*Take the Human Services Survey – "We Want to Hear From You!"
*The City of Kenmore is working with Health Management Associates, a national research and consulting firm, to learn more about what support systems our community needs to help residents through economic and personal crisis and provide opportunities for "all" residents to succeed. We have developed a short 10-minute survey to identify gaps in the human services system in Kenmore. The City will use the information gathered to make decisions about funding and programs that will provide critical services to our residents in need. All community members are invited to *take the survey [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/government/housing-and-human-services ]* between now and January 19.
