Programs described in its return (2)
- $222,372 spent. The COAAST Network stands for Communities of All Abilities Succeeding Together and is one of eight similar statewide family networks. COAAST hosts trainings and local coastal activities where families and individuals can meet one-another and form meaningful relationships which often lead to more resources and a devoted support network. The work of the COAAST Network comes in many forms such as one-on-one peer support, group meetups, elevating voices of lived experience, advocating for better policies and outcomes, and building authentic relationships. The COAAST Network seeks to provide more supports alongside the formal system and we believe the strongest supports can come from the community.
- $258,880 spent. We are dedicated to advancing universal accessibility and removing barriers to accessing places, services, products, community roles, and housing for all people, including those experiencing disability. We do this by advocating for universal accessibility throughout our service area, modeling universal accessibility in all our programs and services, and educating community leaders about universal accessibility. Our primary activity in this program area is our Thompson Springs project, a model of affordable accessible housing built with the principles of Universal Design.
