Title
Motion 22-177, approve and authorize the County Executive to execute the Washington State Department of Commerce Grant Agreement for stabilizing newly arriving refugees from the 2021 Afghanistan conflict
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Christie Lee Kamka
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Lacey Harper
PURPOSE: Approve and Authorize the County Executive to Execute the Washington State Department of Commerce Grant Agreement For Stabilizing Newly Arriving Refugees from the 2021 Afghanistan Conflict.
BACKGROUND: Since Afghans began resettling in Snohomish County in 2021, Snohomish County has been partnering with Volunteers of America Western Washington and Refugee and Immigrant Services Northwest to support newly arrived Afghans into Snohomish County. The partners opened the Snohomish County Welcoming Center on October 1, 2021, and since that time, it has served approximately 600 Afghans. The model that Snohomish County and our partners created is widely recognized as the “gold standard” for care and service for newly arrived Afghans.
The Washington State Department of Commerce is offering a contract to Snohomish County for a total of $5,470,000 which was appropriated through ESSB 5693. Under this contract, Snohomish County and our partners would be able to continue supporting newly arrived Afghan refugees by providing basic needs, resettlement and rehousing assistance.
The funds from the State for this contract were not originally anticipated in the 2022 and 2023 budget. Human Services has sufficient budget authority in Fund 124 to support this request and no budget amendments will be necessary.
