Human Services Workforce Stabilization -- Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy

new funding opportunity is available from the VSHSL to improve staff recruitment and retention within eligible organizations with active VSHSL awards who are currently providing human services in King County.

We know that human services employees do some of the most vital work in our communities. Unfortunately, years of underinvestment in the human services workforce impacts programs, services, and the overall sector. Compounding challenges, such as employee turnover and persistent hard-to-fill vacancies, continue to impact the nonprofit sector and limit our ability to quickly respond to community needs.

Available funding: Up to $25,915,477 in Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy funds
Investment period: ​​October 1, 2025​ – ​December 31, 2026 (subject to change)
