Human Services Advisory Committee

Role

The City of Snoqualmie assigns a portion of its biennial budget to provide aid for residents in need. Human services are often provided directly by larger municipalities, however, the City of Snoqualmie contracts with community organizations to provide human services because the City does not employ staff with expertise in these areas.

The Human Services Advisory Committee is a Mayor's Advisory Committee that works with staff to identify and prioritize funding needs in the community, administer the funding application process, recommend budget allocations to the City Council, and review accountability reports from human services organizations to ensure efficient use of City funds. 

The application period is closed. The next application period will occur in August 2026 for the 2027-2028 biennium.
