UDSM provides services within the University District as well as the larger Seattle area. Currently we are providing services at six main sites on a monthly/bi-monthly basis.
We strive to cultivate rapport and long-term relationships with clients by visiting these sites on a regular schedule. We are constantly looking to expand our service areas to meet the needs of our population.
