Columbia Gorge Habitat for Humanity is taking applications for the organization’s next home build in The Dalles. Volunteer Construction Site Manager Don Wanzek says applicants must have a need for adequate housing, meet income guidelines and be able to repay a Habitat mortgage, and be willing to partner with Habitat for Humanity in the project by completing 350 hours of “sweat equity” in the program. The next house will be built on a lot on 13th and Kelly in The Dalles. Informational meetings are scheduled for Wednesday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m. at Sorosis Park in The Dalles. Applications will be taken until August 7. For more information, call 541-296-8817.
