Homeless Network of Yakima County
Mission and Vision
The Mission of the Network is to advocate for the people experiencing homelessness in Yakima County in order to improve their quality of life, increase public awareness of the issues of homelessness, impact public policy and prevent and end homelessness. The Network focuses on achievable strategies to move individuals and families beyond shelter to permanent housing and self-sufficiency by looking at a comprehensive range of needs and developing the local capacity, through collaborative efforts, to meet these needs.
