PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• Name of Project or Program(please include HMIS name/number if applicable):
OCAHaines Street Cottages
• Amount requested: $59,210
• Provide a brief description of the Project or Program: (LIMIT 200 WORDS)
The Haines Street Cottages consist of eight two-bedroom cabins located in Port Townsend,providing
emergency housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. Residents may stay for up to 24 months,
offering time to stabilize and transition toward permanent housing. The site can accommodate up to 32
individuals at full capacity; currently,21 residents are housed,with one unit temporarily offline due to
needed repairs.
Priority placement is given to individuals involved in Jefferson County's Therapeutic Courts and families
with children experiencing homelessness. OlyCAP partners with Discovery Behavioral Health and Believe
in Recovery to deliver supportive services that address behavioral health and recovery needs. One cottage is
dedicated to homeless youth and young adults, and the repaired unit will be reserved for families, managed
through OlyCAP's network of local providers.
OlyCAP is responsible for all property operations, including maintenance,utilities, and insurance. The
program is designed to remove barriers to housing by offering rent-free transitional shelter, allowing
residents to focus on recovery, employment, and long-term stability. With all systems in place, the program
is ready to continue serving Jefferson County's most vulnerable populations immediately upon funding.
• 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)
The primary measurable outcome of success at Haines Street is the number of persons exiting into
permanent housing. In 2025 7 individuals in 3 cottages exited to permanent housing. The Cottages have
maintained 100%occupancy of the 7 cottages currently available.
• Specify the number of units of housing to be created or number of individuals who will be served by the Project
or Program.
Up to 32 individuals can be served by the Program.
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: This is the specific operating fund for an emergency shelter
1590 Development Funds:
1590 Operating Funds:
• Provide a brief description of recent,relevant and successful experiences in delivering similar programs
and/or projects.
OlyCAP has owned and operated Haines Street Cottages since 1990 and the open-air hybrid shelter at
Caswell Brown Village since 2021. OlyCAP has a proven track record of providing essential emergency
housing services to the community.
In addition to Haines Street, OlyCAP manages three other residential sites—South Seven Senior Village,
7th Haven, and Northwest Passage—each tailored to meet the diverse needs of Jefferson County residents.
These programs are strengthened by partnerships with respected local service providers including Dove
House, Discovery Behavioral Health, OWL360, Fire CARES, and Public Health. Through Coordinated
Entry, we ensure fair access to housing for all eligible households across the county.
OlyCAP's approach is grounded in best practices such as trauma-informed care and de-escalation, helping
stabilize individuals and families once housed not just providing shelter—but connecting people to the
support systems they need to overcome barriers and build pathways to permanent housing.
Full funding of this program will directly support vulnerable residents, strengthen the county's crisis
response system,and promote long-term housing stability.
• 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 Haines Street Cottages program directly supports Objectives #2 and#3 of Jefferson County's Five-
Year Homeless Housing Plan, reinforcing the county's commitment to addressing homelessness through
targeted, effective strategies.
Objective#2: Prioritization of Housing for People with Highest Needs
All residents at Haines Street are referred through and from the Jefferson County Coordinated Entry system,
which ensures that individuals with the most significant barriers to housing—such as behavioral health
challenges,justice involvement,or family instability—are prioritized for placement in emergency and
permanent settings. This process guarantees fair and equal access and focuses resources on those most in
need.
Objective#3: Operate an Effective and Efficient Homeless Crisis Response System
Haines Street Cottages serve as a critical component of the county's crisis response infrastructure. The
program provides stable, transitional housing for individuals involved in Jefferson County's Therapeutic
Courts and Juvenile Services, helping reduce recidivism and support recovery. It also offers dedicated units
for homeless youth and families, ensuring vulnerable populations receive timely,coordinated care.
By maintaining full occupancy and offering wraparound services through partnerships with Discovery
Behavioral Health and Believe in Recovery,the program exemplifies a high-impact, community-based
solution that aligns with county priorities and delivers measurable outcomes.
