Office of Homeless Youth sought input from those with lived experience to evaluate competitive proposals for funding from service providers across Washington state

OLYMPIA, WA — Nearly 60 young people with lived experience of homelessness from across Washington state gathered recently in SeaTac over three days to help evaluate hundreds of applications for funding through the Office of Homeless Youth (OHY) at the Washington Department of Commerce. The more than $40 million in grants announced today will increase support and direct services to ensure that no young person spends a single night without a safe, stable place to call home.

Funded projects support a wide range of interventions to prevent and address housing instability among young people ages 12 through 24, including emergency housing and rental assistance, crisis intervention services, outreach to connect homeless youth with resources, mental health services, and flexible funding to divert young people from the homeless crisis response system.

View a complete list of the 112 grants awarded (PDF).

“Hearing from those we serve, particularly those with lived experience of the challenges we are addressing, is core to Commerce’s commitment to equity and transparency in our program design and funding decisions,” said Commerce Director Mike Fong. “We are grateful for the time, passion and invaluable insights these young people contributed to make this a better and more inclusive process.”

OHY Executive Director Kim Justice said that youth engagement and voice in the process is one of the office’s top priorities, noting this is the second year (Medium story) that young experts were consulted. Other priorities considered in determining the funding awards included geographic distribution and equity in services for youth of color and LGBTQ+ youth.

The lived experts were included in decision-making in a way not seen before in state government. Young people spent nearly six months engaged in this process, taking a lead role in identifying funding priorities, developing scoring criteria, and analyzing $120 million in funding requests through the lens of their own experience struggling with housing instability and accessing services and programs for support. Their evaluations, alongside other criteria identified in the competitive funding process, determined which applicants received funding.

“This is my second year of being involved in the RFP process and conference – it has opened my eyes and showed me how as youth and young adults we can directly impact our community,” said Jalen Hayes, OHY Youth Advocate from Snohomish County. “Making new connections and networking with my peers helped show me that others across the state are interested in making a change like myself. The OHY staff is dedicated to helping youth and young adults and making sure our voices are heard. They take pride in this new way of incorporating youth and young adult lived experiences into the system and we as youth appreciate it.”

The grants come from $37.7 million in state funds and $5 million in US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds for the Youth Homeless Demonstration Program available to 11 counties in the Balance of State Continuum of Care.

The Office of Homeless Youth (OHY) was created in the Department of Commerce by the Homeless Youth Prevention and Protection Act in 2015. OHY leads statewide efforts to reduce and prevent homelessness for youth and young adults through five priority service areas to ensure our youth and young adults have: Stable Housing – Every youth has a safe and healthy place to sleep; Family Reconciliation – Families are reunited when safe and appropriate; Permanent Connections  – Youth have opportunities to establish positive, healthy relationships with adults; Education and Employment – Youth have opportunities to advance their education or training and obtain employment; and Social and Emotional Well-Being – Youth have access to behavioral and physical health care; services nurture each youth’s strengths and abilities.

IN FOCUS: DNR to Ban Campfires on State Lands in Southeast Region Beginning Friday.

https://www.dnr.wa.gov/news/dnr-ban-campfires-state-lands-southeast-region-beginning-friday

Hot, dry summer weather has dried out fuels and is forecast to continue, increasing wildfire danger and prompting the decision

 

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is banning all campfires on lands it manages throughout its Southeast Region starting 12:01 a.m. Friday as hot, dry summer weather has increased wildfire danger in the area.

 

Fire dangers have reached extreme levels in the lower Columbia Basin and are very high across much of the rest of the 17-county region. The restriction on campfires includes popular recreation destinations in the Teanaway Community Forest near Cle Elum and the Ahtanum State Forest west of Yakima.

 

This restriction is a critical step to reduce potential wildfire ignition sources as fire dangers continue to stay elevated. Fuels across Eastern Washington are drying out quickly, as a warming trend after Monday’s widespread thunderstorms will combine with rapidly dropping live fuel moistures. An uptick of fires in forested areas east of the Cascades indicates that we are entering the heart of fire season in the Pacific Northwest.

