Shelter Services Expected To Receive CARES Act Funds

Hood River County Commissioners are expected to approve $96,222 in federal CARES Act funds to go to Hood River Shelter Services to acquire 15 pallet shelters for use this winter to help those who are homeless.  With two commissioners absent and Commissioner Karen Joplin declaring a conflict of interest due to her involvement with Shelter Services, the Commission could not approve the funding on Monday, but Administrator Jeff Hecksel will do an e-mail poll on the matter and place in on the panel’s agenda for a formal approval in two weeks.  Sarah Kellems of Shelter Services says they are working with an area church to locate the shelters, and that should be finalized next week.  The County also approved $20,000 in CARES Act funding for the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility to help the regional jail deal with COVID-related expenses.
