To Help More American Households Save Energy, U.S. Senators Renew Bipartisan Effort to Boost Weatherization Aid
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=58c80ae320&e=b80de0d97c>
As energy costs continue to rise, bipartisan WAP Improvements Act offers enhanced federal aid for home energy upgrades
In an effort to make more homes energy efficient and help residents save on their utility bills, U.S. Senators Jack Reed (D-RI), Susan Collins (R-ME), Chris Coons (D-DE) and Jeanne Shaheen
(D-NH) teamed up to re-introduce the Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act (S.1342 <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=764ac53d53&e=b80
de0d97c> ).This bipartisan bill seeks to improve public health and lower household energy costs by bolstering the federal Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), which covers home weatherization,
window replacement, sealing air leaks, ventilation improvements, and other key energy-saving measures.
The bill will authorize a Weatherization Readiness Fund to help those in need repair structural issues and prepare homes for weatherization assistance, increasing the number of homes
the program is able to serve. It also seeks to raise the amount of funding allowed to be spent on each home to keep up with current labor and material costs, and will raise the cap
on the amount of funding allowed to be spent on renewable energy upgrades in each home. These provisions are essential updates to a program that has helped so many families over the
past few decades.
Since 1976, the Weatherization Assistance Program has helped more than 7.4 million low-income families reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. The U.S
Department of Energy estimates that these upgrades help each household save $372 in energy bills annually.
David Bradley, CEO of the National Community Action Foundation which represents local weatherizers said: “The Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act keeps hundreds of community
teams hard at work with streamlined processes and up to date technology. It will help make older homes safer and sturdier, so retirees and working families can stay in their communities;
energy bills will be lower; residents will be healthier and even make fewer emergency hospital visits. Thousands of contractors and crew members will be trained in valuable specialty
skills of measuring and improving building performance. The unwavering leadership of Senators Jack Reed, Susan Collins, Chris Coons and Jeanne Shaheen keeps the Weatherization Assistance
Program robust and relevant through changing times.”
Cheryl Williams, Executive Director of the National Association for State Community Services Programs said: “NASCSP is thrilled to support the Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements
Act, introduced by Senators Reed, Collins, Coons, and Shaheen, long time champions of weatherization. This legislation paves the way toward decreasing energy burdens and improving the
health and safety of low-income households, while supporting more than 8,500 highly skilled jobs across the country.”
Weatherization is key to lowering the energy burden among low-income households, a quarter of whom spend more than 15% of annual income on energy bills. This burden often compels families
with limited financial resources to cut back on essentials like medicine, groceries, and child care.

Demand for SNAP Financial Access services surges
For many, nonprofit gives assistance crucial for viability
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=ca5b9f06b5&e=b80de0d97c>
SNAP Financial Access <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=1e0217a908&e=b80de0d97c> , a community development financial institution,
is experiencing a surge in demand from small businesses for financial assistance and guidance.
Karen Campbell, director of financial stability at the Spokane-based nonprofit, says individual loan amounts are growing higher than ever, and there's a strong demand specifically for
technical writing for grant applications.
In 2024, the organization distributed about $1.1 million to 14 business clients, a different dynamic compared with a decade ago, when SNAP made 34 business loans totaling about $627,000
in 2015.
SNAP Financial Access serves an average of 450 clients per year by providing business development training and loans. About 9,000 clients have received about $17 million in small business
financing since the financial institution was established in 2005.
The strong demand for assistance from SNAP Financial Access is a culmination of the nonprofit's work over the past two decades, which is focused on financial literacy, education, and
loan programs that support small business growth, especially underserved entrepreneurs who may face barriers accessing traditional funding opportunities, she says.
The organization is committed to helping small businesses and entrepreneurs overcome funding rejections from other financial institutions, fulfill market opportunities, finance essential
business equipment, and navigate the complexities of starting a business as an immigrant.
"A huge percentage, better than the national average, remain viable because we offered free or reduced-cost training and coaching and lent to them when they were turned down elsewhere,"
Campbell says of SNAP's small business clients.
P.J. Ellis, lead business lender at SNAP Financial Access, says business loans typically range between $500 and $250,000. Loans under $25,000 are reviewed internally by the organization,
while loans over $25,000 are approved through an external loan committee made up of a variety of business professionals in the community, he explains.
Ellis also helps clients with the creation of business proposals, provides business coaching, and offers financial information analysis for clients. He is the only business lender currently
employed by SNAP.
The current strong demand can be a lot to manage alone, however Ellis says it hasn't stopped SNAP from taking on new clients and supporting a variety of market ventures.

