Housing Authority of Kittitas County (HAKC) strives to enhance the Ellensburg community by

management providcd by HopeSource and other supportive services through Elmview.
HopeSource purpose is to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to encourage those
who can. Our goals are to end homelessness in our community, and to support people on their
way to building self-sufficient lives. HopeSource has a 50 year history as a private, non-profit

2. Project Description Summary: Provide a brief summary the project being proposed and
a general description of how it will address homelessness or affordable housing in
Kittitas County. Be sure and indicate whether the proposal is intended to provide direct
client services or construction, maintenance, or improvement of housing facilities. (250
words max.)
Housing Authority of Kittitas County, HopeSource and Elmview propose to collaborate on a
combination of rental vouchers supported by wrap around case management and supportive
services. Housing Authority of Kittitas County, in conjunction with the Yakima Housing
Authority, will continue to provide vouchers to 25 households and will work with HopeSource
and Elmview for wrap around case management with the goal of graduating tenants from
subsidized voucher housing to permanent unsubsidized housing. Case management includes
connection to mental health professionals, substance abuse counselors, and job training
resources.
Case management is based in the progressive engagement model of light, medium and heavy
service touch designed to deliver only what is needed in order to move a household forward,
recognizing that some circumstances require more support than others to break free of barriers.
HopeSource case managers connect households internally to energy assistance, youth
scholarships, transportation, and life skills education including budgeting, credit and debt, and
employment preparation. They connect households externally with resources such as mental
health, physical health, substance counseling, and job searching.
Linking housing vouchers with case management could potentially lead to the launch of an
innovative Pathways to Permanence project where Housing Authority, HopeSource and Habitat
for Humanity would partner to provide homeless households immediate shelter, then case
management in subsidized housing, ending with successful homeownership.
People succeed as they are supported and empowered to break the cycle of dependence on
services and provided the tools to move forward with their lives. Employment is a critical
element. Work enhances self-esteem, provides an opportunity to build skills and a supportive
social support network, and income which enables the individual and family to be able to build
assets which support them to move to invest in themselves and their families' future. The
collaboration of three local agencies outlined in this proposal provides the support and
framework to move families to self-sufficiency and the opportunity to positively engage in our
communities.

3. County Priorities: Indicate which of the following priorities are being addressed by the
proposed project. (Select all that apply and give a brief 100 word description for each
selected.)
o Increase capacity and sustainability for homeless sheltering.
o Connect shelter clients to services to reduce homelessness.

around case management through current partnerships.
This collaboration between HopeSource, Elmview and Housing Authority of Kittitas County
will enable Housing Authority to begin the process of submitting site based vouchers which
include wrap around case management, the first step in moving to the future designation of a
number of units for homeless households.

