PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• Name of Project or Program(please include HMIS name/number if applicable): OCACaswell Brown Village
(Tiny Homes),OCACasewell Brown Village RVs
• Amount requested: $251,075
• Provide a brief description of the Project or Program: (LIMIT 200 WORDS)
Caswell Brown provides 20 RV sites and 20 tiny shelters,offering safe, stable transitional shelter for
individuals and families in need. These units are supported by a food preparation building and a soon-to-be-
completed sanitation facility that will include toilets, showers, and laundry services—critical for
maintaining health, dignity, and necessities of daily living.
As we expand services, operating costs have increased—particularly for maintaining the food preparation
building and preparing the sanitation facility for full use. These spaces are essential not only for basic needs
but also for fostering community,nutrition, and wellness.
Operational funding will ensure these facilities remain safe, clean, and fully functional and allow us to
continue serving and expand services for vulnerable residents while strengthening our rural community.
• 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 Caswell Brown Project provides transitional shelter for households experiencing homelessness,
offering up to two years of safe, stable shelter through 20 RV sites and 20 tiny shelters. This program is
designed to support residents as they work toward long-term stability and permanent housing.
The renovations supported by the Housing Fund Board in 2025 has helped bring dignity and community to
the residents by funding the renovation of the PUD building as a community space where providers are
invited to offer vital services and resources to help individuals tackle barriers and increase stability. This
space is also used by the residents to connect with one another and hold self-help groups and will host
community life-skills classes. It is also where the OlyCAP Housing Director meets personally with the
residents of CBV to discuss site priorities and resident concerns, working together to resolve issues as a
community.
Success will not only be measured by the number of households exiting to permanent housing, but also the
quality of on-site services delivered—such as hygiene access, food support, case management, and referrals
and connections to relevant services addressing barriers including but not limited to income and behavioral
health.
• Specify the number of units of housing to be created or number of individuals who will be served by the Project
or Program.
The Caswell Brown Project will serve up to 40 households through 20 RV sites and 20 tiny shelters. Each
unit provides transitional shelter for up to two years.
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 eligible use for operating funds for existing shelter units
1590 Development Funds:
1590 Operating Funds:
• Provide a brief description of recent,relevant and successful experiences in delivering similar programs
and/or projects.
In addition to Caswell Brown Village,OlyCAP manages the Haines Street Cottages which is
emergency housing for persons in recovery from substance use disorders and persons referred by
OlyCAP's youth program. This year a unit at the cabins will be specifically prioritized to for
families experiencing homelessness.
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 also manages the Sequim Warming Center in Clallam County which operates from
November through March. In winter of 2024-25,the Warming Center increased services including
access and was open 51 days,20 days more than the previous year providing 165 shelter nights to
52 individuals and 92 referrals for services including housing and long-term shelter. Last year no
one was turned away.
Since June 2024, service improvements at CBV have included fully staffing the site with a monitor
on each shift, the establishment of a resident council providing CBV residents with a direct line of
communication with the Director of Housing,resident mail service, internet,an indoor food prep
area,community meetings space, on-site housing case management,and a nearly completed
sanitation facility that will include indoor showers and toilets(with ADA accommodations)and
laundry facilities.
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.
OlyCAP has fostered active collaboration with parnters in the community, not only in creating a
robust Coordinated Entry process but in finding solutions for individuals in housing crisis. These
partners include, but are not limited to, Fire Cares,OWL360, Bayside Housing, Public Health,
Reach Out, Winter Welcoming Center, Dove House, Bayside, Sarge's Veteran Support Network,
the Department of Veteran's Affairs, LEAD,Discovery Behavioral Health and REAL. OlyCAP has
also made considerable efforts to ensure Lived Expert voices have an active role in finding and
developing community solutions.
• 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)
Caswell Brown Village is a critical part of our community's response to homelessness,aligning
directly with Objective#3.
The Village offers 40 units-20 RV sites and 20 tiny shelters—designed as transitional shetler to

Caswell Brown not only provides shelter—it delivers a pathway forward. On-site services such as
direct housing case management twice a week, a communal space for self-help meetings and offices
for community providers including but not limited to,public health and LEAD, to meet

housing.

OlyCAP is requesting$251,075 in CBV operational funding to support transitional shelter services
for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. This funding will cover essential staffing,
facility maintenance, utilities,and equipment needed to ensure continuity of care and a dignified
living environment.
Personnel costs represent the largest portion of the budget ask,with$155,000 allocated for 60%of
salaries and$23,250 for 60%of employee benefits, supporting 5 FTEs including shelter
management, supervision, and monitors. These roles are critical for maintaining safety,providing
support, and ensuring compassionate, trauma-informed care. CBV is very minimally staffed with
one staff per shift. While this represents the bulk of the funds, in order to meet budget constraints
staff wages have remained low(minimum wage for new and part-time employees and$20.03 an
hour for full-time employees). The increase represents an effort to elevate staff wages minimally as
the rising cost of living and challenges for employees and CBV residents alike to find and pay for
housing locally. We seek not only to empower residents as a service provider but also staff as an
employer. Currently, 2 monitors also live at CBV.
Utilities ($5,000)reflect anticipated increases due to expanded services and the completion of the
sanitation building. Insurance($11,800) ensures coverage for liability and property protection.
Repair and maintenance($15,200) includes janitorial services and unit turnover costs to maintain
clean, functional living spaces.
Furnishings and equipment($18,000)will replace 40 storage units, supporting residents' personal
needs and helping maintain organized, respectful accommodations.No funds are requested for
food/supplies or transportation during this period.
An administration fee of$22,825 (10%) is included to support program oversight and compliance.
This budget ensures CBV can continue delivering high-quality, compassionate shelter services while
supporting residents' transition to permanent housing. The requested funds will fully support
operations for 2026.
