After a lengthy amount of discussion, The Dalles City Council gave a split consensus for City Manager Julie Krueger to move forward with using some CARES Act dollars to purchase six more pallet shelters for the homeless to add to those already installed on municipal property on Bargeway Avenue.  Along with the six that are already there, five being acquired by Mid-Columbia Community Action, and one by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, it would bring the total on the property to eighteen.  Councilor Darcy Long-Curtiss, who has been spearheading the project that is not being managed by the City, said they have a waiting list for the shelters.  There was hesitancy from some on the Council to add that many shelters for a variety of reasons, including liability and safety.  Long-Curtiss says the YWCA of Greater Portland is now acting as a fiscal sponsor for the project.
