Human Services

The Human Services Department funds and operates programs and services that meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable people in our community — families and individuals with low incomes, children, domestic violence and sexual assault victims, homeless people, seniors, and persons with disabilities.

We invest in programs that help people gain independence and success, and work with other City of Seattle departments to support Mayor Greg Nickels’ efforts to build strong families and healthy communities.
