City of Lakewood

See the results of the Human Services Needs Assessment Survey

Lakewood is a city founded in the principle of creating livable communities where all individuals have access to the resources they need. Human Services plays a vital role in working toward ensuring all citizens have access to the resources they need to thrive. Resources include: basic needs assistance for low income individuals and families, housing assistance including information regarding landlord tenant laws, assistance for individuals with disabilities and special needs and access to services that support our youth.

In an effort to ensure all citizens can participate in our community, the City has committed resources to and worked with local non-profit agencies to invest in programs and services that enable all Lakewood citizens to enjoy a higher quality of life. Working together is not only what makes Lakewood unique, but what makes it a great community to live, work and play in!
