Legislative Priorities

Every year Pierce County residents highlight specific topics they ask decision makers to support. These highlights are called priorities.  This year residents have 5 priorities they are asking decision makers to support. 

The priorities are.....
  1.  We are asking legislators to support and improve transition outcomes for students leaving high school who are transitioning into adulthood 
  2. ​
  3.  Increase accessible and affordable housing options. 
  4.  Improve access to Early Support for Infants and Toddlers  services. 
  5. Increase provider rates for DDA community-based services.
  6. Build in language interpreter services for all DDA services to ensure equitable access to services and inclusion in the community for all people with disabilities.
