Snoqualmie City Council Approves $633,000 for Health Services
The Snoqualmie City Council has confirmed an allocation of $633,000 for health and human services in its new biennial budget for 2025-26. This funding will directly support a range of local organizations that provide crucial services to individuals and families in the Snoqualmie Valley.
These funds are aimed at enhancing the quality of life for local residents, focusing on essential needs such as food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and overall safety. According to the city, while there is no dedicated Human Services Department within Snoqualmie, partnerships with established local organizations ensure that community needs are met effectively.
Mayor Katherine Ross remarked, ‘Prioritizing the health, safety, and well-being of our residents is one of our core values. We are pleased to have many strong partners in the community who are committed to effectively meeting this need with efficiency and dedication.’
Collaborative Efforts for Community Well-Being
A volunteer group, the Human Services Advisory Committee, plays a vital role in guiding the allocation process, identifying funding priorities, administering application processes, and ensuring accountability through regular assessments from funded organizations.
Key funding priorities for the upcoming budget period include basic needs, youth support and development, safe havens from violence, and physical and mental wellness, which encompasses healthy aging.
