Developed through a collaborative process between the Partnership and a subset of state agency programs in 2021/22, Program Targets are commitments about the results that Puget Sound recovery-related programs will aim to achieve over the four-year implementation period of the 2022-2026 Action Agenda. Targets provide the Partnership and the recovery community with a transparent and measurable way to assess program needs and barriers and promote increased support for programs to help them achieve their targets.
Use the table below to explore the Targets, and see how the Partnership and programs are working together to overcome barriers and accelerate progress toward achieving the Targets, using the Program Target Task Board.
