The Shoreline Family Support Center embraces a set of beliefs that focuses on strengthening and empowering families and communities so that they can foster the optimal development of children, youth, and adult family members.
History:
The Center for Human Services has been serving the areas of South Snohomish County & North King County since 1970, by providing counseling and other resources for individuals, youth, and family. In 1982 the Center for Human Services saw a need for better and more diverse support for local families, including programming, resources, and a community center that was open, comfortable, and accessible. They opened the Shoreline Family Support Center by combining the Creative Life Foundation and Shoreline Youth Services, and we have been growing ever since.
