City seeks volunteers to serve on Vancouver Housing Authority Board

The City of Vancouver is currently seeking volunteers to fill a vacant position on the Vancouver Housing Authority (VHA) Board of Commissioners, with applications due by February 7, 2025. This essential six-member board is responsible for formulating policies that govern the operation of low-income rental housing assistance programs in Clark County. The VHA's mission is to provide opportunities for individuals facing housing challenges due to income, disability, or special needs. Eligible applicants must demonstrate a strong interest in housing policy and cannot be current landlords with rental assistance contracts or vendors doing business with the VHA. Candidates are expected to commit a minimum of eight hours per month for meeting preparation and attendance, along with a five-year term starting on February 12, 2025.

The City encourages diverse applicants to help fulfill its commitment to equitable housing solutions. For detailed board information and to apply, individuals can visit the City of Vancouver's official boards and commissions website. This initiative highlights the local government's dedication to addressing housing barriers and fostering community involvement.
