Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how we serve the region.

What exactly does a "Resource Network" do?

We act as the "connective tissue" between citizens and services. We don't just give you a list; we map out the most efficient way for you to receive the support you need, whether it's housing, food, or advocacy.

Is there a cost for your coordination services?

No. Our primary mission is accessibility. We work through volunteer efforts and community partnerships to ensure our resource mapping remains a public good for the South Sound.

How can my organization partner with SSRN?

We are always looking to expand our map. If you run a regional program or nonprofit, contact Branden Miller to be included in our verified resource directory.

How do you verify volunteer service hours?

All hours are logged through our internal system and personally signed off by our Program Director. We provide formal documentation for school, court, or professional requirements.