Our Place in the Black Maternal Health Space
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=db707561a0&e=b80de0d97c>
April 11th marks the beginning of Black Maternal Health Week and the International Day of Maternal Health & Rights. At Byrd Barr Place <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee
5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=9d651e99bf&e=b80de0d97c> , we proudly join the call for health equity for Black women, birthing people, and children.
Originating with the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Black Maternal Health Week is a time for activism, community building, and raising awareness about the ongoing Black maternal health
crisis.
In today’s political climate, it’s easy for health equity issues to be overlooked. Yet economic insecurity is intrinsically to poor health outcomes, making it all the more crucial to
keep our focus on the most vulnerable members of our community. As stated on BlackMamasMatter.org:
“The 2025 theme is Healing Legacies: Strengthening Black Maternal Health through Collective Action and Advocacy. This theme focuses on the power of Black-led perinatal, maternal, and
reproductive health organizations to drive systemic change and foster community healing.”
Our work at Byrd Barr Place aligns closely with that mission.
Our Good Black Birth Initiative brings together birth-centered organizations from across Washington State, including Open Arms Perinatal Services, Surge Reproductive Justice, Shades
of Divinity, Global Midwifery Services (the only Black-owned birth center in the state), The
Tubman Center for Health and Freedom, and many more Black birth workers—to reimagine what’s possible when we center Black mothers and birthing people in pursuit of the best birth outcomes.
This research project is led by Dr. Wendy Barrington and her team at the Anti-Racist Center for Health, housed at the University of Washington. Byrd Barr Place serves as a neutral space
of safety and care for this collective of thought partners.

Help Families Bridge the Gap This Spring Break

This week and next, school districts across our area are taking a pause for spring break. While many families look forward to exciting vacations or travel, the 10-day break can be quite
a challenge for others. These challenges may look like needing to take time off work and later missing out on those wages, paying for childcare, or trying to budget for daytime meals
that are usually school-provided or subsidized.
The financial barriers a break in the school year can have on low-income families can take months to recover from - all while costs of living continue to soar. That’s why we’re calling
on our community to help us make sure the shelves of each Hopelink Food Market remain stocked with shelf-stable, easy-to-prepare items and snacks for families to shop and keep their
cupboards full all month long.
Your support helps us continue to offer nutritious foods tailored to the diverse cultures of the families we serve. Will you consider giving what you can this spring break?

OIC of Washington enhances food bank services with new scheduling system
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=496dceae47&e=b80de0d97c>
The OIC of Washington <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=605555bc81&e=b80de0d97c> has implemented a new scheduling system for its food
bank services, aiming to streamline operations and better serve the community.
Starting last week, the organization introduced a system that allows clients to schedule food box pickups and receive ID cards for food bank services.
"We saw that our clients were waiting to provide a bit because there really is a large demand in need of support from our community here in Yakima. And so, we wanted to value their time
and reduce traffic congestion throughout near our facility," said Sy Ruiz, OIC of Washington Public Relations/Development Director.
Clients can now call ahead to reserve a pickup time, with reservations opening at 8:00 a.m. the day before pickup and available until all slots are filled.

County hosts free resource fairs, film screenings
In celebration of Community Action Month and Older Americans Month, Pierce County Human Services will host two free events this May, featuring resource fairs and public screenings of
the award-winning documentary, "Cooked: Survival by Zip Code,” which explores the intersection of poverty, race, and climate disasters through the lens of the deadly 1995 Chicago heatwave.
The events aim to spark community dialogue around poverty, racial disparities, and disaster preparedness. Both gatherings will feature a robust lineup of local service providers and
organizations offering information and resources on disaster preparedness, education, employment, behavioral health, energy assistance, senior care, and more. The screenings are followed
by a panel discussion featuring "Cooked” filmmaker, Judith Helfand, and leaders from Metropolitan Development Council, Tacoma Community House, and United Way of Pierce County.
"This documentary is a wake-up call reminding us that disasters don’t affect all communities equally,” said Carol Mensah, Community Action Programs division manager. "Here in Pierce
County, we must confront the reality that poverty and racial disparities leave some of our neighbors more vulnerable than others. These events are an opportunity for us to come together,
learn, and take action.”

