A Mason County resident contacted our Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) team for housing help.

We took time to understand their situation. Then, we shared local places to contact first. We encouraged the community member to ask about openings and waitlists, too.

Do you need help with a place to live? We can walk through options. Call our ADRC team at 360-664-2168.
