Community Coalitions & Empowerment Program
A Real Success
Relationship-based family connection program that utilizes strength-based approaches that honor the black culture in South King County, mainly in Federal Way. We routinely provide culturally responsive services as well as promote initiatives that are anchored on a social justice initiative that is driven by a movement and not a moment by providing positive communal spaces for families to come together, connect, and heal. The project focuses on a holistic process that authentically serves families and ensures that each participant in our program has a healthy development throughout the many different stages of life. We also utilize multi-generational approaches that focus on socio economic stability, and promote an equity driven upward mobility trajectory.

To celebrate our new and improved Collective, we’ve partnered with the City Planner’s Office to talk about the city's comprehensive strategic plan and the opportunity for community input.
Strategic plans are often developed for a five-year timeframe or less. A comprehensive plan is a policy instrument for governments to provide the basis for future decisions on regulations, funding, and the built environment. We’re excited to be with you on March 21st!
BACKGROUND: The City of Federal Way is conducting its Periodic Update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan (link goes to the City’s current Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2015). The Comprehensive Plan sets the 20-year vision for the City and is the foundation of Federal Way’s long-range planning for land use, housing, transportation infrastructure, and many other aspects of the built, natural, and social environment in Federal Way. 2023 kicks off an exciting new phase of Federal Way’s major 2024 Comprehensive Plan update. Help shape the future of Federal Way by attending a Town Hall event and by participating in surveys and activities online at www.engagefw.com.
