BIG THINGS ARE MOVING FOR 99+1 IN SOUTHERN OREGON.
Over the last several weeks, Samantha and I have been working hard to build relationships, listen to Southern Oregon, and turn the 99+1 vision into something real, responsible, and sustainable.
Today, we are grateful to share several important developments.
The U.S. General Services Administration has authorized the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to accept 99+1’s late Expression of Interest regarding the James A. Redden federal property in Medford, Oregon. HHS has now provided us with the formal application materials to continue through the federal Title V process.
This is NOT an announcement that the property has been awarded to 99+1. There is still significant work ahead. But we are officially moving forward in the federal application process, and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity.
At the same time, relationships across Southern Oregon continue to grow.
We also have conversations underway with community, education, veteran, youth, recovery, government, nonprofit, reentry, housing, and behavioral-health leaders throughout Jackson and Josephine counties.
Our goal has never been simply to open a building.
Our goal is to build a connected system where someone struggling with addiction, mental health, homelessness, reentry, family crisis, trauma, or another life-changing circumstance can walk through one door and not be left alone trying to figure out where to go next.
The long-term vision includes recovery and treatment pathways, mental-health services, youth and family support, suicide-prevention partnerships, veterans services, reentry support, housing stability, education, employment and life-skills development, peer support, and strong community resource navigation.
We believe Southern Oregon deserves a place where people are seen, relationships are built, existing organizations work together, and second chances become something people can actually reach.
There is a lot of work ahead.
Licensing.
Funding.
Properties.
Partnerships.
Staffing.
Community input.
Federal and state approvals.
And funding is becoming increasingly important.
As we move deeper into the federal process, 99+1 must be able to demonstrate that we have the financial strength and operating capacity to responsibly open, staff, maintain, and operate a facility at the level being proposed.
That means we are actively looking for individuals, businesses, foundations, churches, lenders, philanthropic partners, and community leaders who believe in second chances and may be interested in helping move this vision forward.
We are not asking anyone to blindly fund an idea.
We are building the plans, partnerships, licensing pathways, program infrastructure, financial models, and accountability necessary to show that 99+1 can responsibly carry this mission forward.
If you are interested in discussing financial support, major gifts, grants, lending, sponsorship, strategic investment in the mission, in-kind support, or simply helping us get connected to the right people, please send me a private message.
Even an introduction to someone who may want to sit at the table could make a difference.
We are approaching each piece one step at a time.
Thank you to everyone who has answered an email, taken a meeting, made an introduction, challenged an idea, prayed for us, encouraged us, or simply given us a chance to explain what 99+1 is trying to build.
The vision is getting bigger.
But more importantly, the foundation underneath it is getting stronger.
From Ashes to Fire.
