About Pioneer Human Services

For over 60 years, Pioneer Human Services has beenhelping justice-involved individuals reintegrate backinto our communities.

In 1963, Jack Dalton opened a single halfway house in Seattle and founded Pioneer Human Services. Since then, Pioneer has expanded into a robust nonprofit, operating a broad range of over 50 programs across Washington state.

Pioneer assists people reentering society from prison or jail as well as those who are overcoming substance use disorders and mental health issues.

The organization offers an integrated array of treatment, housing, training and employment services.

Our business model is also unique. Unlike mostnonprofits, Pioneer is a nonprofit social enterprise.We operate a diverse line of businesses that provideon-the-job training and work experience for the peoplewe serve, while currently generating $93 million inrevenue that helps fund our social mission.

As socialentrepreneurs, we combine the passionate pursuit ofour mission with the discipline and innovation of a forprofit company.
