MPHOA is among 19 other private landowners that received funding through this program this year – we are in the most densely populated area of all grant awardees. MPHOA is considered to be a part of the urban/wildland interface. The high density of single and multifamily housing adjacent to forested open spaces increases the risk of catastrophic wildfire. This area was also identified as a high priority fuel reduction zone in the Clackamas Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CCWPP).
