Comment Tidy-Up Tacoma est-il financé ?

Le conseil municipal a approuvé une taxe d'accise locale de 6 % sur les services de gestion des déchets solides dans le cadre du budget biennal 2023-2024. Les fonds générés par cette taxe continuent de soutenir l'opération Tidy-Up Tacoma, qui était auparavant financée par une contribution ponctuelle de l'American Rescue Plan Act et d'autres fonds municipaux. En moyenne, un client résidentiel disposant d'une poubelle de 60 litres verra sa facture augmenter d'environ 3 $ par mois.

Neighborhood and Community Services FAQs

What is the City’s homelessness outreach program?
The City launched its homelessness outreach efforts in 2017. Today, this work is carried out by the Homelessness Engagement and Alternative Liaison (HEAL) Team, which provides services and support to unhoused residents across the entire city. Learn more about the Équipe HEAL. 

What does the HEAL Team do?
HEAL leads with a services‑first approach. This means the team engages with unhoused residents, offers to connect them to resources such as shelter, and helps ensure compliance with Tacoma Municipal Code, including areas where unauthorized camping is not allowed. Learn more about the City’s Politiques et procédures du campement. 

What areas in Tacoma are considered no‑camping zones?
Ordonnance n° 29064, adopté par le conseil municipal le 21 octobre 2025, et Ordonnance n° 28831, adopté le 11 octobre 2022, interdit le camping et le stockage d'effets personnels sur la voie publique dans : 

• 10 blocks of a Temporary or Emergency Shelter located in the “Downtown Zone,” which includes the area north of S. 38th Street, east of S. Union Street, west of the Puyallup River, and south of Commencement Bay; 
• Five blocks of a Temporary Shelter or Emergency Shelter located outside of the “Downtown Zone;” and 
• Two blocks of a public school serving grades K-12, public park, or public library.  

Why is the City increasing outreach and services in June?
During June, warmer weather and an increased number of visitors can create additional challenges for people living outside. Heat can pose health risks, and higher visitor activity can make transportation and movement more difficult for unhoused residents.

What additional support will the City provide during this period?
To help meet community needs, the City will temporarily increase outreach efforts and expand access to supplies such as water, hygiene products, and snacks. Additional day services and extra shelter beds will also be made available.

How does the City decide when to increase services?
The HEAL Team routinely monitors community conditions and adjusts support based on emerging needs, seasonal changes, and shifting dynamics across Tacoma.
