About this fund

Fund 1850 (formerly Fund 114) accounts for Whatcom County's Veterans Assistance Program under RCW 73.08. Funded by a county-wide property-tax levy required under state law (1.125 cents to 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed value at the legislative authority's discretion). Shows up as "Whatcom County — Veteran's Relief" on the property tax bill.

Used for emergency assistance — rent, utilities, food, medical bills — for indigent veterans and their families residing in the County.
