Get help with DSHS applications at South Sound Outreach Services.

It's easier than it used to be to get help from the Department of Social and Health Services. New intake systems mean that you can apply for any DSHS benefits programs in one of three ways:

1. Apply online here.
2. Apply in person at the DSHS office. Visit the DSHS website to find an Community Services Office (CSO) near you.
3. Apply at any of our locations. Our staff can answer your questions, help you fill out your application, and submit it online.

Learn about what benefits you might quaify for on the DSHS website.
