What happened in 2009 in WA?

Maintain Funding for Health and Human Services

2009 Legislative Agenda

#1. Support Revenue Solutions for Counties
Revenue solutions for counties legislation did not pass.  The KCAHS (King County Alliance for Human Services) was one of the leaders of this.  LPPO is a part of the King County Religious Leaders Task Force that is a part of this coalition.

#2. Support a fair and equitable Reimbursement Rate for Non-Profit Providers
Reimbursement rates for non-profits were not maintained.  Non-profits like Lutheran Community Services NW will once again suffer from being under-funded by the state for the excellent services it renders to the poor and vulnerable.
