Six YEARS at-a-Glance… Since Opening in April 2016… In April, BHS crested over 50,000 bed nights of Transitional Supportive Housing since we opened in 2016, serving people who would have otherwise been unsheltered or living in unsafe conditions! Numbers change daily – but today we’re serving 56 individual clients overall, at Bayside Tower and in our two tiny shelter villages in Port Hadlock and Port Townsend. That includes 15 children within 8 families (more children than ever before), 7 veterans, 1 Transition-Age Youth, 11 Seniors and 2 Transgender individuals. …SIX YEARS AT A (second) GLANCE BHS houses clients at Bayside Tower – where our most vulnerable populations live: including families with children, TAY, LGBTQIA, veterans, and others. We also operate two tiny shelter villages at Peter’s Place in Port Hadlock (12 beds) and Pat’s Place in Port Townsend (currently 13 beds, with additional units under construction). In 2021, Bayside provided over 14,500 hot meals and over 500 rides for clients to access schools, medical appointments, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks and errands. BHS continues to forge partnerships with other supportive service organizations to work together on referrals and coordinated services. Hadlock Motel becomes “Woodley Place” Next Steps and Opportunities… $2M recently awarded through Legislative Community Projects fund, sponsored by Steve Tharinger. Purchase & Sale Agreement is in place to close immediately upon receipt of funds. Upon acquisition, Woodley Place will immediately provide up to 34 new transitional supportive housing beds. Bayside seeks additional funding to provide supportive service programming, and other ongoing operating costs. We also seek capital funding to begin upgrading units at Woodley Place to provide options for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). Adding Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) at Woodley Place BHS is currently at or near capacity for transitional supportive housing in all three existing locations. Over the last 6 years, we’ve been successful in moving over 65% of transitional housing clients into permanent housing. But the lack of available housing inventory for permanent housing in the community is a significant barrier to further placement. We are currently participating in a Supportive Housing Institute training program, giving BHS technical support to develop more Permanent Supportive Housing in the community. Woodley Place creates an opportunity to develop our first Permanent Supportive Housing project, which can then be replicated to create more PSH in Jefferson County. 16 existing motel rooms and 4 bedrooms in a manufactured home (family units) will immediately be converted to Transitional Supportive Housing with kitchenettes (27 beds total) PHASE 1 CAPITAL REQUEST Supporting 34 transitional and permanent supportive housing beds A 1-bedroom apartment will be added in the back of the existing office building (2 beds total) 5 RV hook-ups will be installed (5 beds total) Capital Request also includes: •RV purchase (5 units) •Beds and bedding to maximize capacity.

Trained Case Managers support our clients with appropriate services that will help them to remain stably sheltered, build life skills and make tangible steps toward finding and keeping permanent housing. Taking the next step to add Permanent Supportive Housing is a natural evolution of our business model and an ideal way to contribute to housing solutions in Jefferson County! “Being at Bayside has allowed us the opportunity to build a foundation for our future, along with support and direction in placing applications for housing. We have made more progress in 3 months than in over 1-1/2 years prior. Not having to change campgrounds regularly; worry about storing food; worry about our belongings while we’re looking for or at work; worry about laundry and being presentable for work or safety in general. All this has been a huge blessing here at Bayside.” -Kyle & Crystal Heather Dudley-Nollette Director of Development heather@baysidehousing.org Gary Keister Executive Director gary@baysidehousing.org Mike Moore Director of Housing & Asset Management mmoore@baysidehousing.org
