Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation has completed the purchase of Columbia View Apartments, a 12-unit affordable housing community in Cascade Locks, clearing the way for a substantial rehabilitation of the 51-year-old property.

Reducing dependence on public assistance is a primary goal of many of the Mid-Columbia Housing Authority programs. The agency supports low-income Gorge individuals and families in affording reliable, safe housing through federal and state funding, and rental assistance is supplemented by the Bridges to Health Pathways and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) teams, which help them become independent.
