Human Services Needs Update
Since 1989 the City of Bellevue has published a current Human Services Needs Update during each two-year funding cycle. This report has offered a summary of human services trends, needs, disparities and gaps in Bellevue, East King County, King County and Washington.
The Needs Update helps the Human Services Commission develop focus areas for funding recommendations to the City Council, guides the city’s Human Services division and provides information for other city departments, faith communities, concerned community groups and nonprofit health and human services providers in King County.
The 2025-2026 Human Services Needs Update (linked below) provides a snapshot of current resident need.
