Charity & Humanitarian Aid,Social & Health Services
Summary: We’re building a more equitable future for all Washingtonians through services and advocacy that enable people to live healthier, more prosperous lives. The vision that guides us is of a strong and vibrant community, where all people have access to the basic human needs and opportunities that support their health, well-being and prosperity and that enable them to attain their full potential. In short, equity for all.
Mission: We play a vital role in providing safety-net services—food, shelter, warmth and financial tools—to Seattle residents in need. At the same time, we capitalize on our deep knowledge of our community as we work to effect systemic change. As an important part of these efforts, Byrd Barr Place leads the Seattle Community of Practice, a collaboration of community organizations working to address specific challenges and opportunities for African Americans, including access to and quality of education, housing, jobs and health care.
