PROJECT DESCRIPTION • Name of Project or Program (please include HMIS name/number if applicable): Tiny Shelter Operations • Amount requested: _$95,359 _ • Provide a brief description of the Project or Program: (LIMIT 200 W OR Ds) BHS operates 25 Tiny Shelter units at Peter's Place in Port Hadlock and Pat's Place in Port Townsend. The units are filled with individuals and couples who need transitional housing and supportive services to guide their search for permanent housing and earn between 0-50%AMI. Each tiny shelter measures 8' x 12, is insulated, and has an electrical outlet, a light, a heater, a bed, and a locking door. Program participants at each village site share a community kitchen and sanitation facility. 5386 funds will be used to fund the operations and maintenance costs of these units, including the provision of supportive services (Site Monitor, Case Manager, Director of Supportive Services); maintenance services (Chief Engineer, Peer Support Specialist/Housekeeper, Property Manager); and administrative services (Development Director, Grant Writer, Accounting Manager). • Specify the Project or Program goals and expected outcomes. Specify the measures of success by which the Project or Program will be assessed. (LIMIT 300 WORDS) BHS will place up to 25 individuals(at Peter's Place, mostly seniors;at Pat's place,mostly low-income workers) into transitional housing and assist their search for permanent housing,which involves: • BHS participation in Jefferson County's coordinated entry system to identify the most vulnerable individuals for a swift move into transitional housing • Assessment of program participant circumstances and needs • Entering tenant data into the HMIS system • Commissioning a background check for each program participant: Case management staff work with program participants on a case-by-case basis and seek to understand their individual situations.The safety and well- being of all transitional housing residents is foremost.While there is no binding threshold, entry for individuals experiencing homelessness who have criminal records that include sexual offences and violent crime is considered on a case-by-case basis, using degree,frequency,circumstances,and time lapsed as criteria for the decision. • Familiarizing program participants with the rights and responsibilities of tenancy and securing lease agreements. • Providing basic information and training in life skills, if desired, such as how to maintain a lease, move around the city via public transportation, manage checking and savings accounts, create and keep a household budget, and pay bills(especially online, in a paperless environment). • Inviting village tenants to work with the Bayside case management team to explore and secure the services and skills they need to rebuild their lives,which may include behavioraUmedical care, Self-Management AND Recovery Training(SMART) programs, peer support,public agency support,education and/or workforce training, enrichment activities, and facilitating therapeutic court and family reunification programs. • Providing on-site supportive services Monday through Friday and rotating responsibility for staff ng during off hours. • Exiting village tenants into permanent,affordable and stable housing. Measures of success include households moved into transitional housing and those exited into permanent housing. • Specify the number of units of housing to be created or number of individuals who will be served by the Project or Program. Peter's Place has 12 units, Pat's Place has 13 units,and while the units are generally occupied by individuals, sometimes couples reside in them.Together,the villages serve an average of 40 program participants per year;that number fluctuates as couples move in or as tenants exit into permanent housing. Bayside doesn't track exits to placement by site. Threshold Requirements: • Identify the specific eligible use(s)under 5386 and/or 1590 for which the Project or Program qualifies, as listed on pages two through four of the RFP. If you are submitting for both operating and development funds,please submit separate budgets for each. 5386 Operating;Funds: 5386 eligible uses: b("...services for formerly homeless individuals and families residing in transitional housing...and still at risk of homelessness")and c("Operating subsidies for transitional housing...serving formerly homeless families or individuals"). 1590 Development Funds: 1590 Operating Funds: • Provide a brief description of recent,relevant and successful experiences in delivering similar programs and/or projects. BHS has secured results that give its board, staff,and community confidence that its approach works. Since opening in 2016, BHS has expanded service capacity by increasing units of housing from 6 to 60, grown its Supportive Services staff from 1 to 5, and has provided shelter/housing to over 417 homeless program participants, 60%of whom have been placed into stable, long-term housing so far. In 2025, BHS has placed 21 program participants into permanent housing to-date and anticipates placing at least another 10 before the close of the year. BHS has served program participants over 35,000 daily meals since 2016; helped program participants receive successful treatment for substance use disorder, secure health insurance and subsequent medical treatment,find employment, and further their education via GEDs,vocational training, and other degrees. Currently, the 69 people presently housed in Bayside facilities and served at the Jefferson County Emergency Shelter includes 38 adults,26 seniors, 8 veterans, 3 children, and 4 families. Briefly describe how the project aligns with the priorities and objectives of the Five-Year