 

For people recreating throughout the region on DNR-managed lands, propane or butane camp stoves and backpacking stoves are still allowed.

 

DNR’s Southeast Region, headquartered in Ellensburg, manages nearly 900,000 acres of state trust and conservation lands in Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima counties, as well as portions of Lincoln and Skamania counties.

Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset’s TERRIFYING Next Phase.

It’s time to take the global progressive elites at their word when they say everything is about to change: the economy, society, where we live, how we live, how we work … EVERYTHING. Called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this societal transformation is at our doorstep. But the only people making plans for things like AI, quantum computing, the Metaverse, central bank digital currencies, automation, and so much more are the ones sitting in Davos at the World Economic Forum — and they’re redesigning society based on it. In this episode, Glenn gives an inside look into how all these technologies will turn the Great Reset into a terrifying dystopian Great Narrative of central control, mass surveillance, and a lack of liberty and freedom that we have never experienced before. It’s the focus of his newly released book, “Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset’s Terrifying Next Phase.” Glenn gives you a preview of what you’ll find in the book: what’s coming, what they are designing, and how you can prepare.

KILMER ANNOUNCES $25 MILLION FOR JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM BRIDGE REPLACEMENT.

 

Link Source: https://kilmer.house.gov/media/press-releases/kilmer-announces-25-million-for-jamestown-sklallam-bridge-replacement

SEQUIM, WA – Today, U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (WA-06) announced that the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has been awarded a $25 million RAISE Discretionary Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. This grant will be used to replace the Big Quilcene River bridge on Linger Longer Road. The new bridge will have pedestrian infrastructure and will also replace flood-prone segments of Linger Longer Road.

“Climate change and rising sea levels are threatening communities across our region – including Tribal communities. The federal government has an obligation to fulfill its trust and treaty responsibilities to ensure folks aren’t put at risk,” said Rep. Kilmer. “That’s why I have continued to push the federal government to deliver critical funding like this to help communities build climate resilience. Through awards like this, the federal government is moving to reduce flood risk, restore fish passage, and provide critical access to upstream habitat. That’s important if we’re going to protect communities and to recover the salmon populations that are so vital to our region’s economy, culture, and way of life.”

“Our community is about to receive an incredible new floodplain-spanning bridge (1,040-feet long) on Linger Longer Road, courtesy of the Tribe and our amazing partners the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group,” said Ron Allen, Tribal Council Chairman, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. “I think the Tribe and HCSEG should plan one of the greatest ribbon cutting ceremonies ever. We will also upgrade the levee system to ensure that the Linger Longer community has a high level (1,000-year or greater) of flood protection. The Tribe and HCSEG will also construct a re-natured river channel through this reach that will have world class salmon habitat to produce large numbers of salmon for the benefit of treaty tribes and non-treaty fishers. In addition, restoration of the floodplain will provide significant benefits for shellfish habit in Quilcene Bay.”

In previous years, significant efforts were made to maintain public access to the bridge. In 2022, the Washington State Department of Transportation carried out a $1.5 million project aimed at preserving the bridge and prolonging its lifespan. The allocated $25 million will be utilized to build a new bridge, incorporate pedestrian infrastructure, and address sections of Linger Longer Road that are prone to flooding.

IN FOCUS: Biden-Harris Administration Approves Third Major Offshore Wind Project in U.S. Waters

Ocean Wind 1 will power more than 380,000 homes, create more than 3,000 good-paying jobs.

https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/biden-harris-administration-approves-third-major-offshore-wind-project-us-waters

WASHINGTON – The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management today announced it has approved the plan for construction and operations of the Ocean Wind 1 project offshore New Jersey. Located about 13 nautical miles southeast of Atlantic City, the project will have an estimated capacity of 1,100 megawatts of clean energy – capable of powering over 380,000 homes – and is expected to create more than 3,000 good-paying jobs through development and a three-year construction cycle.