A. APPROACH -Completeness of Proposal and Readiness (5 Points) (LIMIT 400 WORDS)
The Haines Street Cottages project is fully operational and ready to utilize funding immediately upon
award. All systems,partnerships, and staffing structures are in place to continue delivering emergency
housing and supportive services without delay. OlyCAP has managed this site since 1990 and maintains
strong collaborations with Discovery Behavioral Health and Believe in Recovery, ensuring wraparound
services are available for residents. The cottages are currently at full occupancy(7 of 8 units),with one unit
undergoing repairs to be reopened for families experiencing homelessness and expanding partnerships to
Dove House and other providers.
Any attempt to scale down the project would compromise livability, safety, and the individualized support
model that defines the program's success. This program is intentionally designed to serve a small number of
residents with high needs,offering intensive, trauma-informed support and stability. Scaling the project
would dilute the quality of services, strain staffing resources,and disrupt the therapeutic environment that
has proven effective in transitioning individuals to permanent housing.
All operational systems—including property management, maintenance, intake procedures through
Coordinated Entry,and service coordination—are functioning and prepared to continue seamlessly into the
next funding cycle. The requested funds will fully support the program's operating costs for 2026,ensuring
uninterrupted shelter and services for up to 32 individuals. No additional actions or approvals are needed to
begin implementation once funding is received.
B. IMPACT OF FUNDS - Levera2e of Other Funds and Number of Persons Assisted
(10 Points) (LIMIT 400 WORDS)
The requested funds will ensure continued emergency shelter for 21 Jefferson County residents currently
housed at Haines Street Cottages—individuals facing significant barriers to stable housing. With full
funding,the program will serve up to 32 individuals, utilizing all eight cottages.
Seven cottages are actively used by Discovery Behavioral Health and Believe in Recovery to support
participants in Therapeutic Court and those transitioning from recovery programs. These partnerships
provide critical wraparound services that promote long-term stability and reduce recidivism. One cottage is
reserved for homeless youth and young adults, offering a safe and supportive environment for a vulnerable
population.
The eighth unit, currently undergoing repairs,will be reopened to serve families experiencing
homelessness. It will be case-managed through OlyCAP's network of local providers, ensuring coordinated
care and alignment with Jefferson County's crisis response system.
Although Haines Street Cottages is an emergency housing program,residents are not charged rent. This
intentional approach removes financial barriers for individuals and families experiencing homelessness,
allowing them to focus on recovery, employment, and develop a personal savings to secure permanent
housing as they exit the program. By eliminating rent, the program ensures equitable access and promotes
long-term success for those with the fewest resources.
This program is a proven,community-based solution that reduces strain on emergency services, supports
public safety, and helps residents transition to permanent housing. Full funding will preserve these
outcomes and reinforce Jefferson County's commitment to practical,compassionate approaches to
homelessness.

The proposed operating budget of$59,210 supports the continued operation of the Haines Street Cottages, a
vital emergency housing program in Jefferson County,WA. This program provides safe, stable shelter for
families, youth, and single adults experiencing homelessness,with a focus on individuals facing significant
barriers to permanent housing.
The budget includes essential staffing costs ($12,337) for shelter management and maintenance personnel
who ensure the cottages remain secure, clean,and responsive to urgent needs such as lockouts and repairs.
Utilities ($30,000)and insurance($4,900)cover the basic operational costs of maintaining livable
conditions across all units. Repair and maintenance expenses($11,000) include janitorial services,
emergency restoration,and grounds upkeep, ensuring the property remains safe and welcoming.
A 10%administration fee($5,383) supports program oversight and compliance with county reporting and
reimbursement requirements.
This funding will allow OlyCAP to maintain full occupancy of the cottages,currently housing 21
individuals,and restore one unit to serve families in crisis. The program prioritizes placements for youth,
families, and individuals involved in Jefferson County's Therapeutic Courts, offering wraparound support
through partnerships including,but not limited to, Discovery Behavioral Health and Believe in Recovery.
By stabilizing housing for vulnerable populations,this budget directly supports Jefferson County's Five-
Year Homeless Housing Plan objectives and promotes long-term housing stability.