* Medicare – Understanding the ins and outs of Medicare benefits, eligibility, and coverage options.
* Medicaid – Exploring Medicaid's role in long-term care and how to navigate eligibility requirements.
* Legal – Assistance with essential legal advice regarding wills, power of attorney, guardianship, and estate planning.
* Crisis Management – Discussing strategies for managing unexpected health or financial crises as one ages.
* Home Care 101 – Offering insights into home care services, hospice care, and how to access support at home.
* Supportive Housing Communities – Addressing the different options for long-term care, including skilled nursing facilities and how to choose the right care setting.
The goal of the conference is to bring together local speakers and vendors to create an accessible, community-based event where attendees can get answers to their questions, access resources,
and learn from experts in each of these fields. It is designed to provide peace of mind and practical tools for individuals and families planning for aging, all within the context of
their local community.

An annual program aimed at helping seniors put food on their tables will be accepting applications starting this week.
The Lewis-Mason-Thurston Area Agency on Aging said the application period opens on Tuesday, April 15, for its 2025 Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/t
rack/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=8031c03be4&e=b80de0d97c> (SFMNP).
"The 2025 SFMNP will provide eligible seniors in Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties with up to $80 in funds for use in the purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables and honey from participating
markets," said the agency in announcing the annual program.
Older adults must meet age and monetary thresholds, including an income below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. That translates to an income of $2,412.75 or less per month for
single, older adult.
"Isolation, a lack of transportation as well as insufficient financial and community resources are among the many challenging factors fueling heightened demand for fresh, essential nutrition
among older adults," said Agency on Aging Community Supports Director Valerie Aubertin in a statement.
"Access to a healthy diet has proven to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve cognitive function, and maintain bone health in seniors. This program's vital impact expands
far beyond easing hunger."

b&id=837266b42f&e=b80de0d97c> this week in response to questions and confusion around recently implemented federal tariffs. The new resource includes export-related support from across
communities and at the state and federal levels.
“Washington is one of the most trade-exposed states, and our intent is that this guide will help businesses better understand and respond to the impacts of these tariffs” said Commerce
Director Joe Nguyễn. “Our business community needs all the help it can get navigating these obstacles, and Commerce is committed to helping them succeed no matter what’s happening at
the federal level.”

Connected Communities: Reducing the Impact of Isolation in Rural Areas
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=c8105f531b&e=b80de0d97c>
Throughout history, humans’ ability to rely on one another has been crucial to survival. Despite modern developments that help individuals live with minimal human engagement, the human
need to connect remains.
However, in many parts of America, a trend toward isolation is emerging. Over the past two decades, people are spending more time alone and less time engaging with others in person,
according to data from the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General. One segment of Americans at particular risk of social isolation, loneliness and their negative impacts are select populations
who live in rural areas.
“There is an urgent need to take action and improve mental health in rural America,” said Jeff Winton, dairy farmer and founder and chairman of Rural Minds, a nonprofit mental health
advocacy organization that partnered with Pfizer to raise awareness about the physical and mental risks of social isolation. “Challenges to mental health can be inherent in a rural
lifestyle, including a belief in self-reliance as a virtue, fear of judgment and difficulty getting an appointment with a limited number of mental health professionals, among others.”
Many Americans are increasingly spending more time alone according to the American Time Use Survey. They are increasingly more likely to take meetings, shop, eat and enjoy entertainment
at home, making it easier for them to stay within their own four walls and avoid social interactions.
Authentic human connection is a basic but often unacknowledged necessity for health, “as essential to survival as food, water and shelter,” according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory
on the Health Effects of Social Connection and Community.

