The goal in Kittitas County <br />now is to make homelessness rare, brief, and a one-time event. Until the underlying social issues that lead people to become homeless are addressed, The Plan is to prevent homelessness <br />whenever possible and help people quickly regain stable housing and overcome their barriers to sustaining that housing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Actions outlined in the Strategic Objectives Matrices Section of the plan are intended to address homelessness by promoting a continuum of housing and support services that augment individual <br />and family stability, resiliency, and economic independence. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Eligibility: Eligible applicants consist of local nonprofit housing providers and nonprofit organizations, State and local governments, instrumentalities of local governments, and public <br />housing agencies. Priority is given to applicants who propose to target services to individuals who are chronically homeless, literally homeless or at risk of homelessness, seniors or <br />disabled, as well as those with prior experience delivering services to the target population. Shovel-ready projects will be given the highest priority. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Length of Awards: Reimbursable grant, the project must be completed within 24 months of award, unless otherwise authorized by the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Available Funding for Awards: The amount available for this award period is approximately $400,000.00. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Anticipated Number of Awards: It is anticipated that Kittitas County HAHC will have funding available for 1-2 new awards.  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Grant Applications: Grant Applications will be released on Wednesday, April 7th, 2021 and the deadline submission is Friday, May 14th, 2021 at 4:00 pm.