how the project is or isn't a duplication of current services . (250 words max.)
In the Kittitas County Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, in Goal No. 1 the first priority
mentioned is to increase site based rental vouchers. There are no other organizations in Kittitas
County that provide Section 8 and V ASH vouchers coupled with wrap around case management.
10
6. Sustainabllity : Describe your ability, experience, and resources to implement and
sustain the project during the term of the project. (250 words max.)
The Supportive Services program is not sustainable without Kittitas County funds. Housing
Authority of Kittitas County, HopeSource and Elmview continue to seek sustainable funding
sources for these types of programs and is in discussion with foundations and other sources of
State and Federal grant funding. Funding specifically for case management for populations with
multiple barriers is scarce at every level of government and in every community. Housing
Authority of Kittitas County, HopeSource and Elmview utilize other grant sources to backfill the
county funding, and sponsor annual fund-raisers to augment government and foundation grants.
HopeSource Case Managers are trained in family dynamics, home health worker certification,
care coordination, mental and physical first aid, SOAR benefits training, deescalation and trauma
informed care. Advocates have a combined 38 years of experience working with vulnerable, low
income populations and seniors. Elmview Employment Specialists are trained in Supportive
Employment and Individual Placement and Support and the development of Person Centered
Plans for individualized client engagement and planning.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
1. Funding Utilization: Describe how the funds will be used to support the proposed
project. For example, will the funds be used for staff time, supplies , consultants,
contractors, construction costs, direct customer services, etc.? (250 words max .)
The funding will be used prlmarlly for the activity of staff In the provisi on of case management and
supportive serJl~es for Housing AuthGrlty tenants. Elmvle'W will wo rk In partnership with HopeSbu~ce and
the HOllslng Autho rity O.f Kittitas County to support Identified Individuals to find and keep employment.
The bulk of the funds requested qre far staff dedicated to the proJeJ:t. The primary staff cost 15 for the
Case Manager and Employment Specialist.
Housing Authority of Kittitas County, HopeSource and Elmvlew are reque sting an initial grant award of
$117,256 fora two year grant pe/'Iod January 1, 2018 throu gn Decemb~r 31, 2019 with a 5% annual
Increase. Total request equals ~24 0,374.
14
2. Other Support: Describe any monetary, in-kind, donations, grants, or other types of
support that will be used for the project. Include both guaranteed support and support
that may still be uncertain. (250 words max .)
Additional funding support will be provided by Housing Authority of Kittitas County and Elmvlew In t he
form of an In Kind donation of office spare, utility expense and supplies as detailed In the attached
budget. Elmviewwllf contribute office space, office, computer, and network support for this project
valued at $16;000.
15
3. Sustainabillty: Describe how this project would or wouldn't be sustained if these
Homelessness Prevention and Affordable Housing funds were not available either
currently or in the future. (250 words max.)
Without county support for wrap around case management, the Housing Authority Pathways to
Permanence project could not move forward. While other grants can augment some ofthe case
management resource time, it would not be sufficient to support a structured program with the
Housing Authority that would be successful. Elmview has a long-established relationship with
state agencies which fund employment services for individuals with significant barriers to
employment. It is anticipated that as individuals are identified for employment supports,
Elmveiw will work to establish eligibility for programs which will enable program participants to
find and sustain employment. Elmview is an Employment Network which contracts with the
Social Security Administration through SSA's Ticket to Work program. Those individuals who
are receiving Social Security or who become recipients of Social Security while working with
Case Managers will become eligible to participate in the Ticket to Work program. Ticket to
Work provides long-term support to people to be and stay employed and thereby, move off
Social Security. The strategies above will ensue the sustainability of the employment support
and training component for this program.
16
4. Partial Funding: If this project were to receive only partial funding from this source,
how would the project be impacted? How would the proposal be adjusted for less than
the requested amount of funds? (250 words max.)
The leve l of supportfye service provided an d the numbers of tenant served would be Impacted by a
dedsion to only partially fund th is project.

