2009 Tool Kit for Taking Action in a Tough Economy

This Tool Kit was introduced September 23, 2009 at the NUHSA event:  The Tools You Need To Take Action In Tough Economic Times

In times of great need, citizens often turn to their local governments for help. This Tool Kit is a set of actions that city governments can take with their human service agency partners to promote the health and well-being of their constituents and communities. The Tool Kit was prepared by the North Urban Human Services Alliance as part of its mission to build the community's capacity to respond to human service needs in North King County, encompassing the cities of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville.

To help local communities weather the current economic recession, the Tool Kit provides information on key programs and services offered by county, state andnon-profit agencies to help citizens cope. A key theme is connecting citizens with information on resources, one of the important role's local governments perform. The reader will also find links to best practices and successful programs cities can implement on their own or through partnerships with other organizations.
