Snoqualmie offering Human Services funds for Valley groups


September 7, 2012 · 4:33 PM

The city of Snoqualmie's Human Services Committee recently opened the funding application process for human services programs to be provided during 2013.

Each year, the city assigns 1 percent of its general fund to community and human service organizations that serve the greater Snoqualmie Valley and provide services that benefit children, seniors, individuals and families in need.

These services are often provided by cities, but because Snoqualmie does not maintain staff with expertise in these areas, it contracts the services through funding to local organizations that provide aid for food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and safety throughout the community.

Guidelines and applications are posted on the city website at www.cityofsnoqualmie.org; click Government | Commissions & Boards | Human Services Committee.

Applications are due no later than Friday, Sept. 14, 2012 at 5 p.m. Following the application process, recommendations for funding will be made by the Human Services Committee for approval by the Snoqualmie City Council.
