Ripple effects of federal grant delays hit Spokane’s nonprofits
Cuts to housing, childcare, Medicaid could send shockwaves throughout the region
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=050330c5f7&e=b80de0d97c>

Nonprofit leaders across Spokane are bracing for the fallout of federal budget freezes, delayed grants, and potential funding cuts that could weaken essential services for thousands
of residents in the region.
Over the past several weeks, at least a dozen nonprofit organizations have reached out to Ryan Oelrich, executive director of Priority Spokane, with concerns about frozen grants or clawed
back. The uncertainty is making it difficult to plan operations or make hiring decisions, Oelrich says.
“That huge uncertainty is also highly damaging to nonprofits that are often operating on shoestring budgets,” he says.
While few organizations have seen their core funding eliminated outright, many are feeling the pressure of a slow-moving crisis. The greatest concern among organizations like Family
Promise of Spokane, YWCA of Spokane, and Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=015f05a7a1&e=b80de0d97c>
is not the loss of a single grant, but what happens when entire systems—from housing to health care to early childcare education—start to falter in tandem.
“My fear, and it started here already, is that really the safety net literally has holes starting to be poked in it,” says Julie Honekamp, SNAP CEO, describing the moment as a rollercoaster
unlike any crisis she’s weathered in her 26 years with the nonprofit.
Constant changes to program funding happen every day, changing by the hour in some cases, and create more instability and confusion, Honekamp says.
To track this uncertainty, SNAP built a color-coded dashboard to keep track of programs. Yellow programs have either reduced services or pending changes, and red programs have been fully
paused. Green programs are operating as usual.
SNAP is nearly 60 years old and serves about 40,000 people annually. It operates about 30 programs, many of which rely on braided funding, where multiple streams are woven together to
support a single service. It has a staff of about 150 and an annual operating budget of $37 million, with 62% of that coming from governmental sources, and 34% of that government share
coming from federal funds, Honekamp says.

more time to stabilize before moving to longer-term treatment.
“This is a smart way to use limited resources to save lives,” says Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello.
The program is funded by opioid settlement dollars and will run through February 2027.

More tiny homes have officially arrived at Caswell-Brown Village!
Thanks to the continued efforts of Community Build volunteers and the generosity of those who have donated, we’ve now installed several additional units at OlyCAP’s supervised tiny shelter
village in Jefferson County.
Each new home means another neighbor with a door to lock, a roof overhead, and a chance to breathe, reset, and rebuild. We are not done yet, but every new unit is a major step forward.
Thank you to everyone who’s pitched in, picked up a hammer, or helped fund the next delivery!
Caswell-Brown Village is growing—and with your help, we can create more safe, stable housing for our neighbors in need. We have the land, the utilities, and newly built tiny shelters
ready to go. Now, we just need the community to come together and make it happen.
We are raising funds to transport the shelters from where they were built to Caswell-Brown Village, turning plans into reality. By donating today, you're investing in Caswell-Brown Village
and programs that improve living conditions for families in Clallam and Jefferson Counties.

Scholarship, a new opportunity designed to support young leaders from low-income households in Klickitat and Skamania Counties by removing transportation as a key barrier to growth.
The scholarship provides full tuition for a local Driver’s Education course, helping youth gain the freedom and mobility they need to pursue leadership, job opportunities, education,
and community engagement. In addition to meeting eligibility criteria, applicants are asked to share what they are passionate about, how they want to lead, and how access to driving
would help them reach their goals.
“We want to hear from youth about what drives them, what they care about, where they want to spend their energy, and we want to help remove the barriers in their way,” said Chris Cazares,
Education and Engagement Coordinator at WAGAP. “Driving shouldn’t be what stops a young person from showing up for their future or their community.”

