Our Mission:

Rogue Retreat envisions a community where all homeless have a place to call home and are empowered to strengthen the quality of their lives. We create opportunities for the homeless to have hope. Rogue Retreat meets homeless people as they are (many with addiction and/or mental health challenges) and provides creative and temporary housing for them: a place to call home. With the help of community partners, we collectively wrap ourselves around program participants delivering supportive services to help them achieve their highest potential. Rogue Retreat provides housing and relationship-based case management that helps participants overcome the barriers that keep them from obtaining housing and becoming self-sufficient. For us, it’s about community connection and restoring lives while creating and sharing stories of hope.
