body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Debra May
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 12/9/25
PURPOSE: Approve HOME ARP Award for the YWCA Emergency Shelter HOME ARP Project
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County is the representative member of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium for purposes of application, receipt, and administration of federal grant funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs.
The 2021 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment was approved by Motion 23-111 on March 22, 2023, to include the HOME ARP Allocation Plan as required by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development. This motion is to allocate funding according to the HUD approved HOME ARP Plan to the YWCA Emergency Shelter HOME ARP Project to provide services at the Homeward Bound Emergency Shelter in Lynnwood.
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan (ARP), which provides over $1.9 trillion in relief to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health, State and local governments, individuals, and businesses.
To address the need for homelessness assistance and supportive services, Congress appropriated $5 billion in ARP funds to be administered through HOME-ARP to perform activities that must primarily benefit qualifying individuals and families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or other vulnerable populations.
The HOME ARP authorized the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to allocate HOME-ARP funds to jurisdictions and Snohomish County Consortium received an allocation of $7,295,083.
The HOME ARP Funding was included in the 2021 Human Services Grant Workplan. The 2021 HUD Approved HOME ARP Plan requires the County to use the Consortium process for awarding specific projects HOME ARP funding.
On July 11, 2025, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was published for HOME ARP funding for shelter services with an application deadline of August 8, 2025, and one (1) application was received.
On October 15, 2025, the TAC met to review and evaluate applications and to make funding recommendations to the Policy Advisory Board (PAB) for HOME ARP funding for the YWCA Emergency Shelter HOME-ARP Project.
On November 12, 2025, PAB approved the TAC recommendation to fund the YWCA Emergency Shelter HOME-ARP Project to provide enhanced services at the Homeward Bound Emergency Shelter in Lynnwood. The enhanced services will assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, find housing stability through various community resources and through individualized navigation and tailored services and support.
