Attachment A: Kittitas County Priorities <br /> <br />1/10th of 1% Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Tax Grant <br />The overall goal of this grant is to improve behavioral health outcomes within Kittitas County <br />through projects that enhance access to service and care and reduce stigma.

All proposals are required to serve at least one priority <br />population and clearly demonstrate how the proposed activities will support behavioral health <br />improvements in the selected population. <br />The Board of County Commissioners will prioritize projects with a prevention focus and projects <br />that are able to produce measurable outputs which clearly link to long term outcomes. <br /> <br />• Youth <br />For the purposes of this RFP, youth are defined as children age birth through 17. <br /> <br />Please note that public school districts within Kittitas County are receiving funding to <br />support programs within each district, therefore proposals addressing youth while in a <br />public-school setting may not be prioritized. <br /> <br />• Veterans <br />Veterans are defined as every person who has received an honorable discharge, is actively <br />serving honorably, or received a discharge for physical reasons with an honorable record <br />from United States military service.
