Hood River Shelter | Fact Sheet
-
With an expected opening date of Monday, November 16, 2026, the Hood River Shelter is transitioning to year-round shelter operations.
Each winter, the Hood River Shelter has provided a warm and safe place to sleep, along with access to basic needs items including food, clothing, bedding, and toiletries, shower and laundry services, and connections to housing case management and other supportive services provided by community partners.
Since 2009, the Hood River Shelter has operated first as a program of Gorge Ecumenical Ministries (GEM) and then for a time as the independent non-profit, Hood River Shelter Services (HRSS). In 2020, Hood River Shelter Services began to collaborate with Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC), bringing the grassroots, community-based foundation of the Hood River Shelter together with the long-standing housing stabilization and poverty elimination services provided by MCCAC. In 2023, HRSS and MCCAC merged in a strategic alliance, with the Hood River Shelter program coming under the umbrella of MCCAC.
MCCAC is dedicated to continuing to provide shelter services in Hood River County, and is working with other partner members of the Mid-Columbia Houseless Collaborative to stabilize the region’s shelter and rapid rehousing system while also supporting the development of longer term solutions as we work toward a future where everyone in our community has a safe and stable place to call home.
