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 Since April 14, 2022, HS staff has partnered with 9 households (14 ind.) with a total of $17,797.89 in financial assistance. $16,581.85 in rent assistance, $1,216.04 in utility assistance. During the last two weeks, the least amount of back owing rent was $500 the highest amount of back owing rent was $10,000. Nine households are at varying stages of the intake process. In April, the HS team was able to distribute $39,994.45 to assist qualifying, low-income households in need. Assistance checks are paid directly to vendors (property owners/landlords/utility providers). The HS team has begun 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 ceiling 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 General Fund Contracted Partners ARPA Rental & Utility Assistance Sewer/Water HB 1406 Rental Assistance Information from the community on total past due rent amount Households Assisted/Ind 3/3 5/8 / 1/3 Funding Breakdown Rent: $2,400 Utility: $465.33 Rent: $13,181.85 Utility: $750.71 $ $1000.00 $500-$1,200 = 5 $1,250-$3,500 = 7 $3,600-$4,000 = 3 Over $4,000 = 1 87 * Business Recovery Business Health Washington's economy continues to be fully open, and all businesses and public spaces can operate at full capacity. In King County cases have been rising since mid-March. For the week ending April 23, the seven- day average of daily new COVID cases was 23% higher compared to the prior week. Fortunately, the rate of spread is still much, much slower than the peak in early January. Also, the seven-day average of hospitalizations increased 1 13% over the prior week but is much below its January peak. The fourteen -day average of deaths has decreased compared to the prior period and is much below its February peak. 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 $1 90,000 of ARPA funds that Council designated for small business support.
