WA lawmakers OK $1.5M for West Kelso affordable housing project
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=426db5979c&e=b80de0d97c>

State lawmakers have approved the $1.5 million the city of Kelso requested for its affordable housing and community space project west of the Cowlitz River, near the Sons of Norway building.
“At Tuesday’s council meeting, lobbyists with Gordon Thomas Honeywell explained the ask wasn’t included in the draft capital budget proposals, but local representatives were able to
secure the funding before the April 27 deadline.
Lobbyist Amina Abdalla said Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview; Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen; Rep. Joel McEntire, R-Cathlamet worked with leaders on the amendment.
The entire two-year capital budget totals $7.5 billion, with $201.3 million in local projects, Abdalla said. That is slightly lower than in 2023, when $231.8 million was allocated.
This budget differs from the operating budget, which included $4.3 billion in new taxes to make up a projected $15 billion shortfall over the next biennium. Abdalla said this was the
largest revenue package in state history.
The Kelso project has been in the works since 2019, and is planned to include about 40 affordable housing units above shared community space to be used, in part, as the new location
for the Kelso Public Library, now housed at the Kelso mall.
Lower Columbia CAP <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=77ce1b5932&e=b80de0d97c> will run the housing units, which will prioritize those
with low incomes and high needs such as people who are elderly, disabled or recently homeless.
After the request was discussed at a council meeting in January, Kelso Councilmember Mike Karnofski said the city had about half of the $18 million needed for the project, and was also
seeking federal funds.
Councilmember Jim Hill also asked the lobbyists Tuesday about House Bill 1217, also known as the rent stabilization bill, which Gov. Bob Ferguson signed into law Wednesday, immediately
taking effect.

Proposed federal budget cut threatens Spokane resource for low and moderate-income households

A proposed federal budget cut is threatening the future of a longstanding Spokane resource for low and moderate-income households.
Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=194d16e435&e=b80de0d97c> (SNAP) said the proposed federal
budget gets rid of the Community Development Block Grant program.
SNAP said this program is the backbone of the organization's efforts to support housing stability, emergency home repairs, small business development and economic mobility.
“This funding isn’t just a grant—it’s a foundation,” said Julie Honekamp, CEO of SNAP. “It supports everything from keeping seniors safely housed to helping local entrepreneurs start
small businesses. Without it, we risk unraveling a safety net that thousands of people depend on.”
In the past year, SNAP used this funding to complete home repairs for 276 families.
"We're serving people who don't have opportunities for other funding. They can't go to a bank because of their very limited income to apply for a loan and they don't have savings to
be able to take care of their home repair," said John Hoover, the director of housing services at SNAP.

Hunger in the Valley: As community needs rise, food pantries face challenges
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=c9153bf63b&e=b80de0d97c>

As North Central Washington food banks experience record demand, they are simultaneously facing unprecedented challenges in meeting community needs, such as higher food costs and reduced
funding.
“Upper Valley MEND's food pantry, the Community Cupboard, has struggled to keep pace with a record 3,000 visitors to date this year, compared to 1,800 during the same period in 2024.
While the food pantry’s traditional service area spans the upper valley and Cashmere, the need goes well beyond, with about 47 percent of its visitors traveling from throughout the
region.
The food pantry receives a majority of its commodities through the regional food distributor, with additional food coming in from gleaning excess produce on farms, the Grocery Rescue
and Washington state’s Farm-to-Food Pantry programs, and community donations.”
“The regional food distributor, Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=62cae420a6&e=b80de0d97c>
(CDCAC), which distributes one to three million pounds of food each year to 20 different pantries like Upper Valley MEND, senior centers, meal sites, and low-income apartments, has
also seen a rise in demand throughout the region while experiencing a reduction in funding.
In March, the U.S. Department of Agriculture cut $500 million in funding for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA), effectively discontinuing a Biden-era
program that helped food pantries purchase food from local farmers.
The cuts resulted in a loss of $160,000 for CDCAC, which sources produce from five local farmers. The organization is applying to other grants in order to continue the program, albeit
at a much smaller scale, said CDCAC Executive Director Alan Walker.
“That was a great program, because we got to support our local farmers too. They really liked it, because it was a way for them to sell their product,” said Walker.
The same month, the USDA cut another $500 million allocated toward The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal program that provides emergency food assistance at no cost
to low-income Americans. The CDCAC is set to lose $80,000, about half of its TEFAP funding. While the organization's general TFAP funding remains steady through September, Walker anticipates
that if it does continue, it will be a lower amount.
Additionally, $4.7 million in TEFAP commodities expected to be delivered to the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) for April through June were cancelled. The delivery
was expected to supply Washington food banks, including CDCAC, with three months of federally procured milk, dried plums, dried cranberries, canned chicken, turkey breasts, and chicken
breasts, according to the WSDA.
“That number of semiloads has gone from 70 over the next three months down to less than 10,” said Walker. “That's going to have a significant impact on the amount of food that we have.”
The cuts have been compounded by the federal government’s immediate termination of Americorps grant programs in April, which supported volunteer and service efforts in education, public
safety, and hunger relief.
CDCAC facilitated the funding, training, and placement of 15 Americorps members at nonprofit organizations throughout the region. Two of those members served full-time at CDCAC’s Food
Distribution Center, supporting a small staff of two full-time and two part-time employees.
“If we don't have those individuals in our food bank, we can't meet the level of demand,” said Walker.