Today’s announcement marks the Biden-Harris administration’s third approval of a commercial-scale, offshore wind energy project in the United States, joining the Vineyard Wind project offshore Massachusetts and the South Fork Wind project offshore Rhode Island and New York, both now under construction and being built by union labor. These projects represent significant progress toward the Administration’s goals of developing 30 gigawatts of clean, renewable offshore wind energy by the year 2030, while protecting biodiversity and multiple uses of the ocean.

“Since Day One, the Biden-Harris administration has worked to jump-start the offshore wind industry across the country – and today’s approval for the Ocean Wind 1 project is another milestone in our efforts to create good-paying union jobs while combatting climate change and powering our nation," said Secretary Deb Haaland. “By working closely with state and local leaders, Tribes, ocean users, and other stakeholders, we are moving forward with responsible clean energy development that will benefit communities, while also mitigating potential impacts on the environment or marine life.”

“Ocean Wind 1 represents another significant step forward for the offshore wind industry in the United States," said BOEM Director Elizabeth Klein. "The project's approval demonstrates the federal government's commitment to developing clean energy and fighting climate change and is a testament to the state of New Jersey's leadership in supporting sustainable sources of energy and economic development for coastal communities."

President Biden’s Investing in America agenda and “Bidenomics” strategy are growing the American economy from the middle out and bottom up – from rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure, to driving over $490 billion in private sector manufacturing and clean energy investments in the United States, to creating good paying jobs and building a clean energy economy that will combat climate change and make our communities more resilient. The Administration is making a once-in-a-generation investment in America’s infrastructure and our clean energy future and taking the next steps to bring offshore wind energy to additional areas around the country.

“Construction is already underway on two wind projects off the coasts of Massachusetts and New York. Today’s announcement gives the greenlight for construction of another. This project, off the coast of New Jersey, will supply enough energy on its own to power nearly half a million homes. This massive expansion in clean energy construction didn’t just happen. It’s not an accident. It’s Bidenomics in action. Big, bold, and building things,” said White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. “Thanks to President Biden’s leadership, the United States will keep seizing opportunities for offshore wind and other clean energy technologies, strengthening our energy security and advancing our climate goals, all while creating good-paying jobs up and down the manufacturing supply chain.”

The Record of Decision (ROD) documents the decision to approve Ocean Wind LLC’s plan to construct up to 98 wind turbines and up to three offshore substations within its lease area.

The decision also documents the extensive range of monitoring and mitigation measures that Ocean Wind will undertake to reduce the potential for impacts to protected species, such as marine mammals, sea turtles, and Atlantic sturgeon. These measures include vessel speed restrictions and clearance zones during construction. Ocean Wind has also committed to three fisheries mitigation programs: a direct compensation program for reimbursement of lost revenues, a navigational safety fund for navigation equipment upgrades, and a reimbursement program for lost or damaged commercial fishing gear. BOEM worked with Tribes, federal, state, and local government agencies and reviewed comments provided by industry, ocean users, and other key partners and stakeholders to develop these measures.

On June 24, 2022, BOEM published a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), initiating a 45-day public comment period, which was later extended until Aug. 23, 2022. During this time, BOEM held three virtual public meetings to solicit additional feedback on the draft EIS from Tribal nations, local community members, commercial fishing interests, and other ocean users. BOEM received over 1,300 comments from Federal, Tribal, state, and local government agencies; non-governmental organizations; and the general public during the comment period.

BOEM held Tribal consultation meetings with Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe of Indians in June 2021, and with Delaware Tribe of Indians and Shinnecock Indian Nation in November 2022. BOEM also held five meetings as part of the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 process with 37 consulting parties (made up of Tribal nations, federal agencies, state agencies, local governments, nongovernmental organizations, private property owners, and the lessee), to identify avoidance and mitigation measures for potential impacts to historic and cultural resources and properties.

