All met their 2025 goals. 24 agencies are Super Performers, achieving goals far above what they are funded for. Cuts to Federal Funding limit flexible funds for agencies. Demands will increase on cities to fund more to preserve staffing, maintain levels of service, and reduce waitlists. Due to budget cuts, agencies prioritize families for financial assistance. As a result, single adults struggle to qualify for available resources. Increased funding to agencies does not increase their capacity. What additional funding DOES allow is for cities to pay a higher percentage of the true cost of services. 12 Attach A TUKWILA HUMAN SERVICES 2025-26 Grant -Funded Agencies/Programs Non -Profit Agency Allocation $418,062 Tukwila Water/Sewer Utility Assistance $6,438 Contingency Fund $8,500 Total Human Services Allocation $433,000 1 (School District funded new partner) 2 Children's Home Society (formerly Childhaven) - Outpatient Mental Health $35,000 3 Children's Therapy Center - Neurodevelopmental Support Services Birth to Age 3 $5,000 4 Consejo - Counseling & Referral $5,000 5 Crisis Connections Crisis Line - Mental Health Crisis Calls $3,408 6 Crisis Clinic Teen Link - Peer Support for Mental Health, Suicide Prevention $2,000 7 DAWN - Community Advocacy for DV Survivors $4,000 8 Health Point - Dental Care $7,500 9 Health Point - Medical Care $7,500 10 Institute for Family Devel - PACT In -Home Counseling $20,900 11 King County Sexual Assault Resource Center - Medical, Legal, Advocacy $8,977 12 YWCA-Children's Gender Based Violence - Program for Kids who Witness DV $7,000 13 YWCA -Gender Based Violence Services DV Support Services for Adults $7,000 Category Total $123,285 HOUSING 14 African Community Housing & Development -Holistic Housing &Advocacy 15 Catholic Comm Service Rcnt and & Utility Assistance (Program closed due to federal cuts) 16 Hospitality House -Shelter - Shelter for Single Women 17 KC Bar Foundation - Pro Bono Legal Assistance & Housing Justice Project 18 Mary's Place - Eviction Prevention Funds 19 Multi Service Center - EARNS Rent & Utility Assistance 20 Multi Service Center - Family Shelter 21 Renton Ecumenical - Center of HOPE Shelter (women & women w/children) 22 St. Stephen Housing - Transitional family housing 23 YWCA Anita Vista (Confidential DV Shelter) $17,500 $ 25, 000 $10,000 $5,000 $10,000 $42,000 $5,450 $10,000 $12,500 $9,000 Category °Total $146,450 FOOD SECURITY 24 Sound Generations - Meals on Wheels - meals for home bound seniors 25 Still Waters 26 Tukwila Pantry - Food Bank $12,237 $4,000 $40,000 Category Total $56,237 SUPPORT FOR INDEPENDENCE 27 Aerospace Joint Apprenticship - Advanced Manufacturing Training 28 Bridge Ministries - Medical Equipment 29 Crisis Connections 2-1-1 30 LCSNW - Angle Lake Family Resource Center 31 NW Education Access - College Readiness 32 OneAmerica - ESL 33 Partner in Employment - Employment & Training 34 PSTC - Employment & Training 35 ReWA - Basic Needs 36 SVDP - Centro Rendu 37 Sound Generations - Volunteer Transportation $3,000 $3,000 $2,500 $9,000. $2,000 $5,000 $20,000 $10,000 $31,500 $3,000. $3,090 Category Total $92,090 13 CITY OF TUKWILA HUMAN SERVICES CONTRACTED PROGRAMS Shelter services provided by 6 funded agencies to provide services to Tukwila residents. 3,312 81 501 BEDNIGHTS HOURS GF RESIDENTS PROVIDED CASE MGMT SHELTERED 0 240,373 Pounds of Food Distributed 0 9,080 Meals Served 0 7,780 Snack Pack Program Bags 11,503 Residents Served INFORMATION & REFERRAL Direct contact b/w Residents & Human Services staff. 3,253 Phone Calls 1,758 Housing -Related 582 Utility -Related 417 Hours of System Navigati Assisting residents impacted by domestic violence, assault, and other trauma. 3,912 W CALLS iA RECEIVED 922 3,139 HOURS OF RESIDENTS ADVOCACY A:SSISTE©.
