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).

In Our View: Fight against homelessness benefits all of us The Columbian Share: The closing of a Motel 6 as a homeless shelter in east Vancouver exemplifies an ongoing issue in Clark County. The battle against homelessness has been marked by good intentions resulting in stopgap measures, with the latest effort coming and going amid a coronavirus pandemic. County officials this year rented the Motel 6 for use as a shelter, recognizing that homeless populations are particularly vulnerable to the pandemic. An original contract ran through June at a cost of about $600,000, paid for by a state Department of Commerce grant; after that, the Clark County Council approved the use of federal CARES Act funds to continue using the hotel as a shelter.
