Tracking the Impact: Budget Cuts & Community Wellbeing
Thriving Together NCW has teamed up with Our Valley Our Future and other partners across the region to understand how recent federal and state government reductions and cuts are affecting local communities and the vital services our residents rely on.
Your input matters.
We’ve created a centralized space where partners can share their experiences and stories. By contributing to this effort, you’re helping our network build a clearer, community-driven picture of the real-world impacts these cuts are having across North Central Washington. The more voices we hear from, the stronger our ability to advocate for effective, equitable solutions.
Data will be shared with elected officials, and the wider community to raise awareness, mobilize action, and advocate for the needs of our region.