Harvesting Hope helps address the challenge of countywide food shortages
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=6375c41612&e=b80de0d97c>

Local organizations, individuals team up to meet growing needs
Food insecurity is prevalent in Okanogan County and worsening.
Food insecurity, an official term from the USDA, refers to when individuals lack sufficient food and are uncertain about where their next meal will come from. Many more individuals,
including millions who do not fit the definition of food insecure, seek food assistance.
“In the Okanogan Valley, one of the poorest areas in the state where up to a third of the population has received food assistance, the Okanogan County Community Action Council <https://wapartnership.
us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=dd35f03ded&e=b80de0d97c> (OCCAC) operates the county’s Food Bank. The OCCAC food bank in turn serves The Cove as well
as eight other food pantries. But OCCAC is currently unable to meet the needs of all its clients.”
“Harvesting Hope, comprised of community leaders like Post, The Cove, OCCAC, and the Okanogan County Food Council, has devised a four-point plan to supplement the Food Bank.
• Grow a Row: Home gardeners grow extra food. This surplus is delivered to The Cove and then transported to OCCAC in Okanogan.
• The Glean Team: Volunteers harvest extra food from local growers, repackage bulk food arriving at the food bank, and prepare and package food for freezing to be distributed later.
• Community Garden(s): Harvesting Hope is looking for a place, preferably close to Twisp, with access to water, for a community garden. Finding a site, volunteers, and individuals with
garden knowledge are all needed to start this project.
• Food drives and donations.“
“‘Perfect storm’
Rena Shawver, Executive Director of OCCAC, compared Okanogan County’s food shortage to a perfect storm. She said shortages, budget cuts, and an increasing number of residents depending
on food pantries have left the central warehouse virtually empty. The Food Bank served 10,000 clients in 2022 and 13,500 in 2024, a 24% increase.
“Inflation has sent food and gas prices sky high. Rent and housing prices are higher than wages, meaning families pay up to 60% of their income on housing costs, which leaves them without
money for other things,” Shawver said in the press release. “Plus, there’s a national food shortage — weather changes and market conditions make it tough to grow food, so food deliveries
to pantries are down while the number of people relying on food pantries is up.”
Shawver has communicated with local growers like Smallwood and Yonder Farms, who are willing to grow extra for the Food Bank and support gleaning.
Shawver said, “Okanogan County is rich in agriculture. All the elements to feed the community are here if we can just get organized around it.”
Through the efforts of Harvesting Hope and collaboration with the Okanogan County Food Council, the tribes, and farmers, Shawver hopes to create a sustainable food assistance program
in Okanogan County using available local resources.””

Solid Ground’s mission to end poverty is bold. And at this critical time in our nation’s history, it requires us to stand more firmly than ever in community with those who share our
values and believe that every person is important and deserves the opportunity to thrive.
At the Gala, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about our programs directly from amazing staff members who bring Solid Ground’s mission to life, hear firsthand from participants who’ve
navigated their own journeys to stability, and support our work to build pathways beyond poverty – all over a three-course dinner and drinks.
Special Guest Erin Jones will share a message of hope and inspiration and give us action items we can do right now to make a difference in our community. After we wrap up the program,
we’ll retreat to the lounge for live music, snacks, and beverages.

Remembering Frank Chopp's Activist Roots
<https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=88c26d946c&e=b80de0d97c>

