A recently announced agreement will see Mid-Columbia Community Action take over the lead on operations of the Hood River Warming Shelter this winter. Hood River Shelter Services will still be involved in volunteer coordination and providing shelter clients access to high-quality food. Mid-Columbia Community Action Executive Director Kenny LaPoint says they are targeting a November 15 opening date for the 24-bed pallet shelter site on 1733 Oak Street. LaPoint says Community Action taking the lead on operations will allow for some streamlining of efforts with their shelter site in The Dalles.
