Jefferson County Public Hospital District No. 2, DBA Jefferson Healthcare – Jefferson Healthcare Patient Imaging Project

• Organization Address: Jefferson Healthcare, 834 Sheridan Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368
• Project Address: 74 Breaker Lane, Port Ludlow, WA 98365
• Funding Request: $2,625,000
• Account Type: USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Grant
• Project Description: The funding would be used to create a new patient imaging project in a rural portion of the Olympic Peninsula. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because being a critical access hospital in a rural county, their operating budget does not allow for them to take on crucial capital projects of this size without partnership support. Jefferson Healthcare has a demonstrated track record of sustainable investments, and this project is in line with that responsible growth. Federal funding will bring this necessary medical service to residents in south Jefferson County. The project has a federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by Section 2331 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, 7 U.S. Code section 950aaa.

Quinault Indian Nation – Quinault Indian Nation Fire Station Construction

• Organization Address: 1214 Aalis Drive, 189 Taholah, WA 98587
• Project Address: 1214 Aalis Drive, 189 Taholah, WA 98587
• County: Grays Harbor
• Funding Request: $3,000,000
• Account Type: USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Grant
• Project Description: The funding would be used for construction of fire stations as the Quinault Indian Nation’s communities do not have dedicated firefighting facilities that permit acceptable response times to its residents. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because there are currently no fire stations in these villages. The fire engine and tender are currently stored in a utilities garage and lean-to at the fire cache. These communities are remote and are therefore more vulnerable to fire impacts given the presumed response times from non-Tribal responders.  This project has a Federal nexus as it is for the same purposes authorized in section 306 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, 7 U.S. Code section 1926(a).

• Funding Request: $238,446
• Account Type: DOJ State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance – Byrne Justice Assistance Grants
• Project Description: The funding would be used for Turning Pointe to sustain emergency shelter operations, including staffing, providing critical supportive services for survivors of domestic violence. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because while domestic violence often occurs behind closed doors, its impacts ripple far beyond the individual survivor, affecting families, communities, workplaces, and public systems. By supporting this project, taxpayers are investing in a proven public safety intervention that reduces future expenditures on healthcare, law enforcement, education, and social services.  The project has a federal nexus because the funding provided is for activities consistent with, and supportive of, the Office of Justice Programs’ mission and aligned with one or more of the purposes described in the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) program, section 501 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (34 U.S.C. § 10152).

City of Ocean Shores – Southern End Erosion Project

• Organization Address: 800 Anchor Avenue NW Ocean Shores, WA 98569
• Project Address: Marine View Drive at Neptune Way, continuing east to the Quinault Marina campground, 46.945856 Latitude & -124.139951 Longitude
• Funding Request: $2,925,000
• Account Type: FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Projects
• Project Description: The funding would be used to address erosion, which is the City of Ocean Shores’ hazard of greatest concern. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the City’s stormwater drainage system is integral to the freshwater system and was initially installed in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The city has sewer lines in the project area that could be affected if saltwater were to overtop the berm and make its way across the street to the pump station, and one of the freshwater tanks. The proposed project will build a bigger, stronger berm, that can withstand the threat of erosion for years to come and save taxpayers money in the long-run. The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by section 203 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5133), as amended by Section 1234, National Public Infrastructure Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation, of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (DRRA) of 2018.

• Funding Request: $8,000,000
• Account Type: FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Projects
• Project Description: The funding would be used for the Jorstad Substation Grid Resilience Project, which is part of the PUD's overall grid resilience strategy and involves constructing a substation in Lilliwaup, the center of a 46.3 mile stretch of power distribution lines that serve the Hood Canal. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because it is a vetted strategy in the PUD’s & Mason County’s FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Given the high frequency and duration of power outages that this region has experienced in the last four years, the 3,551 homes and businesses would benefit greatly from increased reliability and system redundancy in an expedited timeframe. The reduction in outages because of this project is estimated to save PUD ratepayers approximately $120,935.21/year in overtime response costs. The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by section 203 of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5133), as amended by Section 1234, National Public Infrastructure Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation, of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (DRRA) of 2018.

City of Fife – 54th Ave E and Taylor Way Corridor Improvements

• Organization Address: 5411 23rd St E, Fife, WA 98424
• Project Address: The intersection of SR 509 and Taylor Way
• Funding Request: $900,000
• Account Type: Highway Infrastructure Projects
• Project Description: The project will build a second northbound left turn lane on Taylor Way at SR 509. The project will reduce backups on Taylor Way, which can impact the main access to a residential neighborhood, and improve access to westbound SR 509. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the City of Fife, the Port of Tacoma and the regional economies are growing. The movement of goods and services remain a critical part to sustaining local and regional economies in the future. By investing in freight mobility improvements, like the 54th Avenue E and Taylor Way Corridor Project, we can help the local and regional businesses expand economic opportunities and remain competitive in the global markets. These opportunities will lead to local job growth for working families and promote small business expansion in the city of Fife. The current congestion at 54th Avenue E and Taylor Way also remains a barrier to military deployment to the port. These improvements will help improve JBLM military mobilization in peace and war efficiently and will help bolster our national defenses.  The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by 23 USC 133.

