On a mission to improve service delivery and increase access to Washington's
Basic Food Program
The mobile community services office is rolling down the road
to underserved communities
to rural and elderly populations
The customized truck is equipped with all of the amenities found in any of the
sixty-two community services offices located in buildings throughout the
state
“Welcome to the mobile CSO”
“How are you?”
“What can I do for you guys today?”
Like our standard offices with experienced staff there are interview rooms
to take applications, determine eligibility, and provide households with
public assistance benefit programs.
Such as Washington's food assistance program, basic food, and medical coverage
for children.
All with real time connectivity to gather resources
using current information technologies
right where there is a need. Self-contained, connected and ready to assist
The mobile CSO will also respond
during emergencies
to accept applications and issue benefits to victims of a disaster
quick access not just by being at the site by providing immediate assistance
and reducing delays.
There are two mobile cso’s. One in eastern Washington and one in western Washington.
Both can be mobilized by either DSHS
or the more than six hundred partners involved in assisting those in need.
Check the mobile CSO calendar at our website to view upcoming
destinations.
