Gloria Center tour

Gloria Center tour highlight of April 9 meeting

Houseless Collaborative invites partners to review annual report and goals

Mid-Columbia River Gorge (March 27, 2024) — The bi-state Mid-Columbia Houseless Collaborative (MCHC) invites partners and interested public members to the Gloria Center at 2505 W. 7th Street in The Dalles on April 9 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. for an in-person meeting and tour.

The first hour of the quarterly meeting will include a review of the Collaborative's 2023 Annual Report and updates on its four primary goal areas: shelter, services, housing, and advocacy. Highlights include a review of the Rhine Village affordable housing acquisition and expanding housing development capacity, and updates on the Portrait of Houselessness series.

Partners can share announcements and volunteer to support severe weather emergency shelters throughout the region in the coming summer. 

After receiving an overview of the Gloria Center, a tour begins at 4:00 p.m. The Center will serve the community as a one-stop resource hub that works towards eliminating poverty, houselessness, and housing instability in the region.

The Gloria Center is the new location for Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC) offices. In coming months, other agencies will join MCCAC at the site, including Mid-Columbia Center for Living, Oregon Human Development Corporation, Nch’i Wana Housing, Oregon Department of Human Services, Columbia Gorge Health Council, Bridges to Health, and One Community Health’s “La Clinica” Mobile Medical Unit.