‘It gets back to us’: Federal funding’s potential impact on rural programs
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=34bdf304e2&e=b80de0d97c>
<https://mcusercontent.com/acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb/images/46502190-4153-feed-d3ec-c75c7365eb93.jpg>
Many government departments have been affected by federal spending cuts this year, with mass layoffs, pulled grants, and incoming budget proposals that could eliminate more programs.
These budgetary decisions will have a significant impact on local nonprofits, including South Plains Community Action Association <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda
818ebd4ce40eb&id=e049458710&e=b80de0d97c> , or SPCAA.
SPCAA is a nonprofit based in Levelland that serves approximately 114 counties in Texas, almost half the state. It has six divisions: Child Care, Community Services, Housing, Head Start
and Early Head Start, Health Services, and SPARTAN Transportation.
Some of the programs within those divisions include Workforce Solutions <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=f8289cba9c&e=b80de0d97c>
, the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition program <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=e4a46c717c&e=b80de0d97c> , and utility
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=2a3dfce25f&e=b80de0d97c> and weatherization <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bb
da818ebd4ce40eb&id=479b8c2aa7&e=b80de0d97c> assistance.
Samantha Mendoza is the communications director for SPCAA. She said that when it comes to nonprofits and their programs, a lot of people don’t know where the funding comes from.
“For the most part, it starts at the very top of the Congressional Budget and gets filtered down to government agencies and then down to the states,” Mendoza explained. “But eventually
it gets back to us.”
While SPCAA provides service for the city of Lubbock, most of its coverage and the bulk of its assistance is in rural communities.
“We always say that the distances are vast, but the need is even greater,” Mendoza said. “Rural communities feel economic instability. They feel cost of living. They feel inflation and
high cost of food and gas and all of that. They bear that weight just as much as the rest of the state does, if not more.”
SPCAA tries to be the first stepping stone for people who need extra help. According to Mendoza, a big part of providing that help is making connections in the community.
“It looks like your neighbor, it looks like me and you, it looks like anybody that you can pass across the street,” she said. “That's who our clients are. It's not exclusive to just
elderly folks or people on Medicaid. It's anybody and everybody.”
The reach and impact of SPCAA programs is at risk of becoming smaller when it comes to potential cuts to funding like the Community Services Block Grant <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/tra
ck/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=74d3e228eb&e=b80de0d97c> .
“This past year, in 2024, we had 1.5 million units of service,” Mendoza explained. “And that looks like people going into WIC clinics for their appointments, Head Start children enrolled
in our centers, people hopping on a SPARTAN bus to get to and from their dialysis appointments. Elderly folks looking for weatherization assistance, job seekers who are looking for
career development and training. That's 1.5 million units of service that – it's not going to stay the exact same. If that funding gets reduced, it then gets naive, for sure, to assume
that we're going to be able to operate at the same magnitude that we're operating.”
Without SPCAA, Mendoza said many of these communities don’t have other organizations to step in and fill the gaps, so families and individuals would lose assistance altogether.
“If that's the only Head Start in your county, or that's the only WIC clinic in your county, and the funding goes away for that, and those clinics or those Head Start centers have to

Webinar Worth Watching
Braiding Financial Resources for Lasting Impact & Long-Term Sustainability
In case you missed it, NCAP hosted an important webinar titled "Braiding Financial Resources for Lasting Impact & Long-Term Sustainability" with nonprofit financial expert Kay Sohl.
This timely webinar focuses on strategies for effectively combining multiple funding streams to support high-quality services while ensuring compliance with funder requirements.
The presenter emphasized the importance of aligning funding sources with an organization's mission and goals. Practical tools and real-world examples were provided to help participants
navigate the complexities of managing various funding streams. The webinar aims to equip CAAs with the knowledge and skills needed to build a more sustainable future for their organizations
and the communities they serve.
Weatherization Directors and Managers are encouraged to watch and share the recording with their Executive Director and financial leaders. The recordings, slides, and supplemental materials

Capable Allies: Partnering with Law Enforcement in Response to Homelessness
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=536b2c0d3d&e=b80de0d97c>

As homelessness continues to increase <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=a2e4e87eee&e=b80de0d97c> across the United States, many communities
find that law enforcement agencies have the potential to be capable allies in addressing homelessness-related issues and crime.
Recently, our organization, Safe Night, joined with the National Alliance to End Homelessness and other law enforcement partners who work to address both community safety and homelessness.
This collaboration is specifically in response to a recent request <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=6f4276135b&e=b80de0d97c> from
the U.S. Department of Justice on the most effective ways to address homelessness.
Safe Night works directly with communities to provide solutions to increase community trust and safety, we fully support the effort to bring capable law enforcement officers into the
fold. It is essential that they have the training necessary to build resilient relationships with collateral professionals and interact with people experiencing homelessness from a
trauma-informed perspective.
Increasingly, law enforcement agencies recognize that enforcement-only approaches are not effective in the long term. In fact, they cause friction in community efforts to manage homelessness.
Simply clearing encampments and making arrests without coordination and planning with service providers presents two significant problems.

Seattle to ban controversial rent-setting software RealPage
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=b99142ca30&e=b80de0d97c>

Seattle will soon ban the controversial rent-setting platform RealPage and similar services, becoming the latest local government to take aim at a technology that critics say helps drive
up housing costs.
The Seattle City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban a widely used class of software that gathers information from an array of properties and uses that data to recommend rental
prices to landlords. The most notable company providing that type of software, RealPage, is under legal fire nationwide after allegations that its products allow landlords to collude
and charge higher prices.
Given “the fact that rent really is too darn high,” the ban is “one small way that we can contribute to making this a more diverse and equitable city,” said Councilmember Cathy Moore,
who sponsored the bill. Moore plans to resign <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=50447b2994&e=b80de0d97c> from the council in July,
citing health and personal reasons, and has faced criticism from some progressives for her support of potential rollbacks to city tenant protections <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/

Putting Scenario Planning to Work for Weatherization
July 8 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Scenario planning helps organizations prepare for a range of possible futures—best-case to worst-case—by focusing on high-impact, high-probability risks. With ongoing policy shifts,
funding uncertainty, and unpredictable weather, this structured approach supports better decision-making and builds resilience in times of uncertainty. NCAP’s Scenario Planning Toolkit
offers templates and guidance to assess financial, operational, and community impacts, and helps teams develop decision filters to guide responses. This session will provide a brief
overview of scenario planning, highlight key resources and approaches from the Toolkit, and use peer discussion to explore how Weatherization program managers can apply scenario planning
in their departments and in their organizations.

