How is DSHS organized?

DSHS is organized into administrations which direct the provision of food and cash assistance, long-term care, vocational rehabilitation, services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and behavioral health treatment for people in state-operated psychiatric hospitals as well as those with criminal justice involvement, and waiting to receive competency evaluation and restoration services. DSHS contracts with local government, private, and nonprofit contractors to deliver these services, and operates over 140 field offices and 12 state-run facilities throughout Washington.
