The People's Budget
your voice, your choice
Fund an institute for community co-governance that would assist community-based organizations to convene community assemblies in Seattle. Community assemblies convene community members to identify issues, collaboratively workshop solutions, and propose and advocate for policy changes and programs to implement the resolutions. Assemblies engage and position community members as active policy designers of their environment and community.
This proposal is being evaluated
Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)
Rough cost estimate: Between $500,000 and $2 million
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor.
❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: There are existing organizations that could take this work on but would need an ongoing funding source.
Other notes: OPCD does not currently have this type of program but could develop it in partnership with other City departments and external stakeholders
