JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore--- The Red Cross congregate care facility at the Josephine County Fairgrounds will close starting September 21. That is according to Josephine County which says the facility will close because the Red Cross will complete its mission of returning evacuees to their homes or placing them in temporary lodging.
