Using a strengths-based approach and leaning on the resiliency of communities who experience vulnerability, the Adult Services Division serves those who—because of current or historical exposure to trauma, violence, poverty, isolation, bias, racism, stigma, discrimination, disability or chronic illness—have an increased susceptibility to reduced health, housing, financial or social stability outcomes.

Our commitment to resilient communities

The Resilient Communities team in the Adult Services Division utilizes a racial justice approach to serving our most vulnerable populations in King County.

King County is committed to comprehensively employing an equity and social justice (ESJ) lens when considering the most effective strategies to promote well-being for people in vulnerable circumstances and vigilance in addressing systems that create inequities.
