SWCDHH HISTORY
Established in 1991, Southwest Washington Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is the culmination of a vast grassroots effort. Individuals from Washington's second largest community of Deaf and Hard of Hearing banded together to obtain the necessary funding to set up our own center. We offer many programs and services to individuals, families, friends, co-workers and our community members.
SWCDHH is a community based non-profit 501c(3) organization. We are funded by the State of Washington Department of Social and Health Services Aging & Long Term Care Agency, DSHS ALTCA, the Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing, ODHH and our community partners.
Donations are welcome and directly benefit the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities of SW Washington.
