To Whom It May Concern:
As Mayor of Port Angeles, Washington, I am pleased to support Clallam County Juvenile and
Youth Services' application for the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI)
Cohort 7 Grant.
I have been involved in the start-up Port Angeles Healthy Youth Coalition since November
2020. Through participation at the Coalition meetings, I learned about findings from the 2018
Healthy Youth Survey including how Clallam County has made progress in several areas
including unexcused absence from school. Unfortunately other areas, such as reported opioid
use, has increased among youth.
As Mayor of Port Angeles, I commit to supporting the Coalition's actions to bring together
diverse organizations, local businesses, schools, governmental departments, youth, and parents
so that we may effectively collaborate on prevention and intervention strategies to support
healthy, substance-free youth in Port Angeles.
In summary, I strongly support the application of Clallam Juvenile and Family Services for the
CPWI Cohort 7 Grant and look forward to continued participation on the Port Angeles Healthy
Youth Coalition.
Sincerely,
QocuSigne—a-�ey:
Mayor
