Mid-Columbia Community Action is continuing to prep apartments at The Annex in The Dalles to be used as permanent supportive housing in partnership with Mid-Columbia Center For Living. The partnership with Center for Living will enable Community Action to provide comprehensive wraparound services to residents, including case management, healthcare connections, mental health support, and employment assistance. Center for Living Executive Director Al Barton says the amount and types of support will be varied. The construction work will be completed in phases, with the first clients expected to enter the program in February. Community Action expects that the entire room conversion project will wrap up sometime in the spring.
