About the CARE Events Dashboard

The CARE Events Dashboard below shows all events for which CARE Community Crisis Responders (CCR) provided services, community engagement and logged to premises, as well as where those events occurred and when those events occurred.

The CARE Department responder pilot program first launched in late 2023, with six CCRs focused on Downtown and the Chinatown-International District. In the summer of 2024, Mayor Harrell announced plans to expand the pilot citywide and seven days a week. CARE hired 10 additional responders in 2024 and extended service to Capitol Hill, Central Area, First Hill, Judkins Park, Madison Park, Montlake, and upper Pike/Pine neighborhoods. In 2025, CARE hired 11 additional responders and began deploying to North Seattle neighborhoods in January and South and Southwest Seattle neighborhoods in March. There are currently 24 CCRs and three supervisors.
