FY25/26 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
King County VSHSL funding supports the vast majority of senior programming provided by the Tukwila
Parks and Recreation Department, either through expanded programming opportunities, or lowering
and/or removal of participant fees to lessen potential socioeconomic barriers to access. In previous
years, the awarded amount per year had been $60,000 per fiscal year. We have confirmed with King
County our awarded amounts per fiscal year are as follows:
Fiscal Year Amount Awarded
2024 (July — December)
2025
$45,000
$90,000
2026
$94,500
$229,500
This represents a total increase in secured funding of $79,500 from July of 2024 through December of
2026 when considering the previous $60,000/year baseline. Tukwila Parks and Recreation is excited to
utilize these increased funds in service to our senior and veteran members of the Tukwila and King
County community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This grant award is in the form of a reimbursement grant. The grant does not require a match from the
City and therefore does not create any net financial impact on the General Fund (000) and/or any other
City funds.
