    In response to guidance from health authorities and recent actions taken by Governor Jay Inslee, Metropolitan Development Council (MDC) will shift the way that it does its work in our community through at least March 30. The second floor of our main services building at 721 Fawcett Avenue will remain closed during that time, as well as other office buildings at 730 Fawcett Avenue and 945 Fawcett Avenue. Employees in the following programs will be working remotely through at least March 30:

    - Energy Assistance
    - Weatherization
    - Housing
    - Adult Education and Employment
    - Youth Education
    - Child Care Food Program
    - Care Management
    - The Center for Substance Use Recovery
    - Supported Employment

    MDC’s 24-hour programs and overnight programs will continue with some changes to limit visitor hours and require health checks for people interacting with the programs. Those programs include:

    - Psychiatric Evaluation and Treatment Center
    - Withdrawal Management
    - Randall Townsend Apartments
    - Avenue Apartments
    - Bethlehem Baptist Church Temporary Shelter

    In the coming days, we will be taking steps to re-launch a number of services to ensure that the support we provide to this community can continue, despite the need for social distancing. More information about that will be posted on the MDC website at www.mdc-hope.org.

    Thank you for your support as we work together with our community to navigate the impacts of COVID-19.

    MDC President and CEO

    Inslee statement on statewide shutdown of restaurants, bars and limits on size of gatherings expanded

    Gov. Jay Inslee released a statement tonight that further expands protections against COVID-19. 

    “Given the explosion of COVID-19 in our state and globally, I will sign a statewide emergency proclamation tomorrow to temporarily shut down restaurants, bars and entertainment and recreational facilities.  

    “Restaurants will be allowed to provide take-out and delivery services but no in-person dining will be permitted. 

    “The ban will not apply to grocery stores and pharmacies. Other retail outlets will have reduced occupancy.

    “Additionally, all gatherings with over 50 participants are prohibited and all gatherings under 50 participants are prohibited unless previously announced criteria for public health and social distancing are met. 

    “These are very difficult decisions, but hours count here and very strong measures are necessary to slow the spread of the virus. I know there will be significant economic impacts to all our communities and we are looking at steps to help address those challenges.

    “Tonight, after consultations with me and with the Department of Health, King County announced that they will be taking these actions immediately. King County has been the hotbed of this outbreak and has the largest population center in the state. I have spoken to Executive Dow Constantine and I applaud their decision to act quickly. We will do a joint media announcement with more details tomorrow morning.”

    Hello Community-
    Due to increasing numbers of COVID-19 in Pierce County, Valeo has taken precautionary measures to practice social distancing. We are continuing to place participants on assignment, primarily using remote dispatch, to avoid potential transmission. We will continue to engage with participants, primarily over telecommunications or video messengers, such as Skype. 
    What this will mean for our community is that we will not be holding regular office hours and unable to take in-person meetings. However, we would still love to meet with your referrals and hope you will work with us to identify which platform would be most suitable for your participants. If they have smart phones, we would love to do video messaging! But good ol phone calls will work just as well. 
    I know this has a negative impact on the population we serve. We are doing everything we can to be creative in our interactions, allowing us to still match participants with jobs, while respecting the need for social distancing. We are open to any ideas you have and I would love to hear how other agencies are mitigating these very trying circumstances. Please let me know how you all are handling this!
    Thanks so much-

    Sherri Jensen (she/her/hers)
