Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities

What Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities does

Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities (PC2) is a 501(c)(3) parent-driven nonprofit headquartered at 3716 Pacific Ave, Suite A, Tacoma, Washington, that serves individuals with developmental disabilities and their families across Pierce County. Its mission is to find, inform, educate, and empower constituents, and its vision is that all people with developmental disabilities have access to the services and programs that meet their needs. The organization employs approximately 10 staff members and delivers services free of charge through in-person office visits, phone support (253.564.0707, 877-DD-LINKS), email, community resource and vendor fairs, educational meetings, and an annual Legislative Forum co-hosted with elected officials.

PC2's offerings span resource linking, follow-up/follow-along services through the LINKS Program, Person Centered Planning, an Emergency Preparedness resource, and a Virtual Closet equipment-sharing program. Its primary content assets are the quarterly Focus Newsletter and the 11th edition of the comprehensive Pierce County Resource Guide to Services and Supports for Individuals Who Experience Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. A differentiated offering is the Home Ownership Down Payment Assistance Program, which provides home-buyer education, counseling, and grants/loans for first-time homebuyers with developmental disabilities. Distribution is exclusively local via the pc2online.org website, Instagram (@pc2_4dd), and direct community engagement; there is no proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, API, or app disclosed.

The revenue model relies on government grants from Pierce County Human Services, Developmental Disabilities Program (notably funding the Resource Guide) and individual/organizational donations. PC2's value proposition rests on its incumbency within the Pierce County disability services ecosystem, the long-tail trust embedded in its Resource Guide and parent-driven coalition model, and its referral relationships with local disability field professionals. There is no evidence of geographic expansion beyond Pierce County, no disclosed M&A activity, and no proprietary technology investments.
