Foundry Village
Foundry Village is the first tiny house transitional community for those affected by homelessness in Josephine County. Foundry Village is comprised of 17 tiny homes providing short-term housing for up to 34 people. Designed as a gated community, Foundry Village is a safe, supportive environment where participants are encouraged to reach their highest potentials. Participants work to address barriers so that they may further their progress from homelessness to long-term housing and
self-sufficiency.

For many years Bethany has supported FISH, now the "B" St. Food Pantry, with food, money and volunteers. "B" St. Food Pantry is located at Newman United Methodist Church in Grants Pass.