BOEM considered the information obtained from these meetings when developing the final EIS, a critical step to ensure the project can move forward while balancing the needs and interests of everyone who may be affected by the development.

In the past two years, the Biden-Harris administration has made progress towards catalyzing a new clean energy industry, by investing in workers and communities, while protecting biodiversity and ocean co-use. BOEM expects to review at least 16 Construction and Operations Plans of commercial, offshore wind energy facilities by 2025, which would represent more than 27 GW of clean energy for the nation.

A mother was explaining to her little girl about the death of her father. The mother said, “God has sent for your father and will send for us, but I do not know just when.” Finally the little girl said, “If we do not know just when God is going to send for us, do you not think we had better pack up and get ready? God might send for us when we are not ready to go.” Great truths are often spoken by children, and in this story is the truth that we should be prepared at all times, for we do not know when we will be called upon to leave this world. It may be much sooner than we think. Are you ready?--TFTW

Editor's comment: Due to the unfair suspension of my account on facebook, due to hackers robbing my info to do cause trouble I'm no longer allowed there thus won't be able to share updates of this blog, or any other publication so I am now on  mewe, and tumblr https://peter5r.online/

along with other media platforms to promote this publication. It's an unfortunate thing that happened. Lesson can be learn here, never give out information when it seems safe to do so, check and see if your friend who is requesting the information is actually the person, not a hacker who posing as that person. 

FACE BOOK PUT ME IN FB JAIL!

 

Peter Ripley

  I've been a member of Face Book since 2009.

Never once been in violation of their rules, now since I've been hacked, they suspended my membership due to activities that don't meet their standards. Free speech be damned! So I won't be able to promote my two publications, The Port Angeles Globe, and Night Owl Comics on the FB platform until further notice. I think it had something to do with being hacked, and the hackers are using my account to hack others. So naturally face book is blaming the victims of these hackers. Which I liken to one of my characters on my comic book page, the Medusa! Which fits!

The medusa of the net, these hackers

So in the meantime I'll be promoting my publications on other social media platforms, such as: MeWE, Medium, Twitter. Hope you all have a great 4th of July...God Bless

Commerce to make historic investments in affordable housing projects statewide.

Applications open now for over $300 million in capital to develop multifamily rental housing projects

OLYMPIA, WA — The Washington State Department of Commerce today opened applications for projects seeking capital to develop affordable housing across the state. At more than $302 million, it is the state’s largest single funding round to date.

Funds are available to eligible non-profits, local governments, community housing development agencies, tribal governments and housing authorities. Over $290 million comes from the Washington Legislature’s historic appropriation for the 2023-25 biennium, including a $24.2 million set aside for projects serving persons with disabilities and $107.4 million from the Apple Health and Homes program.

“Stable housing is the foundation for self-sufficiency,” said Commerce Director Mike Fong. “These historic investments are crucial to tackling a decades-long deficit in housing that is affordable and available to those who need it most.”

Fong joined Gov. Jay Inslee, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and others yesterday to celebrate opening of the YWCA’s 800 East Denny Way project, a 91-unit apartment building designed to address barriers to affordable housing for low-income households and households at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The project received $20 million in capital from the Housing Trust Fund in 2022.

The new investments, expected to be announced in December, will align with the 2023-25 investment strategy for affordable housing projects. The strategy explains how Commerce plans to administer the funds and was recently updated and released today, following months of input from the public, community partners and stakeholders. Read the 2023-25 Biennial Investment Strategy.

In addition to the state Housing Trust Fund applications, another $12.4 million is available from federal National Housing Trust Fund and HOME program funds administered in Washington state by Commerce. This funding will also support multifamily rental housing projects across the state.

Detailed information and application materials for both affordable housing funding opportunities are available on the Commerce website at Applying to the Housing Trust Fund – Washington State Department of Commerce.

