Story

After the passage of the Crisis Care Centers levy proposal by the King County Council, Executive Constantine issued the following statement:  

"I want to thank the King County Council for passing this critical proposal today and look forward to voters having their say in April. The behavioral health crisis is intersectional - it shows up in our streets, it shows up in our jails, and it shows up in our communities. By improving and investing in our behavioral health crisis system we can also create solutions for other important arenas, from public safety to public health to homelessness. The Crisis Care Centers levy is how we help people get from crisis to recovery, and how we ensure they have the necessary support to be able to start reclaiming their lives."
