Each year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be used for projects and activities that serve low to moderate income populations. CDBG funds are awarded through a competitive process through Clark County Community Development. Camas competes with other municipalities in Clark County for a small pool of available funds. Proposed projects usually include rehabilitation of two or three blocks of public streets, sidewalks and curb ramps. See past projects before and after pictures below.
You can help keep fats from clogging pipes by disposing of grease properly:
Never pour fats, oils, or grease down the drain.
Never flush fats, oils, or grease down the toilet.
Always put grease in the trash.
Raw sewage in the pipes will attach to fats, oils, and grease, creating impenetrable globs that back up sewer lines. These globs of fat and waste are difficult to disinfect at treatment plants and can allow disease-causing pathogens to enter nearby streams, lakes, and rivers.

A forest oasis in a rapidly developing suburban setting, Lacamas Creek trail is 0.7 miles and offers views of Lacamas Creek flowing below. At the beginning of the trail, most of the trees are maples and alders, offering spectacular fall colors in November. Douglas-firs predominate as you hike farther up Lacamas Creek. Soon you'll hear Lower Falls, a splashing slide falls with lots of exposed rock in the summer. Then you'll come to the McEnry Bridge, taking you over Lacamas Creek.
Approximately 2.6 miles from NW Drake to Round Lake. Trail is accessible from many of the main streets such as NE Dallas and NE Garfield. Unpaved. Mostly Flat. Travels alongside the Mill water ditch previously owned and used by Georgia Pacific, and is now owned by the City of Camas. The ditch was hand dug by 125 Chinese laborers in about five months time in 1884.
