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.
