Take the ADR Area Plan Survey!

Every four years, ADR engages the community in a local planning process that results in an Area Plan. The Area Plan covers the local needs and long-term services gaps, community input on services, funding priorities, program goals and objectives, areas for focused advocacy and more. We want to hear what services you'd like to see available for seniors and adults with disabilities in Pierce County. 

 The survey is available in multiple languages. Click here to take the Area Plan Survey.
