Jefferson County One Tenth of One Percent Tax Fund Evaluation: 2025 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, the
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.

followed by 98339 (18%). In addition, 2% of individuals served reported being homeless at some point during their services. Programs
reported overall only 2% of individuals served as living outside of Jefferson County. These numbers are not unduplicated across programs,
meaning that an individual could have accessed services from multiple programs and therefore be counted more than once.

2025 Annual Report: Project/Vendor Name At the top of each page, you will find a title denoting the year and vendor or project

Program Outcomes and Goals: Most vendors have a few pre-determined goals that their program seeks to achieve. These are
SMART goals, meaning that they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. In the ‘Program Outcomes
and Goals’ section, you will see the specified goal on the left of the table and the corresponding measurable metrics for each
year on the columns to the right. For each year and goal, whether or not the program achieved the goal is denoted by the
color of the cell: green if the goal was achieved, gray if it was not. Goals and metrics are re-evaluated for relevance and
appropriateness annually in collaboration with Jefferson County Public Health Epidemiologists. For the example below, we can
see that the program set a goal to have 75% of participants accomplish the goal; however, they did not meet it as only 69% of
participants accomplished the goal in 2025, less than in past years (and maybe something to look into!)
Program Trends: At the bottom of the program’s page, you will find plots showing data related to the individuals served and services provided by each
program. These are not comprehensive of all services and activities of the program, but seek to provide a brief snapshot of the work that the program has
accomplished over time.
The trends for each program will vary based on how long each program has received 1/10th of 1% funds.

2025 Annual Report: Becca Petition Project
Program Description: The Jefferson County Juvenile/Family Court’s Becca Petition Project program provides early intervention programming for youth who are
chronically truant due to family issues, substance use disorders and/or behavioral health challenges prior to formal court involvement. The programs
previously used were Individual Counseling with a Family Component (2024) and Functional Family Therapy (2023 and before).
Summary of Narrative: All the youth and families are appreciative and completing the sessions needed and are engaging and using resource. Providers are
reporting all positive outcomes on post tests and discourse in the family being reduced. The Becca Petition Project has had great success in reported
outcomes compared to pre/post tests. Youth are not coming back through on re-referrals and/or court matters. The therapists are able to develop such
rapport that the parents/youth are able to go back to what was successful and healthy, whether that means seeking supports, abstinence, or changing peer
group.

2025 Annual Report: Therapeutic Support for Independent Living
Program Description: The Pfeiffer House supports individuals ages 18 – 24 who are in mental health and substance use disorder treatment through housing,
case management, therapeutic coaching, and skill building.
Summary of Narrative: All clients continue to be seen on a weekly or biweekly basis, based on preference and need. Each client in OWL360 housing who has
requested services is being served through in-house services or by another local therapist, with a record number of clients being served this quarter. The
organization increased collaboration with OWL360 staff thanks to clients being more open to signing ROI's. This has allowed for improved wraparound services
for young people. Ongoing relationship with Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Jefferson Healthcare has improved the quality of services
to OWL360 clients who receive prescription medication through the Jefferson Healthcare.

2025 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: The Benji Project participated in many community outreach events where they shared activities and spread awareness of their
mission. They partnered with the YMCA to reach all 8th graders at Chimacum Junior High School through a pilot group mentoring program. They also offered a
session as part of the Coordination of Services Program through Jefferson County Juvenile Services. Additionally, they held two summer camps: Mindfulness in
Motion for middle schoolers and Mindfulness in Motion for LGBTQ+ young people (or Pride Camp) with overwhelmingly positive feedback from campers.
Outreach work in Quilcene allowed us to offer two sessions a the Quilcene Community Center at the beginning of April.
