The Vancouver Housing Authority is in the process of acquiring a parcel in Washougal for a 40-unit, federally subsidized housing complex for low-income seniors.

This land purchase marks the last piece needed for the project, following VHA’s acquisitions starting in 2022 of three adjacent parcels from a private owner.
