Patti Kleist, Executive Director of Faith and Action was present when the County Commission heard a continuation of a public hearing held on February 7, 2012 to consider authorizing the Director of Community Development to sign an
application by Mason County to the State of Washington Department of Commerce (DOC) in the amount of $1 million for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), on behalf of Faith in Action for the Center for Seniors Facility in Belfair. This grant would be administrated by the Department of Community Development. The Commission granted permission to the DOC to sign the grant paperwork and proceed.
The commission after hearing comment and testimony from the citizens in attendance, (Linda Thompson, Board Member for the Homeless Coalition in North Mason County and North Mason County Resource Administrative Director, Theran Dickson) approved the Housing Coalition recommended grants for 2012 funding. Both citizens noted the absence of the North Mason Resource center in the fund distribution. North Mason Resource Center received $102,000 in 2011 and no funding at all for 2012.
Vicki Kirkpatrick, Director of Public Health and Human Services, explained how the Housing Coalition, comprised of anyone who cares to participate, reviews the requests and determine the allocation. Kirkpatrick noted the inclusion of North Mason homeless requirements are included within “Mason County requirements” which do not distinguish the different areas within the county.
The funding approval was as follows: From the 2163 Housing Funds for Homeless Prevention: Mason County Shelter for Rental Assistance, $135,720; Mason County Shelter for Rental Assistance Specialist, $23,700; Community Action Council for Utility Assistance, $7,040; Faith in Action for Utility Assistance, $5,760; and United Way of Mason County for Financial Literacy, $10,000. For Services to Homeless: ESD 113 for Youth Outreach, $29,100; St. David’s Church for Adult Outreach, $29,600; Community Action Council for Toothache Clinic, $11,400; For Housing for Homeless Youth, and St. David’s Church, $12,600; For the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Compliance to meet the State mandate to move the Mason County Shelter, $18,000. From the 2060 Funds for Affordable Housing: Turning Pointe, $45,000; Mason County Shelter, $40,000 and St. David’s Emergency Shelter, $10,000.