Hoh Indian Tribe – Hoh Tribe Resiliency Center

• Organization Address: P.O. Box 2196, Forks, WA 98331
• Project Address: Hoh Highlands, Highway 101, Forks, WA 98331
• Funding Request: $4,243,374
• Account Type: HUD EDI
• Project Description: The funding would be used for construction of an evacuation center and community center to protect from weather and flooding events or tsunamis. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the Hoh Tribe, located at the mouth of the Hoh River and Pacific Ocean, is at significant risk to severe weather and flooding events and is located in a tsunami zone. Approximately 90% of the developed and residential area is located in a flood zone. The Tribe has had 26 disaster events occur over the last approximately 20 years. Tribal citizens regularly work together to sandbag their homes and tribal facilities to protect from flooding. As a result of this it is urgent that the Tribe construct a safe evacuation center from these severe weather events and potential tsunami and begin to relocate the community to a safer area.  The project has a federal nexus because the funding provided is consistent with purposes authorized in 42 U.S.C. 5305(a)(2).

Kitsap County Department of Human Services – Community Respite Center

• Organization Address: 614 Division Street MS-23, Port Orchard, WA 98366
• Project Address: 810 6th Ave, Bremerton WA 98337
• Funding Request: $1,736,254.52
• Account Type: HUD EDI
• Project Description: The funding would be used for a Community Respite Center that would fill a critical gap in the housing continuum in Kitsap County by providing transitional, respite housing for people recently discharged from local hospitals who are experiencing homelessness. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because in addition to connecting people experiencing homelessness with transitional housing and support services, this project will significantly reduce emergency department utilization. The Community Respite Center will save our state’s health care system approximately $30,859,290 annually. This will also free up dozens of hospital beds that are currently being used to board individuals who no longer need acute care but cannot be safely discharged to the street. This project has a federal nexus because it furthers the goals of an eligible use of the Community Development Fund (CDF) authorized in 42 U.S.C. 5305(a)(4).  Link to signed disclosure letter here.  

Makah Indian Tribe – Makah Housing Resilience Project

• Organization Address: PO Box 115, Neah Bay, WA, 98357
• Project Address: Neah Bay, WA, 98357
• Funding Request: $3,824,000
• Account Type: HUD EDI
• Project Description: The Makah Tribe is requesting federal funding to construct durable, high-quality housing that supports long-term community stability and essential service retention. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because it will address the severe and persistent housing shortage impacting the Neah Bay community, with between 80 and 100 applicants currently on the housing waitlist. Many of these applicants are families living in overcrowded or substandard conditions, or individuals who have been waiting years for access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. The shortage of workforce housing directly undermines the Tribe’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel for critical services, including healthcare providers at the Sophie Trettevick Indian Health Center, law enforcement officers and emergency responders within the Public Safety Department, and teachers and staff in the Neah Bay School District. Without reliable housing options, these essential services struggle with chronic staffing shortages, jeopardizing the health, safety, and education of the Makah people. This project aligns with the federal government’s trust responsibility to Tribal Nations and directly supports national priorities related to Tribal sovereignty, housing equity, and infrastructure investment.  The project has a federal nexus because the funding provided is consistent with purposes authorized in 42 U.S.C.5305(a)(2).

• Funding Request: $2,350,000
• Account Type: Port Infrastructure Development Program
• Project Description: The funding would be used for the Husky Terminal and Washington United Terminal berth deepening project. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because this project will bring the entire waterway down to -57 feet and widen the turning basin so that larger and heavier ships can always transit in and out of the terminals, without draft restrictions. Deepening the berths at the same time as the waterway is deepened will help maximize the benefit of planned investments by USACE and Port of Tacoma. This project will enable international container terminals to service larger vessels which is critical to maintaining and growing the workforce on the docks and in supporting industries including the trucking, warehouse, and agricultural sectors.  The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by 46 USC 54301. Link to signed disclosure letter here.  

Port of Port Angeles – č̕ixʷícən (Tse-whit-zen) Protection Area Restoration

• Organization Address: 338 W. First St, Port Angeles, WA 98362
• Project Address: Marine Drive, Port Angeles, 98363
• Funding Request: $3,201,660
• Account Type: HUD EDI
• Project Description: The funding will restore 6+ acres of Port-owned land to remove derelict infrastructure from the site to return it to a non-industrial condition. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the restoration activities, including the removal of industrial infrastructure on the property, will ensure the site is in good condition for preservation. The project also increases the size of preservation-ready space at Tse-whit-zen that can qualify for state and federal historic property designations. If received, such a designation could bring additional investments and tourism activity to Port Angeles. This project has a Federal nexus because it is for purposes authorized under CDBG 5305(a)(4).

• Funding Request: $5,000,000
• Account Type: Transit Infrastructure Projects
• Project Description: The funding would support the development of Southworth Terminal Redevelopment to include terminal building replacement, improvement to passenger and transit circulation and timber trestle structure replacement. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the trestle structure at the Southworth Ferry Terminal, constructed in 1958, is at or beyond its useful life, and is seismically vulnerable. This replacement will add 75 years of usable lifespan to the trestle, improve structural resiliency, and water quality through updated stormwater treatment, and will complement and advance a wider set of projects that improve transit connection, bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle mobility.  The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by chapter 53 of title 49 of the United States Code.
