COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ The Oregon Department of Human Services warned that SNAP benefits for about 757,000 people may be suspended in November due to the federal shutdown — a risk that could worsen food insecurity in Grants Pass and the surrounding communities. Local food banks and grocers are preparing for increased demand as already strained supplies face further cuts. The Grants Pass Tribune
- ➤ A growing number of residents in Grants Pass are opposing a plan for a homeless shelter near Riverside Elementary. Kevin Swiger started a petition—gathering over 600 signatures—to ask city and county officials to find a safer location—one that better serves local families. The Grants Pass Tribune
FINANCE NEWS
- ➤ For many, $1 million once meant a safe retirement, but rising home prices, utility bills, and healthcare costs in Southern Oregon now make it hard to cover all expenses—retirees will need to plan carefully for extra costs. Financial planners advise that future retirees consider part-time work, downsizing, or other income sources to keep up with inflation. The Grants Pass Tribune
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Grants Pass approved a grant for Pathways to Stability to manage a homeless camp that will offer housing, recovery support and faith-based mentorship at 1798 Southeast N Street — a site that already meets essential needs.
