Jefferson County One Tenth of One Percent Tax Fund Evaluation: 2024 Annual Report
Background: In the 2005 Washington State legislative session, Senator Hargrove passed the Omnibus Mental Health and Substance Abuse Reform Act SB 5763
to expand substance abuse and mental health treatment. The bill allows local governments to increase sales tax to improve local services. In 2005, Jefferson
County Board of County Commissioners adopted this tax and established the Jefferson County Mental Health and Substance Abuse Sales Tax Advisory
Committee to review community needs and local Requests for Proposals from vendors to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment services.
Recipients submit quarterly reports to Jefferson County Public Health under contract to monitor and evaluate the impact of these funds.
COVID-19 Pandemic and Mental Health Services: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a stay-at-home order and subsequent restrictions that continued into
2021. These measures created barriers in receiving substance use and mental health treatment. In Jefferson County, treatment became limited due to
restrictions on non-COVID health care and capacity. When possible, services transitioned to video or telehealth. Moreover, the pandemic and the resulting
consequences continues to impact the mental health of much of the population and increase the need for mental and substance use services.

2024 Annual Report: Benji Project
Program Description: Through school and community-based program, The Benji Project helps Jefferson County youth develop lifelong skills for stress
management and emotional resilience. Their approach is based on the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens program, which teaches core principles and
practices that help teens respond to the challenges of these critical years with kindness and self-compassion. Backed by research, findings indicate increases in
emotional well-being and greater resilience after taking the course.
Summary of Narrative: Over the past year, we strengthened partnerships with organizations and educators across the community and expanded
programming through new collaborations, including after-school programming at the Jefferson County Library and participation on the district Wellness
Committee. Despite rescheduling a major fundraiser due to unforeseen circumstances, the annual campaign raised was a success, and targeted donor
outreach is underway to bridge the delayed income. Program impact remains strong, reflected in meaningful student feedback and improved, developmentally
appropriate data collection methods that better engage youth.

2024 Annual Report: Olympic Angels
Program Description: Funding received from Jefferson County’s 2023-24 1/10th of 1% Sales Tax will go towards financing case management expenses to reduce
negative impacts of mental health and substance abuse on outcomes for children and youth in foster care. Funds will support a portion of the cost of a new
case manager to recruit, train, and manage volunteers from the community to engage in relationship building with children, youth, and their caregivers to
promote placement stability, relational permanence, normalcy, and resiliency through our community-based prevention model.
Summary of Narrative: This year involved significant leadership and staffing transitions, including case manager changes, yet program goals were met,
transitions were smooth, and consistent support to youth and families continued. Mentors played a critical role in helping youth navigate complex mental
health, placement, and life challenges by coordinating with caregivers, agencies, and crisis services to maintain stability and trust. Partnerships with funders
and community organizations were strengthened, leading to expanded volunteer training in resilience-informed practices and new initiatives that reduce
barriers to higher education and long-term success for vulnerable youth.
