At Mini City Hall, nonprofit organizations team with city staff to deliver an array of services community members need. This month, two city programs, the Conflict Resolution Center and Small Business Consultants, began offering assistance at Mini City Hall, too.
For many years, the Bellevue Conflict Resolution Center has been aiding residents with various disputes and conflicts. Their work is primarily conducted over the phone from offices at City Hall. Whether it’s a dispute between neighbors or a landlord and tenant, CRC staff listen to each side without judgment and as a go-between help them develop action plans for resolution.
The Conflict Resolution Center now offers in-person services at Mini City on Wednesdays from noon to 2 p.m. Ask for an intake to take your first step toward resolution of your issue. Eastside Legal Assistance will join the CRC at Mini City Hall later in the year to offer legal support.
The Small Business Consultants offer free office hours from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays. The consultants can help with business resources, finding commercial space and navigating licenses and city permits. Drop-ins are welcome, but appointments are strongly encouraged. This new service will provide entrepreneurs and small business owners support that may not have been previously accessible to them.
One service provider at Mini City Hall, Pim Savvy, stopped operations at Mini City Hall this spring due to funding gaps. Mini City Hall staff are looking for an organization to replace Pim, which offered ESL classes, financial coaching, career advancement and free tax assistance.
Over the last 30 years, Mini City Hall has been a pivotal resource for community members across the Eastside, delivering culturally and linguistically appropriate programing to vulnerable populations. Mini City Hall services include:
Medicare and Medicaid consultations Computer and cellphone coaching Bellevue Utilities assistance King County Metro Orca cards
Ramu Ayyaluru is Mini City Hall’s program administrator.
