This information is accurate as of January 21, 2021. These agency-wide changes that we’ve implemented are aligned with current public guidelines from county and state officials. They are also aligned with our mission to help vulnerable individuals and families in the Puget Sound region achieve well-being, health and stability. We are committed to serving our community in this evolving moment.

All departments have pivoted as necessary to continue serving our community in this challenging time.We have moved our Counseling Services and Emergency Services lines to HIPAA-compliant Zoom accounts so we will be able to offer support and telehealth services for all clients. To respond to the increased demand in requests for financial assistance (such as help with rent or utilities), we have redeployed several staff from different departments to help. In our Older Adult Services program, we are also teaching our senior clients how to reach us and to know when to pick up the phone if we call them. These calls go a long way in decreasing social isolation.
We will update this page regularly as more programs implement alternative plans.
