Pierce County’s Department of Community Services is seeking new members to serve on its Citizens Advisory Board. The board makes recommendations for allocating Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Shelter Grant dollars.

Members have the opportunity to reduce the impact of poverty and homelessness on families and individuals by funding programs which ease these conditions. In monthly evening meetings, the board considers community needs, prioritizes program activities, evaluates funding applications and makes recommendations to the county executive on program funding.

To apply or obtain additional information, go to http://www.piercecountywa.org/CABMember or call the department at (253) 798-7205.
