~ Tacoma City Council Approves $1.5 Million Investment in Multicultural Child and Family Hope Center's New Facility
In a unanimous decision, the Tacoma City Council has approved a $1.5 million investment in the development and construction of a new facility for the Multicultural Child and Family Hope Center. The funding will come from the Urban Development Action Grant Fund and will help the non-profit organization consolidate operations, expand services, and increase capacity.
The Hope Center, which has been serving the Tacoma community for over 30 years, offers culturally relevant support services to children, parents, and families. Their mission is to educate, empower, and uplift the community through their various programs.
Mayor Victoria Woodards expressed her support for the investment, stating that the services provided by the Hope Center are crucial for many families in need. She believes that this new facility will allow them to continue serving the community for many more years to come.
Council Member Kiara Daniels also praised the decision, highlighting the importance of accessible childcare in supporting families and boosting the local economy. She noted that many parents are forced to quit their jobs or leave school due to childcare issues, causing turnover in the workforce. This investment in the new facility will benefit everyone in Tacoma and contribute to a brighter future for the city.

The center offers various programs such as before and after school care, support for children in foster care, and free early learning programs. They also provide services for parents, including parenting skills development, self-care support, and assistance for fathers navigating the child welfare system. Additionally, the Hope Center works to prevent homelessness and offers free groceries and diapers to families in need.
