关于我们
The Seattle Human Services Department (HSD) lives out its mission, as one of the largest contributors to Seattle's safety net. HSD is responsible for investing hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to more than 200 community-based organizations and programs that support Seattle neighbors and communities each year. Through the lens of racial equity, HSD supports programs, initiatives, and policies that address six investment impact areas: 1) Preparing Youth for Success 2) Supporting Affordability and Livability 3) Addressing Homelessness 4) Promoting Public Health 5) Supporting Safe Communities 6) Promoting Healthy Aging This department serves as a funder, convener, and direct service provider to achieve positive results. HSD partners with community-based organizations, the public, and non-profit service providers to understand and address current and emerging human service needs, and to invest in the creation of a comprehensive and integrated regional human service system. As a city, Seattle is known as a progressive leader in technology, innovation and the environment. As an employer, the City of Seattle is leading local government in environmental stewardship, green building and social justice, making our City what it is today and shaping our future. Our employees play an important role in making this possible. You might be surprised by the variety and range of opportunities that are available at the City of Seattle. We have more than 1,200 job titles in 24 different departments, from the Office of Immigrant and Refugees Affairs or the Office of Arts & Culture to the Public Utilities and Department of Transportation.

#ElectionDay is just a few weeks away! If you're a domestic violence survivor, or an advocate working with survivors, it's never too early to start thinking about a safety plan for casting a ballot. Keep reading: https://bit.ly/46Zg0cI [Image description: Seven graphics with text reading: "Safe voting tips for domestic violence survivors. Vote when your abuser is busy. If you're worried about running into your abuser at your polling place, think about their schedule and try to pick a time when you think they may be busy. Ask a friend to support you. Even if your friend can't be with you in-person, they can stay in touch via text while you vote. Know a neighbor who's voting? See if they're willing to head to the polls together. Research so you can vote quickly. Planning how you're going to vote for can save you time at your polling place, especially if you have concerns about seeing your abuser while you vote. Practice self-care before and after voting. Planning a fun or relaxing activity around your vote can help minimize stress. Got a favorite grounding activity? Practice it while you wait in line. Ask a poll worker about secret voting. (Only if it’s safe for you to do so!) If you're voting with your abuser and worry they may force your vote, ask a poll worker if you can cast a secret ballot (if you feel safe doing so). Consider your vote-by-mail options. This can be especially helpful for survivors who have safety concerns about seeing an abuser at their polling place, or whose schedules don't allow them to vote on Election Day." The first graphic includes an illustration of three hands holding "vote" signs. All graphics include text reading: "NNEDV. org/SafeVoting" and the NNEDV logo, which logo consists of 66 small house shapes arranged in a large house shape, and text reading: "NNEDV National Network to End Domestic Violence."]
