Mission Statement
Create a human services system in South King County that is inclusive, integrated and easy to access, respectful of cultural and linguistic differences, and that fosters social support.
Description
South King County is a great place to work, play and live. We are known for our diversity and values, for our close-knit neighborhoods, our wide open spaces, our small towns and our modern suburbs. However, many of our friends and neighbors struggle to meet their basic needs.
For over 25 years, SKCHS has worked to ensure that the people of South King County continue to have access to the basic building blocks of a strong society: health care, housing and human services. Helping our neighbors who struggle to pay rent and put food on the table is one of our goals in South King County.
