  Info & Referral Line  
     
  Did you ever wish there was one phone number you can call for information regarding local resources - specifically for Deaf and hard of hearing people? There is! Our Info & Referral Line is designed to answer your questions on a variety of topics - from interpreters to health care to housing - and to refer you to qualified service providers in your area. We provide referrals for other centers, businesses, social service agencies, and audiologists within Washington State. You can also make an appointment to meet with an advocate.

  General Fund  
     
  If you're a City of Seattle resident who is Deaf, Deaf-Blind, or hard of hearing, you may qualify for interpreting or captioning services from the General Fund. The goal is to make equal access a reality for everyone, by providing money for ASL interpreters, oral interpreters, and captioners to individuals facing financial challenges, based on their income.
