Mid-Columbia Housing Authority and Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation Executive Director Joel Madsen gave a presentation on the agency’s efforts to Hood River City Councilors.  Madsen says they are always looking to partner with local governments, and expand their relationship with the City of Hood River to reach both of their goals.  He also noted there has never been as much attention to housing at all governmental levels as there is now, and that is a huge opportunity in many ways, so advocacy from local governments is important.   Madsen noted the housing market is not working for many people at various economic levels.
