Changing Times/Changing Needs

Imagine…
how you can help The Arc of Tri-Cities
build their home - from isolation to
inclusion.
Challenge
The Arc has outgrown its current facilities and is
further challenged by a rapidly growing
constituency.

Without services, individuals with developmental
disabilities  are at risk to:
  • Lose skills
  • Hinder their social development
  • Develop behavioral issues
  • Experience increased vulnerability

In the last five years, the population of Benton
and Franklin Counties are in the top three for
growth in the State.  

The Washington State Division of Developmental
Disabilities (DDD) has identified 500 individuals
on waiting lists for services in The Arc’s service
area.  

DDD projects a 35% increase of human services
participant growth in Benton/Franklin Counties
within the next five years.

Our Future
The new facility will provide space to assist more
individuals with developmental disabilities and
their families to
  • gain skills
  • attain education
  • enjoy recreation
  • build friendships
  • and contribute to the community

The facility will provide a gathering place for
community events and accessible to all.  The Arc
will accommodate more services and expand
programs with
  • multi-purpose space
  • a computer lab  
  • skill building kitchen
  • improved service areas
  • easy access design for vehicle/passenger
    safety
  • and more

“This facility will be more than bricks and mortar; it
will represent the heart and soul of The Arc’s
clients, members,  Board of Directors,  volunteers,
generous contributors and staff. “  Judy Westsik-
