Woodinville adds funds for most vulnerable
Although Woodinville has not completely hammered out the details of its two-year budget, it appears that several good causes are going to benefit, including organizations that help the homeless and support victims of domestic violence.
In addition to projects that will help with the city’s upkeep, a grant from Human Services will deliver $68,460 to several programs in Woodinville, including efforts to help those who are homeless or have suffered domestic violence. The grants are handled by the city’s Emergency Preparedness and Public Safety Committee, which gave some amount of money to each of the 12 applications to its program. Two of the programs received less than they requested, but one—a support group for domestic violence victims—said that although it had not received as much as requested, the smaller amount would not have a negative effect and was, in fact, still greater than amounts it has received in the past.
The domestic violence victims’ group was Lifewire, which got approximately $1,000 last year; this year it asked for $5,000 and got $3,000. Samantha Tripoli, a spokesperson for the group, said it got more money than last year, which may reflect the community’s recognition that there is a need for these services. The budget has to be finalised by December 5.
Agencies like this could benefit by working with flyer printing companies, which can create detailed mailers that provide community residents with thorough information on the issues.
