WAGAP Won’t Operate Stevenson Emergency Shelter This Winter

Washington Gorge Action Programs says there will be no Stevenson emergency warming shelter this winter due to minimal use over the past few years.  WAGAP Executive Director Jennifer Pauletto says they have joined with the Skamania County Homeless Housing Task Force to adjust the units near the Hegewald Center into a year-round family shelter.  Pauletto says people in need of shelter in Skamania and Klickitat counties this winter are encourage to connect with one of WAGAP’s three housing offices during work hours Mondays through Thursdays to make arrangements for health and safety.  In Stevenson, call 509-427-8229 or go to WAGAP’s Housing office at 683 SW Rock Creek Drive…in Bingen, call 509-493-2662 or go to WAGAP’s main office at 115 West Steuben Street…and in Goldendale, call 509-773-6834 or go to the WAGAP Housing office at 150 West Main Street.  WAGAP’s Bobby Casey adds the Guided Path in Bingen is collaborating with local high school student volunteers to construct two warming huts, but no firm date has yet been announced for their use.
