The City of Spokane is a great place to combine community support with expertise. There are more than 30 boards, commissions and committees made up of volunteers who help shape our community. If you have one day a year, or one day a week, there is an opportunity for you. Pick your passion and get involved!

Community, Housing, and Human Services Board Vacancies

Are you looking for an opportunity to benefit our community through affordable housing and human services? The vision of the Community, Housing, and Human Services Board is to provide opportunities that enhance the quality of life for Spokane’s extremely low- to moderate-income populations. Board members strive to provide leadership and foster partnerships that support the City’s investments in services, affordable housing and economic opportunities to foster the highest level of self-sufficiency and quality of life for such households.


The rewards of being part of a thoughtful, involved and supportive process can be done in an average of 5 to 10 hours per month by attending meetings, networking and researching issues our community faces. Board positions are three-year terms.


The application deadline is Tuesday Jan. 31, 2023. Submit applications to mayor@spokanecity.org.
