MCCAC Director Says Motel Acquisition Can Drop Homelessness By 50%

Mid-Columbia Community Action Executive Director Kenny LaPoint believes their purchase of the Oregon Motor Motel in The Dalles can reduce homelessness in the region by 50 percent.  Community Action last week announced the purchase of the facility to create 100 units of transitional housing for families and shelter.  LaPoint says they are currently using hotels for transitional housing already, including the Oregon Motor Motel.  The facility will be integrated with Community Action’s planned Navigation Center on West 7th in The Dalles, where groundbreaking is set for March 24.
