• Assure access to City services and facilities;
  
  
• Recommend policies, practices, and legislation to the City in matters affecting the concerns of people with disabilities; and
  
  
• Encourage understanding among people with various disabilities as well as between people with disabilities and the larger Seattle community.

The Seattle Office for Civil Rights provides staff and support to the Commission.
