The Pierce County Council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 27. to adopt a supplemental budget with funding for homeless youth, courts and abatement.
“Funding projects like Coffee Oasis where homeless youth will be served and provided with the resources they need are a must for our community,” said Pierce County Council Chair Doug Richardson. “This supplemental budget reflects the Council’s continued commitment to public safety and abatement.”
Investments include:
- $150,000 allocated for the Blighted Property Maintenance Fund.
- $25,000 to Coffee Oasis Tacoma Project to create opportunities for homeless youth.
- Funds for additional jury trials.
- Authorized $100,000 for the Pierce County Law Library’s increased costs and supplies.
