Social Services Task Force
The Social Services Task Force was developed to address the complex issues of social services access for the wider Sandy community (including those who seek services within Sandy and reside in Boring, Rhododendron, Welches, Eagle Creek, and Estacada). The Task Force membership is composed of community leaders, social service providers, and city staff representation.
The work of this group will take place through the end of 2022 and includes:
- A community needs assessment (complete with publicly available report)
- Community input activities (including focus groups)
- Social services strategic plan
