Catholic Community Services of Western Washington has been selected to operate a noncongregate shelter near Vancouver Mall for people who are unhoused.
The soon-to-be shelter was formerly a Howard Johnson hotel. The Vancouver Housing Authority acquired it in February to convert the property into a shelter, which will be called Bertha Cain Baugh Place.
The selection, announced Wednesday, was made by Clark County Community Services, with assistance from staff at Vancouver Housing Authority and the city of Vancouver.
Catholic Community Services is an outreach of the Catholic Church that provides programs, shelters and services for the poorest and most vulnerable people in Western Washington.
