Monica Negrila the Director of Strategic Initiatives, Skagit County Commissioners’ Office will fill you in on North Star’s collaborative approach to tackling behavioral health and housing challenges in Skagit County. The goals are:
Stable, safe housing for everyone
Effective Community-Based System of Care
Do you wonder if community issues can actually be solved, or do you think that they can only be managed? Do you believe that each community can tackle homelessness on their own? The North Star project believes that a collaborative approach can solve community issues and is committed to doing so.
North Star is a community-wide effort tackling the toughest issues facing Skagit County. They’re starting where the need is greatest: making sure our neighbors suffering the most get the effective care, support, and housing they need to get off the street, on a path to recovery and into stable housing.
In July 2022, Skagit County Commissioners and the Mayors of Anacortes, Burlington, Mount Vernon, and Sedro-Woolley established North Star to solve community issues collaboratively. Since then, the partnership has expanded to unite governments, first responders, housing and health providers, and many other community leaders. Together, we’re pooling resources, coordinating services, and connecting fragmented systems to provide people with the care and support they need more efficiently and effectively.
