Washington State Department of Commerce Grant Agreement to Stabilize New Refugees including those from Ukraine and Afghanistan Amendment C.

body

DEPARTMENT:  Human Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Leila Bettys

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved

 

PURPOSE: Request the County Executive to Execute the Washington State Department of Commerce Grant Agreement Amendment For Stabilizing New Refugees including those from Ukraine and Afghanistan.

 

BACKGROUND: Since Afghans began resettling in Snohomish County in 2021 and Ukrainians since 2022, Snohomish County has been partnering with Volunteers of America Western Washington and Refugee and Immigrant Services Northwest to support newly arrived Afghans and Ukrainians into Snohomish County. The partners opened the Snohomish County Welcoming Center on October 1, 2021, and since that time, it has served over 4,600 Afghans and over 11,000 Ukrainians. The model that Snohomish County and our partners created is widely recognized as the “gold standard” for care and service for newly arrived refugees.

The County was awarded $2,060,000 for the period of 7/1/2023 through 6/30/2025. This amendment increases the award by  $21,803.44 for a new total of $2,081,803.44 to be expended by 6/30/2025. The contract expiration remains 6/30/2025.

The funds are sub-contracted, except a portion for Human Services administration. The County retained $20,000 for administration costs and the remaining $2,061,803.44 will be subcontracted to partners to continue supporting newly arrived refugees by providing basic needs, resettlement services and rehousing assistance.

Motion 23-563 authorized the Executive to execute contract amendments.
