SAFE AND HEALTHY SPOKANE ASSET ASSESSMENT REPORT
Spokane County, like many communities across the country, is facing growing challenges related to mental health, substance use, housing instability, and how people in crisis interact with public systems. To better understand these issues and how local systems work together, the Safe and Healthy Spokane Task Force commissioned this independent Asset Assessment by The Leifman Group. Informed by national expertise and extensive local input from people working across behavioral health, housing, justice, health care, advocacy, and lived experience, the assessment brings together what is already known to show what is working, where gaps exist, and where better coordination could help. This report is a starting point—not a final plan. The Task Force will continue to engage the community and draw on ongoing discussions to refine priorities and develop recommendations to be presented in the spring.
