When Roy Johnson became Vancouver Housing Authority’s leader in February of 2008, the Clark County (and national) housing landscape looked vastly different than it does today. So much has changed. So much has been built and funded and created in the last 16 years. Not to mention, housing has gotten a lot more expensive, making the agency’s work even more crucial.
Johnson learned to be a persistent advocate for building more affordable housing.
“If not for us, it might not get done so we have to do it,” he said.
