Contracts made with community based agencies enable us to more effectively respond to the varying needs in our communities. These agencies provide a unique blend of programs and services.
All agencies are community-based and have Boards comprised of local citizens.
These Boards determine the mix and quality of services provided. In addition, there are over five hundred volunteers countywide fulfilling many roles within the agencies. Partnerships with local schools make it possible to offer day treatment, agency offices in schools, classroom presentations, and special counseling and support groups. Community collaborations help to develop links and partnerships with other local community groups. Each agency is funded through a unique revenue mix, but all have United Way funding and funding from King County.
