Public hearing on human services needs in Bellevue

The Bellevue Human Services Commission will conduct a hybrid public hearing on May 5, 2025, aimed at addressing the housing and human services needs of the community. This essential gathering will collect information from residents to inform the 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan. The CDBG allocations are designed to fill significant service gaps for low- and moderate-income individuals, focusing on areas such as food security, homelessness prevention, and health services. Written comments from the public will be accepted until noon on May 5, encouraging robust community engagement in local decisions. Details regarding the hearing agenda will be accessible on the Human Services Commission calendar starting May 1. Bellevue's commitment to serving marginalized groups, including youth, older adults, and those with disabilities, highlights the importance of this initiative. The hearing serves as a vital platform for residents to voice their needs and concerns, ensuring that the city’s funding recommendations are well-informed. This proactive approach exemplifies Bellevue’s dedication to fostering a thriving community through inclusive and responsive human services.
