Summary

The Department of Community and Human Services values diverse perspectives and life experiences. The Department encourages people of all backgrounds to apply, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, immigrants, refugees, women, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, veterans, and those with lived experiences.

King County's Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) provides equitable opportunities for people to be healthy, happy, and connected to community.

The Behavioral Health and Recovery Division (BHRD) offers people living with or at risk of behavioral health conditions services and supports using several different fund sources, one of which is a countywide 0.1% sales tax known as the MIDD Behavioral Health Sales Tax Fund. The second implementation of this fund, referred to as MIDD 2, began in 2017 and runs through 2025, funding 52 initiatives under the strategy areas of prevention and early intervention, crisis diversion, recovery and reentry, system improvements and therapeutic courts. MIDD 2 requires a comprehensive, historical review and assessment report of the strategies, services and programs supported by this fund source. Further, a MIDD Implementation Plan is required to guide future investments of a renewed MIDD sales tax beginning in 2026. The renewal of the sales tax for 2026-2034 would create the opportunity for BHRD to strategically invest in programs and services that will have a significant impact on the behavioral health system in King County.

The MIDD Renewal Program Manager III will report to the MIDD Renewal Manager and will play a crucial role in the MIDD renewal assessment and planning process.
