The City of Seattle Human Services Department and Public Health-Seattle and King County provide one-stop access to several benefit programs for low-income to moderate income families and individuals through the PeoplePoint: Bridge to Benefits initiative (formerly Help for Working Families). The assistance provided includes food assistance. This relates to the Food Stamp Program.

The Project Share program provides payments on utility bills for low-income Seattle City Light customers through voluntary contributions. A grant from Project Share is generally made in conjunction with the customer's co-payment. A grant from Project Share can substantially reduce or eliminate the customer's light bill crisis.
