans to officially take over in 8-10 weeks. Community concerns include overcrowding, emergency care, and water access, while a standout idea is hiring formerly homeless ambassadors to cut costs and build trust. OHRA is actively gathering input, exploring solutions like elevated tents, better medical facilities, and a women-only space, while navigating insurance and HR hurdles. Meanwhile, a local resident is launching a resilience hub to support both the unhoused and the wider community — building a stronger, more compassionate village together.
