The People's Budget
your voice, your choice
What? Fund existing rental assistance programs and eviction prevention programs.
Who? People in unstable housing with back owed rent/eviction notices.
Organizations: YMCA Social Impact Center, Catholic Community Services
This proposal has been accepted because:
Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)
Rough cost estimate: TBD
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
❌ This idea names a vendor, which would violate open contract laws.
✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: N/A
Other notes: Outside of funds specific to addressing impacts of the COVID pandemic, the Office of Housing does not provide rent assistance at this time. May wish to consult the Human Services Department. Eviction prevention funds are also provided to Department of Construction and Inspections and the the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