Commerce is hosting in-person and virtual workshops for potential applicants in July and August. To learn more, visit the Housing Trust Fund Resources and Trainings webpage at https://www.commerce.wa.gov/building-infrastructure/housing/housing-trust-fund/resources-trainings/.

Since 1986, the Washington State Housing Trust Fund, administered by Commerce, has invested more than $1 billion in capital to help build or preserve more than 60,000 units of affordable housing statewide.

Making “internet for all” possible in Washington

How the state and federal governments are working together to bring high-speed internet to every corner of the Evergreen State.

Link source: https://medium.com/wagovernor/making-internet-for-all-possible-in-washington-3160670364bd

President Biden’s administration announced this week that Washington will receive over $1.2 billion to expand high-speed internet networks statewide.

“I’m thrilled to see the federal government stepping up to invest in the work we’ve been doing for years to expand equitable access to high-speed internet,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “We’re going to put this funding to work connecting Washingtonians across the state to broadband, with all the opportunities this technology brings.”

Washington consistently ranks among the ‘best connected’ states in the country when it comes to internet access. But there are still nearly 230,000 households in Washington that do not use broadband services, according to the Federal Communications Commission.

These households face multiple barriers. For some, it’s a lack of infrastructure in rural areas. For others, it’s an affordability issue — the monthly subscription fee or the cost of an internet-enabled device just doesn’t fit in their budget. For still others, it’s a question of technical knowledge — they need to develop certain digital skills that many of us take for granted.

Today, with the increasing availability of remote work, tele-medicine, online education and workforce training, access to the internet is essential. The price of staying disconnected is high and rising. And despite record state-level investments in broadband programs, those without access have continued to fall further behind.

The projected cost to fully address remaining gaps in internet service throughout the state runs to billions of dollars. Private companies haven’t expanded service to some less populated parts of the state simply because the construction and maintenance work required is too expensive and not profitable.

As a result, the state government stepped in over the past several years to partner with communities and bridge the digital divide across Washington. With the influx of federal funding, the state will be able to scale up these efforts and serve more Washingtonians.

Programs tailored to the communities they serve

The Nisqually Tribe’s leadership looked at broadband expansion the same way they had looked at building out the electrical grid a century earlier. They recognized it as a necessity for the Tribe to fully engage in the social and economic opportunities afforded by new technology. They drew that parallel explicitly in planning meetings.

“We called it ‘lighting up the rez,’” said Joe Cushman, an economic development director with the Nisqually.

In 2017, the Tribe applied for funds from Washington state to build their own high-speed internet network. Through creative public and private partnerships, they also started a training program to create the workforce necessary to build out broadband infrastructure — drilling, excavating, splicing wires, and installing lines. The workforce training program has become a permanent fixture on the reservation and has a 90% job placement rate for graduates, according to Mike Mason, the Tribe’s manager of economic development.

“This is a big picture strategy: it’s about making connectivity affordable; it’s about working with communities so they can take advantage of high-speed internet; it’s about training to bring workers into the industry,” said Mason.

Those living on the Nisqually Tribe’s land now have access to advanced, one-gigabit broadband — faster than what is available in many U.S. cities. And the Tribe is now working with others, including the Chehalis Tribe and Thurston and Pierce counties to expand their network beyond the reservation’s borders.

Innovative efforts like this are being replicated across the state. In 2018, Washington’s Utilities and Transportation Commission provided $800,000 to help bring broadband to the Quileute Tribe and to the residents of La Push. The new federal Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program will provide significant funding to enable Tribes to continue doing this work.

Thanks to legislation passed in 2021, certain public entities can provide broadband services directly to their constituencies. Some Washington cities and counties, including the city of Anacortes and Jefferson County’s public utility district have started their own internet service providers, rather than waiting for private companies to build out the infrastructure.

“We’re taking that extra step to be that retail ISP… so that, in our rural areas, we can ensure our customers that if we build it, there will be someone there to provide that service and take care of that service in case anything goes wrong,” said Will O’Donnell, communications director of Jefferson’s Public Utility District.