HOUSING AUTHORITY/ HOPESOURCE / ELMVIEW-HASS
1. Project Description-Redo this paragraph and take out all of the program description. What we need to
know is which agency is doing what part of this partnership. Also, you mention Habitat for Humanity?
Are they part of this project? If so, where do they fit in and what do they do? NG
HopeSource's revised Project description:
HAKC, HopeSource and Elmview propose to collaborate on a combination of rental
vouchers supported by wrap around case management and supportive services. HAKC, in
conjunction with the Yakima Housing Authority, will continue to provide vouchers to 25
households and will contract with HopeSource and Elmview for wrap around case
management and employment training with the goal of graduating tenants from subsidized
voucher housing to permanent unsubsidized housing.
HopeSource case managers will provide households with Supportive Services and connect
them internally to energy assistance, youth scholarships, transportation, and life skills
education including budgeting, credit and debt, and employment preparation. They connect
households externally with resources such as nutrition security, mental health, physical
health, substance counseling, and job searching.
Elmview case managers will provide Employment Services that support and empower
families with job searching and training for the workforce.
The collaboration of the three local agencies outlined provide the support and framework to
move families to self-sufficiency and potential home ownership opportunities through a
Habitat for Humanity home ownership program or other conventional opportunity.
Habitat for Humanity is included by reference as a community partner whom we may refer
our successful graduating households to for a home ownership opportunity.
2. Is this a pilot for a Pathways to Permanence project? Or, is that an additional part ofthis
project? It's difficult to understand.
The philosophy of this program is to move people from subsidized housing to permanent
housing that households can afford without subsidy. Strategies include improving wages,
improved budgeting skills, and finance management. The "pathways to permanence" is a
phrase used by community action agencies to describe the work Community Action does to
move households into stability and self-sufficiency.
3. . Goals, Strategies and Measures-very confusing, not specific enough and do not include
timelines at this point. The responsibilities of each agency should be identified in this
section as well. What will be done, how will it be accomplished and who is responsible for
each strategy and/or measure? NG
See updated Goals worksheet.
4. In the budget narrative, Funding and Utilization, outline which agency receives funding, the
work they do for the funding, and how much funding. Who coordinates the budget and how
will each agency receive their funding? Why the 5% increase each year? Approximate the
amounts of the in-kind contributions of the two year span. NG
The non-administrative staff cost will be shared by HopeSource and Elmview for
supportive service and supportive employment staff activity to be determined by the
individual needs of the clients. Administrative functions will be administrated by
HopeSource and its staff. The 5%increase covers the 3% increase in COLA (cost of living
allowance) and projected operations cost increases.
Approximately $17,000.00 in in-kind contributions from the Housing Authority and
Elmview for space, utility, supplies and equipment costs over the two year period.
5. Proposal Details #1: Applicant profile and Qualifications page 4 348 words. Obviously, this
is not a question. I merely want it on record. JF
Understood.
6. Proposal Details #2: Project Description Summary page 5 19 words. Obviously, this is not
a question; I merely want it on record. Why is Habitat for Humanity and not Elmview
referred to in paragraph 3? JF
Habitat for Humanity, unlike Elmview provides homeownership opportunity which is one
of the goals of this program.
7. Proposal Details #3: county priorities page 8-why is Habitat for Humanity referred to here?
JF
See above
8. Proposal details #4: Partnerships page 9-274 words. Obviously, this is not a questions; I
merely want it on record. Are these entities actual, real partners with HopeSource? JF
HopeSource regularly works with and considers the organizations listed in the grant as
collaborative partners in meeting the needs of vulnerable populations in our community.
The term partnership among social service providers in a community is a generally
accepted term that defines cooperation and inter-referral among agencies within that
community.
9. Proposal Details #6: Partnerships page 11-you state in the first paragraph, " ... utilize other
grant sources to backfill ... " What other grant sources? JF
HopeSource operates a variety of grants in central Washington, many of which can be
leveraged or used as match to fill in any gaps in funding.
10. Goals and Objectives form page 12-All three pages have the same
question: Why are there no measurable listed? On the third of these pages
where it states, in the top box, " ... HopeSource and Habitat for
Humanity ... " What does Habitat have to do with this funding request? JF
See revised goals worksheets
(The Pathways to Permanence narrative and goals sheet has been removed from our
grant proposal.)
11. Budget Narrative #1-Funding Utilization page 14-What is the actual
amount you are asking for on this specific grant? JF
We are requesting $117,256.00 for the initial 2018 grant year with a 5% escalator
for the remaining year.
12. Budget Narrative #3: Sustainability page 15-You state "Those individuals who are
receiving Social Security or who become recipients ... " Is this SSA retirement of
disability? JF
Individuals may be recipients of either/or SSA or SSDI
13. How many clients do you expect to serve with this grant? GC
We are targeting 25 households annually.
14. Please explain the application, screening and selection process. GC
Participants of the program must first qualify for HAKC housing and are then selected
from the HAKe waitlist per their required waitlist selection criteria.
15. Who audits how the money is spent to ensure the best interests of Kittitas County taxpayers?
GC
Kittitas County Auditor is responsible for auditing all county expenditures. HopeSource is
annually audited by an external account and has received 11 consecutive years of clean
audits.
16. Are all the vouchers used each year? GC
Housing Authority has committed 25 housing based vouchers to this project which we
anticipate using.
17. How will you me as ure the success of you r pro gram? GC
Per the updated goals worksheet
18. Before the 2019, 2020, etc. monies are released, how will you report, and what will you
report, on the expenditures of the prior yearto the committee? GC
We will work with the HAHC and the Board of Commissioners to create a reporting
tool which meets requirements.
