Progress Updates

  • The 2025 Human Services Needs update was published and reported to the community.
  • Ninety-nine percent of agencies met their contracted performance goals, and site visits were completed for all scheduled agencies.
  • The Human Services Division supported low-income homeowners through the Home Repair Program despite a program pause due to federal funding issues.
  • Per the Strategic Plan, human services staff provided technical support and guidance to help agencies successfully contract with the City of Bellevue.
  • Per the Strategic Plan, the work of contracted agencies addresses the most significant gaps and disparities, as indicated by data, including culturally and linguistically specific services; shelter, housing, and housing stability; food and basic needs; and behavioral health.

Look Ahead

  • City Councilmembers will receive a briefing on the Human Services Needs Update in January, alongside the recommendations from the Human Services Commission for percentage funding amounts for the 2027-28 cycle.
