City surveys community about human services needs

The City of Bellevue is launching a community survey to gather essential insights on local human services needs, crucial for the 2025 Human Services Needs Update. This update plays a significant role in determining how the city allocates its human services funding over the next two years. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of community needs, Bellevue is encouraging responses from residents and workers of all backgrounds through an online survey and hard copies available at various locations until April 30, 2025. The survey aims to capture diverse voices and experiences, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in decision-making processes. Hard copies can be found at City Hall and several community centers, making it accessible for everyone.

The findings will inform strategies to address gaps in services such as shelter, childcare, and behavioral health treatment. Additionally, the report will focus on supporting those with disabilities and survivors of domestic violence. This proactive approach underscores Bellevue’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all its residents.
