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- Executive
Director
