The recently approved federal omnibus spending bill includes $2.5 million for Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation’s planned Assisted Living Facility in Western Klickitat County.  CCHC officials says the award is intended to leverage additional capital from U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and the state of Washington construct the facility. Klickitat County acquired a seven-acre parcel near White Salmon and immediately leased the property to CCHC, which has advanced predevelopment and design efforts for the 52 unit facility where 16 units will provide memory care services and the remaining 36 dedicated to assisted living.   Not less than 25% of the development will be affordable to households earning at or below 50% of the area median income.   CCHC Board Chair Paul Blackburn said in their ideal scenario, they will break ground for construction in August and open the facility a little over a year later.
