History:
Southeast Youth and Family Services (formerly Southeast Youth Accountability Board and Southeast Youth Service Bureau) was founded in 1974 as part of the city wide community based juvenile offense diversion program, funded by the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), and administered by the City of Seattle. Between 1974 and 1982, funding shifted from LEAA to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). On March 1, 1982, the City of Seattle ceased its operational involvement, and the agency became a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, governed by a Board of Directors. The agency continues to receive CDBG funds, in addition to support from United Way of King County, Washington State DSHS, King County, the City of Seattle, corporate and foundation grants, and individual contributions.
