Legislation Title:

A RESOLUTION adopting the Seattle Human Services Department Strategic Investment Plan

Update 2008-2010 for the City of Seattle.

· Summary of the Legislation:

This resolution formally adopts (with Mayoral concurrence) the Human Services Department Strategic Investment Plan Update for 2008 to 2010.

· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):

The SIP provides high-level policy direction for the City of Seattle’s investments in health and human services, helps identify the most effective strategies and programs, and encourages collaboration with funders, community-based service providers, and other partners. The first version of the SIP was adopted by Resolution 30654 in 2004. This is the first full update to the SIP since this date.

_XX_ This legislation does not have any financial implications.  (Stop here and delete the remainder of this document prior to saving and printing.)

____ This legislation has financial implications.  (Please complete all relevant sections that follow.)

Note: This legislation does not contain an appropriation. The legislation does, however, signal the City’s intent to provide significant, continuing appropriations to meet the human services needs of Seattle’s residents. This commitment to future funding, though not legally binding, represents the City’s ethos of caring for its most vulnerable populations and moving these persons towards economic self-sufficiency and away from the human services continuum of programs.