Judge tosses legal challenge to WA race-based housing assistance
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=8e546d0207&e=b80de0d97c>

Washington’s down-payment assistance program for people who faced racial housing discrimination can stand for now.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against the program Tuesday, marking a win for the state but offering the groups fighting the program two weeks to refile their case and try again.
The legal battle stems from an effort that has helped hundreds of homebuyers of color <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=8b98eb6ee9&e=b80de0d97c>
across Washington in its early months of operation while also drawing conservative scrutiny. The outcome of the lawsuit will decide whether Washington can proceed with the novel program
amid a broader pullback from diversity programs.
Washington lawmakers created the Covenant Homeownership Program in 2023, offering zero-interest loans to cover down payments and closing costs for certain first-time homebuyers of color
who meet income and other requirements. A fee on recorded real estate documents funds the program, which began issuing loans last summer.
The loans are open to first-time homebuyers who lived in the state before the Fair Housing Act outlawed housing discrimination in 1968 or whose parents, grandparents or great-grandparents
lived in the state at the time if the person who lived in the state was Black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Korean or Asian Indian.

Beacon Food Forest: One of America’s largest public food forests grows in Seattle
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=b6b871d621&e=b80de0d97c>

Tucked into the western edge of Jefferson Park is a place that feels like a secret garden — if that garden were seven acres of public land where anyone, at any time, can harvest fresh
produce, pick medicinal herbs, or join a work party with their neighbors.
Welcome to Beacon Food Forest <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=894753776c&e=b80de0d97c> , one of the largest public food forests
in the United States — and just maybe the most hopeful piece of land in Seattle.
Founded in 2009 by a group of University of Washington permaculture students with a big idea, the Beacon Food Forest (BFF) has become a national model for what community-led urban agriculture
can look like. But you might be wondering — what exactly is a food forest?
Not Just a Garden
A food forest is a place meant to mimic the layers and systems of a natural forest, Community Relations Director Priya Marita Diaz explained on a recent tour. Each tree is the center
of a "plant guild" — a group of plants that support one another. So an apple tree surrounded by chives and comfrey, with yarrow thriving underneath.
"It's not just a monolith rows of crops," said Diaz.
The forest isn't fenced in, and it doesn't charge admission. In fact, most of it operates under a policy called "open harvest" — which means anyone can forage freely, no questions asked.

Washington prison gardens yield thousands of pounds of donated produce
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=385e8fac2e&e=b80de0d97c>

Nonprofit Harvest Now donates the seeds to each prison with an understanding that the produce will be donated to local food banks.
A program within Washington’s Department of Corrections (DOC) is not only teaching incarcerated people useful skills, but also benefiting the surrounding community. Each year, the impact
is growing.
The DOC taps into resources from nonprofit Harvest Now <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=e5d0ec0506&e=b80de0d97c> , which donates
up to $500 worth of seeds to prisons with an agreement that 75% of produce grown will be donated to local foodbanks.
Benri Deanon has been overseeing the gardening program at Shelton’s prison for about 10 years now and said they’ve expanded their facilities to include four greenhouses and about 1.5
acres of plants.
They’ve watched their impact grow through the years with that expansion. The first donation from Shelton in 2014 yielded around 3,000 pounds of produce to local food banks, but the 2024
donation skyrocketed to nearly 18,000 pounds of food.
Benri said other DOC facilities have followed suit. Now, eight Washington prisons have gardening programs supplied by Harvest Now seed donations. In 2024, the prisons collectively donated
a personal record of 68,504 pounds of produce grown from $3,000 in seed donations.
That food was donated to 14 different food banks in five counties around the state.

Millions of households with low income must make difficult decisions every day when juggling the cost of many essential expenses — housing, food, utilities, child care, transportation
to work, health care, and more. While costs continue to rise, income remains limited. Nearly half <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=ce0d92513e&e=b

7c> budget bills propose significant cuts to critical assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), including limiting the states’ “Heat and Eat” programs,
which will force many households with low incomes to make a tough decision: choosing between putting food on the table or cooling their homes during the summer and heating their homes
during the winter.
What Are SUAs?
The Standard Utility Allowance <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=1776a29af1&e=b80de0d97c> (SUA) is an essential component of SNAP.
It is part of the excess shelter cost deduction <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=5fcc9581c5&e=b80de0d97c> available to those applying
for SNAP to decrease their gross income. A standard amount is used to represent utility costs for households with low incomes, since actual utility costs can fluctuate and be challenging
to determine.
