VANCOUVER, Wash.—The mayor of a British Columbia community devastated by last month’s floods says finding winter housing for displaced residents is his top priority with recovery efforts underway.

Princeton Mayor Spencer Coyne said about 300 people from the area are still on evacuation order and about one third of them will need accommodation.