Central WA Head Start programs shut down without federal funding
More than a dozen Head Start classrooms in Central Washington are closing as the national free preschool program comes under fire from the Trump administration.
On Friday, the nonprofit Inspire Development Centers notified staff and families that it would shut down several Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms, leaving about 400 children
without educational and support services and 72 workers unemployed.
The organization said it had yet to receive funds from the federal government that it needed to keep operating.
Head Start serves about 15,000 children in Washington altogether.
The longstanding federal program, established 60 years ago as President Lyndon B. Johnson waged his war on poverty, is facing an uphill battle. The Trump administration has laid off
federal workers overseeing the program, including workers in the regional office in Seattle <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=f9836c5d4b&e=b80de0d
97c> , and is mulling getting rid of it altogether <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=fe70685884&e=b80de0d97c> .
Now, Inspire must close its Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms because it does not have enough money to operate, effective at the close of business Tuesday.

Children’s Fund contract delay leaves providers seeking answers
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=6eb65d3401&e=b80de0d97c>
The Whatcom County Executive’s Office failure for nearly a year to approve funding for child care provider credentialing and career development is amplifying concerns about the county’s
ability to meet child care needs.
Since Whatcom County voters passed the Healthy Children’s Fund — also known as Proposition 5 — by just 20 votes in 2022, the measure for funding local child care and early learning programs
has encountered several issues, including a failed 2024 initiative repeal effort <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=79254c5ca2&e=b80de0d97c>
and difficulty recruiting staff <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=957e37964a&e=b80de0d97c> .
Although county government has approved more than 20 contracts <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=c8912f1030&e=b80de0d97c> with local
child care providers since June 2024, one contract has been in limbo for nearly a year with the Whatcom County Executive’s Office. The delay is leaving project stakeholders in the dark
about why the contract is not yet approved and leading to mounting concern over the potential effect of project delays.
Overall, families are feeling the brunt of the delay — according to a 2018 report <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=cdab27ba77&e=b80de0d97c>
by the Opportunity Council <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=6a05ee9bd5&e=b80de0d97c> , child care capacity has dropped more than
25% in the last decade. The county is 5,000 spots short in available child care programs.
The contract’s approval would allow the creation of a pilot program for an Early Childhood Career Development Network Center at Bellingham Technical College, or BTC. This center, in
the works since 2021, would help support and stabilize the county’s child care workforce, offering navigation of provider credentialing requirements and additional professional development.
Those credentialing requirements will be updated in August 2026 per Washington state legislation <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=4d9d581c15&e=b80
de0d97c> , when licensed child care and early learning providers must meet their full education staff qualification requirements <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda8
18ebd4ce40eb&id=a0b6bb95b2&e=b80de0d97c> .
Matthew Santos, BTC dean, said he is encouraged by an April 3 meeting with Whatcom County Health and Community Services, or WCHCS, and other stakeholders. He claims they now have a shared
vision for the project and is hopeful they will work toward a timely execution of the contract, now fine-tuning the metrics used to measure progress.
The state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families, or DCYF, is responsible for child care licensing and last updated its requirements in 2019. Since then, DCYF established a non-credit-bearing
alternative to college-based licensing known as Provider Access to Community Education, or PACE. Providers must choose between either PACE or a certificate offered by a state community
college to achieve their licensing.

Funding opportunity open now to support interagency youth homelessness prevention workgroup
Funding applications close May 13
The Washington State Department of Commerce is making up to $422,000 available to contract with a community-based organization(s) to support the involvement of young people and families,
with lived experience of housing instability and/or systems involvement, in the interagency youth homelessness prevention workgroup. Applicants, applicant partners, and/or sub-grantee

New leader takes the helm at Office of Homeless Youth
Cacey Hanauer-Sutton joined OHY in March
The Washington State Department of Commerce’s Office of Homeless Youth <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=5f4a879507&e=b80de0d97c>
selected a new executive director earlier this year. Cacey Hanauer-Sutton joined the agency in March after more than 20 years of direct service to youth and young adults experiencing
housing and behavioral health challenges.
“We’ve seen a 40% drop in youth homelessness since 2016 – that’s a testament to what’s possible when we invest in young people and a direct result of the Office of Homeless Youth,” said
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson. “But we can’t stop there. I look forward to working with Cacey to continue making a difference for young Washingtonians.”
“Cacey is the perfect hire for this role, and at the ideal moment,” said Commerce Director Joe Nguyễn. “We know more than ever how critical this work is to the well-being of young people
across our state. Cacey brings the experience and vision needed to build on the momentum and drive meaningful progress in reducing youth homelessness in Washington.”