Recently departed Speaker Emeritus Frank Chopp would have turned 72 today, and already the activist roots, which grounded his political career have been seldom included in the frame
of remembrance since he passed away on March 22.
It’s true that Chopp was a 21st century political rarity: a powerful Democrat with partisan self-respect. When he left office on the day I officially succeeded him as 43rd Legislative
District State Position 2 Representative on January 13, 2025, it marked the end of a 30-year legislative career in which he helped build a heaping majority for Washington State Democrats,
presiding over it for two decades as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Unlike many liberals, Chopp understood that politics was a competition between conflicting worldviews;
there are real stakes for partisan failure or success. “My parents would disown me if I became a Republican, trust me,” he once said.
Less retold than Frank’s indelible three decades as an institutionalist, however, are the lefty underpinnings of his legislative career.
“I knew him as a mentor and a friend, as a co-conspirator at the social services agency <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=a68ee1169a&e=b80de0d97c>
Solid Ground, <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=393a585132&e=b80de0d97c> and as a fellow organizer thirty years my senior who I
followed into the Washington State Legislature.”
“When Frank Chopp arrived in Seattle to attend the University of Washington in the early 1970s, the city was alive with antiwar activism, including freeway protests on Interstate 5 in
1970 of Chicano activists who occupied Beacon Hill Elementary School to create a community center that eventually became El Centro De La Raza <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u
=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=402a4e3f0e&e=b80de0d97c> in 1972, of Indigenous organizers who recommissioned an abandoned military base in 1970 into the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural
Center that later opened in 1977. “
“For twenty years between his housing protest and his ascent to the State House of Reps in 1994, Frank was a serial citizen activist, petitioning against freeways and political graft,
co-founding Solid Ground and the Low Income Housing Institute, attending neighborhood housing debates all the while.”

Community Condition Dashboard: Examining Homelessness in Washington is now LIVE!
The Washington State Office of Equity (EQUITY) is thrilled to announce the launch of the Community Condition Dashboard: Examining Homelessness in Washington <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com
/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=a381710417&e=b80de0d97c> .
This dashboard will assist decision-makers in making data-driven decisions so we can advance a Washington for All. Our innovative approach combines different data sources to provide
a more user-friendly and comprehensive view of homelessness than has previously been publicly accessible. It aggregates data from federal, state, and local governments and community
service providers. This provides a statewide overview of those who use any of the programs in our blended homelessness dataset.
The dashboard utilizes data from:
* Community Housing Support Providers
* Medical Providers
* Department of Social and Health Services Economic Services Administration
* Department of Commerce
* Managed Care Organizations
* Front-Line Staff
* Clark, Snohomish, and Spokane Counties
* Health Care Authority
* American Community Survey Data

of the federal government blocking digital equity funding.
The Digital Equity Act was passed with bipartisan support in 2022 to help close the digital divide in rural, urban, and tribal communities. It provides individuals and communities with
the skills, support, and technology to fully participate in the digital world.
Canceling the state’s $15.9 million Digital Equity Capacity Grant will severely hinder our efforts to close the digital divide.

New Reports Show Offering School Meals at No Charge Increases Participation, Supports Health and Learning

Two new reports from the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) reveal that offering school meals to all students at no charge leads to more students participating in school breakfast
and lunch. The Reach of School Breakfast and Lunch During the 2023–2024 School Year <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=25049f783d&e=b80de0d97c>
finds that more students received school breakfast and lunch last school year compared to the previous school year, due in large part to schools adopting the Community Eligibility
Provision (CEP) and state-level Healthy School Meals for All (HSMFA) policies.
Free-school-meals-for-all approaches <https://wapartnership.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=acf3cee5bbda818ebd4ce40eb&id=2b60ba04ad&e=b80de0d97c> to keep students fed reduce the administrative
burden on school nutrition departments, eliminate school meal debt, reduce stigma, and foster innovative service models like breakfast in the classroom and other alternative breakfast
models.
“More students participate in school breakfast and school lunch when meals are available at no charge. Healthy School Meals for All policies ensure every child has access to the nutrition
they need to learn and thrive,” said Crystal FitzSimons, interim president of FRAC. “Additional strategies, such as providing students with enough time to eat and implementing innovative
breakfast models, will ensure the programs continue to grow to meet the need.”

serve low-income individuals and families across America. Grantees can create flexibility, and expand access in this process, by adopting categorical eligibility of other federal programs
listed in this guidance when submitting PY 2025 Grantee Plans.
As defined in 10 CFR 440.3, Low-income means that income in relation to family size which:
(1) Is at or below 200 percent of the poverty level determined in accordance with criteria established by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), except that the Secretary
may establish a higher level if the Secretary, after consulting with the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Secretary of Health and Human Services,
determines that such a higher level is necessary to carry out the purposes of this part and is consistent with the eligibility criteria established for the Weatherization Program under
Section 222(a)(12) of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; (2) Is the basis on which cash assistance payments have been paid during the preceding twelve-month period under Titles IV
and XVI of the Social Security Act or applicable State or local law; or (3) If a Grantee elects, is the basis for eligibility for assistance under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
Act of 1981, provided that such basis is at least 200 percent of the poverty level determined in accordance with criteria established by the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget. WAP Directors and Program Managers should be sure to update any processes used when processing weatherization applications and inform staff of this change as it impacts client
eligibility.
