On Tuesday, Dec. 8, Clark County Community Services announced that it is partnering with the Vancouver Housing Authority (VHA) and the City of Vancouver to open a shelter for unhoused people in the community.
According to a news release, all three entities will contribute funds to the shelter and Clark County Community Services will oversee a contract with a yet-to-be determined nonprofit. As of Tuesday, the VHA is still working on acquiring a site for the shelter.
The shelter will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will be non-congregate (households utilizing the shelter will have their own room and restroom facilities).