Homeless Housing Plan and the community outreach conducted for the project or program. (LIMIT 400 WORDS) The Tiny Shelter Operations proposal aligns with all six priorities and objectives of the Five-Year Homeless Housing Plan: Objective 1: For quick identification, Bayside's case management team uses Coordinated Entry, and documents services in HMIS. For quick engagement, case managers administer intake assessments to learn more about the Tiny Shelter residents and then offer person-centered case management services that address their needs. Objective 2: For prioritization of homeless housing for people with the highest needs, Bayside will put the needs of those who are most vulnerable first: individuals with serious health conditions (physical or mental)whose well-being would be significantly harmed by homelessness, domestic abuse survivors or those in severely overcrowded housing, and chronic homelessness, giving special consideration to households with young children,youth, veterans, and LBGTQIA+that meet the criteria but may not have the highest assessment score. Objective 3: Case managers draw Tiny Shelter tenants from the list of those prioritized for service on the Bayside waiting list and through Coordinated Entry. They help tenants recover from the trauma of homelessness, identify issues that interfere with their ability to secure housing, work with them to develop a plan for securing stable housing, and track progress toward meeting tenant goals. Objective 4: By providing transitional housing with case management services, the number of unsheltered homeless is reduced; 60%of the 417 served by Bayside since 2016 have secured permanent housing. Objective 5: Bayside designs and operates trauma-informed and client-centered programs to address the circumstances and background of each program participant. This standard guides our case management training and is based not merely on a policy of non-discrimination and inclusiveness based on race, gender or ethnicity, but extends to developing culturally sensitive services for the diverse population we serve. Past program participants have ranged in age from infancy to 92 and included BIPOC community members and those identifying as LGBTQ+. Objective 6: All aspects of Tiny Homes Operations can be described as supportive efforts aimed at ending homelessness. A. APPROACH- Completeness of Proposal and Readiness (5 Points) (LIMIT 400 WORDS) • BHS has employed Coordinated Entry and been guided by principles influenced by Center for Supportive Housing training in developing a tenant-centered integrated approach to educate and house individuals in the Tiny Shelter Villages. On-site management has been trained according to best-practice guidelines to serve the ongoing tenant needs and education around rights and responsibilities as leaseholders. Case management has a presence on-site with regular hours and availability by phone 24/7. Case management responsibilities include developing healthy working relationships with the tenants to provide advocacy and assistance in meeting their needs. Maintenance staff can be on-site quickly to ensure safety and health standards are upheld. Maintenance staff are guided by a matrix of weekly and monthly tasks and annual inspections to ensure the Tiny Shelter Villages stay in proper repair. BHS has a current system for tenants to request repairs of their units:they are provided guidance on procedures during their walk throughs and lease- up. B. IMPACT OF FUNDS- Leverage of Other Funds and Number of Persons Assisted (10 Points) (LIMIT 400 WORDS) The Tiny Shelter Operations proposal contributes an average of 40 program participant entries per year. The transitional housing offered by the Tiny Shelter Villages shortens the length of time someone would spend homeless; the availability of supportive services fosters sustainability of tenant status and minimizes returns to homelessness.There are limited funding opportunities for Transitional Housing, though the importance of its place in the community is crucial as the time frame to build new units is lengthy and the expense is great. Bayside already does and will use established Continuum of Care prioritization fundamentals to prioritize those in the Intake Group, which can include: • Significant health or behavioral health challenges or functional impairments • High use of crisis or emergency services to meet basic needs • Extent to which people, especially youth and children, are unsheltered • Vulnerability to illness or death • Risk of continued homelessness • Vulnerability to victimization, including physical assault, trafficking, or sex work • Other factors as determined by the community and based on severity of needs Bayside will supplement funds awarded by the County with contributions received from individual donors through our 2026 annual fund campaigns. The Tiny Shelters house adults; most at Pat's Place are low-income workers, and most at Peter's Place are seniors. Any of these tenants may also fall into the category of domestic violence survivors and veterans. They may also be members of marginalized populations: people of color(especially Indigenous and Black residents), individuals with disabilities,the LGBTQIA+community and those from non-Christian faith traditions. To achieve continuous improvement operations improvement, staff will suggest and help implement immediate improvements that can catalyze the successful search for a safe and stable home, such as previously untapped access to government benefits and services,job training, and mentaUphysical health care. They will also incorporate feedback from Tiny Shelter tenants to ensure services are person- centered and trauma-informed. C.
