Funds will be used over the next three years for a variety of supports including temporary rent assistance, project operations and supportive services for emergency housing assistance, as well as permanent housing solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAvailability of rapid housing and supportive services is critical to bringing people inside today and preventing homelessness over the long term. This funding from HUD will immediately help to expand the work our service providers are able to do in communities all over the state,\u201d said Gov. Jay Inslee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWashington is known for innovation and collaboration in addressing our greatest challenges, and homelessness is no different,\u201d said Commerce Director Lisa Brown. \u201cWe are grateful to HUD for recognizing our successful approaches and partnerships that are making a difference. Homelessness is not just an urban problem, and this funding will be important to expanding some of those efforts in our rural communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Projects receiving funds are:<\/p>\n<p>Mason County<\/p>\n<p>$613,083 to Community Lifeline of Mason County for supportive services and housing navigation for adults experiencing homelessness.

This funding targets unsheltered homelessness in the country\u2019s rural communities. HUD awarded grants based on need, past performance, current capacity, leveraging other community resources (such as housing and health care), and state plans for using this and other fund sources to end homelessness.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the $9 million grant that must be spent over the next three years, more than $3 million is eligible for renewal annually after that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Learn More&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.commerce.wa.gov\/serving-communities\/homelessness\/continuum-of-care\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-154","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":349,"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/154\/revisions\/349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagingserver3.com\/fwblack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
