About this opportunity
The Best Starts for Kids’ Youth and Family Homelessness Prevention Initiative (YFHPI) provides critical resources to help youth and families who are at risk of homelessness stay housed, with long-term benefits for the strength and stability of our communities. We are seeking to partner with approximately fifteen community-based organizations to provide intensive case management coupled with flexible funds for youth and households with youth ages birth-24 years that are at imminent risk of losing their housing; and one or two partners who will provide one-time rental assistance support to YFHPI households.
Partnering community-based organizations should represent the households they are providing support to, and priority will be given to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) serving organizations.
Eligibility: This request is open to non-profit organizations, community-based organizations (CBOs), tribes and tribal organizations, and public or governmental agencies serving communities in King County. Small non-profits and community-based organizations (CBOs) are encouraged to submit proposals.
Funding: Eighteen months of program funding (from July 1, 2022 – December 31, 2023) is available through this opportunity. Contingent upon funding and performance contracts may be extended for 2 additional years.
