The Police Department will retain its hours of being open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for fingerprinting, concealed pistol licenses and other services. All services remain available remotely. The state and county mask mandate ended March 12, 2022. Mask wearing is a personal choice for both staff and visitors. * Human Services In March, HS staff assisted 22 households (50 individuals) for a total of $27,158.60 ($25,618 in rent/$1,540.60 in utility assistance). In the past week, we assisted four households (12 individuals) for a total of $3,107.57 ($1,900 in rent, $1,207.57 in utility assistance). The least amount of back owing rent was $600 the highest amount of back owing rent was $7,170. Three households are at varying stages of the intake process. Beginning in April, the HS team will be allocating the ARPA rent/utility assistance funds to qualifying, low-income households that meet program guidelines. Having the ARPA funds allows us to increase the celling on the maximum amount owed in back rent (from $4,000 to $8,000 on a case-by-case basis) as well as increase the lifetime maximum of assistance (from $2,400 to $5,000) with documentation of wage loss due COVID. Residents and landlords who have already applied for the EPRAP program can check their status by going to: https://kingcounty.gov/depts/community-human-services/COVID/eviction-prevention-rent-assistance Source Households Assisted/Ind General Fund Contracted Rent: $700.00 Partners 2/2 Utility: $700.34 Covid Rental & Utility Assistance Rent: $ 1/4 Utility: $507.23 Sewer/Water HB 1406 Rental Assistance Information from the community on total past due rent amount Business Recovery Business Health Funding Breakdown 1/6 $1200.00 $500-$1,200 = 1 $1,250-$3,500 = 6 $3,600-$4,000 = 1 Over $4,000 = 2 Washington's economy continues to be fully open and all businesses and public spaces can operate at full capacity. The State ended its indoor masking order on March 12 (some exceptions 39 apply). King County ended its business vaccine verification order on March 1 and its indoor masking order on March 12. COVID continues to spread but the rate of spread is much slower than the peak in early January. In King County, the seven-day average daily numbers of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are slightly below their levels in early December. Business Assistance The State's Small Business Flex Fund continues of offer low interest loans to small businesses. Staff is participating in the Port of Seattle's creation of a Trusted Community Partners Network that will help navigate small businesses to resources like technical assistance and funding. The State plans to issue another Working Washington grant program in 2022. In 2022 City staff will explore options to use the $190,000 of ARPA funds that Council designated for small business support.