The Washington State Public Works Board supported the Jefferson County PUD’s project with a $1.8 million loan last year to help connect hundreds of businesses in and around Port Townsend — the county’s only incorporated city — to high-speed internet.

The SBO’s crucial role

The State Broadband Office (SBO) within the Washington State Department of Commerce oversees this crucial work. It coordinates public and private investments, and ensures that resources are deployed efficiently and equitably. Approved by the Legislature in 2019 at Inslee’s request, the office is driven by a legislative mandate to ensure that all businesses and residences in Washington have access to some form of internet service by 2024 and that all businesses and residences have access to high-speed internet service by 2028.

The state has been steadily providing grant funding to projects around the state. Recent rounds include $121 million in grant funding for 19 projects that will bring access to nearly 15,000 people in unserved and underserved communities across Washington.

The SBO understood what was at stake in the run-up to the federal government’s decision regarding funding. Commerce and the SBO worked with closely with federal partners, including the Federal Communications Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to map out where new infrastructure would be necessary to reach the goal of ‘internet for all’ in Washington.

The surveys they conducted, which included official ‘challenges’ to the FCC’s initial maps, were crucial to insuring that the FCC understood just how great the need for funding was in Washington. The survey efforts and other outreach work helped secure federal grants for counties in Washington in the past and increased the amount of federal money that Washington received as part of the BEAD program announced this week.

“All of our schools… have fiber-optics connected. That’s half the equation. The other half is when the kids go home, they don’t have good internet access,” said Mark Cockerill, a community councilmember in Key Peninsula. “In some cases they don’t have internet at all. And the same is true for some of our teachers. [Without internet access at home] they can’t do what they need to do, to progress and stive forward.”

Promoting digital literacy

The SBO’s goals extend beyond building out infrastructure. Their digital equity programs also provide Washingtonians with the opportunity to learn how to use broadband-enabled devices, through the Washington’s Digital Navigator Program.

Since its inception in 2022, the office’s Digital Navigator team has served tens of thousands of clients. Services run the gamut from basic digital literacy trainings for activities like online banking and telehealth appointments to more advanced lessons in advanced activities like database design and building mobile apps — the kinds of skills that can lead to family-wage jobs and careers.

“Telecommunications technology relieves the tyranny of distance by connecting people. Bridging the digital divide is about more than providing fiber optic lines or wireless infrastructure. It’s about bringing communities together” said Mark Vasconi, the director of Washington’s State Broadband Office.

Another Gospel

In the book of Galatians, Paul marveled that the churches of Galatia were turning to “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6). They had been faithful to the true gospel, but were turning to and proclaiming a different way of salvation. To accept this perverted plan of salvation meant that they would be lost, cut off from God and Christ.--TFTW

This Glenn Beck Museum Tour Will RED-PILL Your Leftist Friends 

The far Left would love nothing more than for America to forget its own history. But it's not just the good that needs preserving. We also must remember our darkest mistakes so we NEVER repeat them. Over the past few years, we've seen the rise of an "expert class" of elites who insist THEY know best and the rest of us should shut up and OBEY. But we've seen this before. On this episode of "Glenn TV," Glenn exposes that dark history with the artifacts that prove it. It's all part of the most disturbing section of his traveling museum, "Blueprints of Liberty — The American Journey Experience with Glenn Beck." Called the "Red Pill Room," it documents real dangers of progressivism and eugenics. Glenn tells the true stories behind disturbing artifacts — documents signed by Adolf Hitler and Nazi "doctor" Josef Mengele that authorized "mercy" killings, a briefcase of papers from the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case, which allowed abortion to thrive, postcards referring to lynchings as "barbecues," and one of the most twisted movies ever made, "The Black Stork." These evil ideas, Glenn warns, haven't gone away. They're just called by a new name. But even in all this darkness, there is still hope, as long as we remember what REAL truth is.
