October is Energy Equity Month

When the wind turns chilly in a few weeks, Basin residents can get a little extra help with their heating, according to an announcement from the Washington State Department of Commerce.
That assistance is through the State Home Energy Assistance Program, or SHEAP, announced last week by the Commerce Department. The program is administered in Grant and Adams counties
by OIC of Washington. <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=7e22551187&e=fa97a7921d>
“The program’s intent is to assist low-income households to meet their immediate home energy needs and provide replacement of inefficient, outdated, or unsafe home heating and cooling
systems with more energy-efficient electric heating and cooling technologies, such as heat pumps,” Sy Ruiz, OIC spokesman, wrote in an email to the Columbia Basin Herald.
Statewide, SHEAP will aid more than 1.2 million people, according to Commerce’s announcement. This extends the benefits to substantially more people than the federal Low-Income Heating
Energy Assistance Program, which only covers about 500,000 Washingtonians.

Residents Return to a Fresh Face on Dorothy Place
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=2c126c5405&e=fa97a7921d>
This month, we welcomed home the residents of Dorothy Place with fun, games, and a barbecue feast. The summertime barbecue bash celebrated the end of weeks’ worth of updates and rehab
on the apartments. The work—ranging from a fresh coat of exterior paint to preventative rehab work—required the residents to temporarily move into local hotels and rental units for
much of the summer.
Made possible by the generous support from Whatcom County, WECU, and Interfaith Coalition, the project at Dorothy Place is a testament to the power of community. It is your support that
ensures Dorothy Place will remain a safe, warm, and welcoming place for individuals and families for generations to come.

State homelessness efforts are working – and changing lives

Washington’s efforts to reduce homelessness are working <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=272eeab56d&e=fa97a7921d> . The state’s Encampment
Resolution Program brought more than 1,200 people inside from homelessness. State housing investments have yielded thousands of emergency housing units. Youth homelessness has fallen
40 percent statewide since 2015.
Ruth was a resident of Unity Commons Shelter in Olympia when Gov. Jay Inslee toured her apartment last year. It was small, but it was hers, she said. A framed folded flag stood on the
mantle for her departed husband, a veteran. She and all her neighbors had formerly experienced chronic homelessness, but now had a roof overhead thanks to an investment from the state’s
Housing Trust Fund.

Can parking garages alleviate the housing and homelessness crisis?

Turn on the TV news, check social media or go old school and pick up a newspaper, and you’re likely to find a story about the housing crisis in America. Increasingly, young people are
giving up on the dream of home ownership, as median prices for housing in the U.S. rise to six times the median income—up from four times the median income just two decades ago.
The lack of affordable housing has not only made the dream of home ownership difficult for many American families, but it has also played a crucial role in the rising level of homelessness
throughout the country. More than 250,000 Americans were living in temporary shelters or on the streets in 2023, according to estimates by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
And while the causes of homelessness are complex, most experts agree that a housing supply shortage is a key factor.

On October 1, the Washington State Board of Natural Resources unanimously approved four acres of state lands to be transferred to Pierce County to build affordable housing near Graham.
The land is zoned as residential and is valued at nearly $1 million.
“The PCCDC is excited about the Fredrickson project because of the positive community impact and the role of revenue in supporting local schools and junior taxing districts as a trust
beneficiary, along with our commitment to utilizing DNR land for affordable housing in Pierce County,” said Gary Hawkinson, Pierce County Community Development Corporation Chair.

We are excited to be moving forward on two Seattle cleanup sites that will result in much needed affordable housing. Both sites are being redeveloped by nonprofits and are participating

supports cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated sites into affordable housing.
C L Auto Repair cleanup site
We are overseeing a cleanup of the C L Auto Repair cleanup site in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Estelita’s Library, a nonprofit community social-justice library and bookstore serving
the south end of Seattle, will be cleaning it up and developing it into affordable housing. The project, called “Solidarity House,” will be a transit-oriented, mixed-use, affordable
housing development with up to four stories of multi-family residences, including 65 affordable housing units.
Petroleum-contaminated soil and groundwater have been discovered by prior investigation. The extent of the contamination will be determined in the remedial investigation.

State Home Energy Assistance Program (SHEAP)
The new State Home Energy Assistance Program (SHEAP) helps people in Washington pay their utility bills and move to low-to-no carbon heating and cooling options. SHEAP is available for
individuals and families who are making up to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Eligibility
This grant will support eligible community members with:

Department of Commerce launches new energy, utility assistance program for eligible Washingtonians
A new State Department of Commerce <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=f0b46646bc&e=fa97a7921d> program aims to help Washingtonians

The new State Home Energy Assistance Program <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=a661872334&e=fa97a7921d> will use $35 million in Climate
Commitment Act <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=1fc85fd7bd&e=fa97a7921d> funding to support more people in Washington in paying
their utility bills and switching to low- and no-carbon heating and cooling options, according to the Department of Commerce.
Currently about 500,000 people in Washington are eligible for the federal Low-Income Heating Energy Assistance Program, however, SHEAP would expand eligibility to over 1.2 million residents.
“Commerce is making sure vulnerable and low-income households across Washington can access these cost-saving technologies and bill pay support," said Commerce Director Mike Fong.
“This addresses equity issues to ensure people aren’t left behind as we move to a green energy model,” said LIHEAP Program Manager Brian Sarensen.

Rural areas hit hard by food insecurity, study finds

Before she began looking into food insecurity in rural areas, Sarah Whitley knew what it was like to go to school hungry.
Now, she’s studying the issue at Washington State University.
Food insecurity in rural areas is getting worse, according to a recent study from the USDA. Last year, 18 million households <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818eb
d4ce40eb&id=3cf9890665&e=fa97a7921d> didn’t have good access to food.
While a lack of food in rural areas might be opposite of what you’d picture in farmland, studies show it’s increasing at a rapid pace, said Whitley, a sociology professor at WSU.
“The takeaway here is food insecurity in rural America is a significant social problem,” Whitley said.

MINDING THE GAP: Poverty, homelessness, and restoring our broken mental health system
Human services providers have long understood that behavioral health access is essential for communities to thrive. Barriers to accessing culturally competent care have led to agencies
embedding services within our programs through partnerships and other initiatives.
MINDING THE GAP: Poverty, homelessness, and restoring our broken mental health system will explore how our community navigates the intersections of poverty, race, culture, social/emotional
wellbeing, behavioral health, and homelessness.
Local experts from the human services community and program participants will discuss facts and myths impacting behavioral health – and innovative approaches to services for people facing
housing insecurity, trauma-impacted families, and other aspects of poverty.
WHEN: Wednesday, October 23, 2024 | 4-6pm
WHERE: The Forum at Town Hall Seattle (1119 8th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101 <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=6048be1d4b&e=fa97a7921d>
