United Way of King County's Community Assessment reviews the current status of health and human services in our community. It supports planning, alignment of community-wide goals, and action strategies that enhance the quality of life for King County residents. The assessment includes detailed information about Data and Demographics, Impact Areas, Subregions, Cross-cutting Issues and Best and Promising Practices. Enhanced features this year include easy web access to documentation, frequently updated content, downloadable content, and a cross-cutting issues component that examines underlying issues and trends around poverty, education and racial equity.

Getting personally involved creates powerful connections
At the Unite to End Homelessness Community Resource Exchange, more than 400 volunteers and service providers helped more than 1,000 homeless individuals with access to vital services all in one place, in one day. People enjoyed hot meals and took advantage of free health services, flu shots, haircuts, voicemail account setups, legal assistance and DSHS benefits. Free long-distance phone calls allowed guests to connect with friends and family - some for the first time in years. Also available were referrals to other important services such as housing, counseling, employment training and ESL classes. We're grateful to all of the event sponsors for their support including Fannie Mae Foundation's Help the Homeless program, Providence Health & Services Washington/Montana and Seattle Seahawks. We would also like to thank all of the volunteers and service providers who generously gave their time to make both events a success. Read stories shared by volunteers about their experiences >>
