Grantee Jurisdiction: Kittitas County <br />3. Chief Administrative Official and Title: Laura Osiadacz, Chair, Board of County Commissioners <br />4. CDBG Contract End Date or Project Completion Date: June 30, 2025 <br />5. Final Public Hearing Date: September 16, 2025 <br />6. Brief project summary and results achieved: <br /> <br />The HopeU life skills program was designed to support individuals navigating housing instability, <br />unemployment, and other barriers by providing practical tools and compassionate guidance. Through <br />classes focused on financial literacy, housing readiness, employment preparation, and personal <br />development, participants gained not only essential life skills but also a renewed sense of agency. <br />Throughout the program, individuals shared stories of growth—learning how to create a budget for the <br />first time, understanding their rights as tenants, preparing for job interviews, and building confidence in <br />themselves and their future. Many used the program as a steppingstone, connecting with additional <br />services and making progress toward goals they once felt were out of reach. <br />HopeU serves as more than a series of workshops, it is a place where people feel seen, supported, and <br />capable of change. The program embodied HopeSource’s Whole Person Care approach by treating each <br />person as more than their circumstances and offering a pathway forward built on dignity and hope. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7.
