Community Resources and Services
Services
The City of Spokane's Community, Housing & Human Services Department partners with area social services agencies rather than providing direct service to clients. Our primary function is administering the funds that the city receives from the federal, state and local governments to address homelessness. The CHHS Department does not provide direct housing and/or homelessness services or assistance.
The following links will connect you to agencies that provide direct customer service:
