MIDD Advisory Committee

MIDD Advisory Committee

Behavioral Health and Recovery Division

MIDD Advisory Committee was formally established with approval of Ordinance 16077 passed by the King County Council on April 28, 2008, and renamed and revised for MIDD 2 via Ordinance 18452  on January 31, 2017. 

The MIDD Advisory Committee is an advisory body to the Executive and Council. Its purpose is to ensure that the implementation and evaluation of the strategies and programs funded by the MIDD sales tax revenue are transparent, accountable, collaborative and effective.

The MIDD Advisory Committee is a unique partnership of representatives from the health and human services and criminal justice communities. Recognizing that King County is the countywide provider of mental health and substance abuse services, the committee will work to ensure that access to mental health and chemical dependency services is available to those who are most in need throughout the county, regardless of geographic location.

MIDD Equity Definition

The MIDD Advisory Committee ensures that the implementation and evaluation of strategies and programs funded by the MIDD sales tax revenue are transparent, accountable, collaborative, and effective. We believe that all community members should have access to behavioral health service that view their unique beliefs, cultures, identities, languages, lived experiences, and notions of health and well-being as strengths to promote recovery and resilience. We acknowledge that our society is rooted in systems of racism and oppression. Our behavioral health system contributes to the inequitable distribution of benefits and burdens which perpetuates avoidable health inequities in our community. Through intentional partnerships and investment in organizations committed to equity, the MIDD Advisory Committee commits to eliminating policies, practices, attitudes, and cultural messages that reinforce inequitable behavioral health outcomes.
