Motion 26-132, approving allocation for Affordable Housing Behavioral Health-Behavioral Health Facilities Funding for one behavioral health project
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Debra May
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 3/10/26
PURPOSE: Approval of Funding Award and to issue a contract for Affordable Housing and Behavioral Health - Behavioral Health Facility
BACKGROUND: In 2021, the Washington State Legislature amended RCW 82.14.530 which authorizes counties to impose a sales tax for acquisition and construction of affordable housing, which may include emergency, transitional and supportive housing, and new units of affordable housing within an existing structure, or acquiring and constructing behavioral health-related facilities or land acquisition for these purpose or funding operations and maintenance cost of new units of affordable housing and facilities where housing related programs are provided, or newly constructed evaluation and treatment centers.
Snohomish County Council passed Ordinance 21-098, imposing a one-tenth of one percent sales tax for affordable housing and behavioral health and adding a new chapter 4.126 to Snohomish County Code.
On November 25, 2024, by Amended Motion No. 24-417, the Snohomish County Council approved the 2024 Housing and Behavioral Health Capital Fund Investment Plan (Investment Plan) which includes provisions related to Council approval of and requiring Council approval to issue capital contracts.
On August 1, 2025, a Notice of Funding Opportunity for Affordable Housing Behavioral Health - Behavioral Health Facilities (AHBH-BHF) was published with an application deadline of August 29, 2025. Five (5) applications were received, but one application did not meet minimum requirements. The remaining four (4) applications moved forward.
On October 15, 2025, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC ) met to review and evaluate applications based on the established criteria, and to make funding recommendations to the Policy Advisory Board (PAB).
On November 12, 2025, PAB approved the TAC recommendations and is recommending the County Council award $3,000,000 in available AHBH-BHF funds to Grandview Holmes II, LLC, Holman Recovery Center-Freedom Bridge Project for predevelopment and construction costs of a new community based 20,000 square feet, 48 bed, residential Substance Use Disorder treatment facility in the Arlington/Smokey Point area.
