CONSEQUENTIAL PIECES OF

226
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,311

LEVEL, IT IMPOSES SIGNIFICANT 

230
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,190
AND DEEP CUTS TO HEALTH AND 

231
00:10:58,190 --> 00:10:59,225
HUMAN SERVICES, WHILE SHIFTING 

232
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:00,593

243
00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:33,759
THIS PRESENTATION. STARTING WITH

244
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,695
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. THIS 

245
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:40,032
IS PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

246
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:42,435
, MASSIVE CUTS TO MEDICAID AND 

247
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:43,736

249
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,742
OUT WILL BE IN THE NEXT FEW 

250
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:51,177
YEARS, PRIMARILY STARTING IN 

251
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:54,780
2027, LOOKING AT CHANGES IN WORK

252
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:58,717
REQUIREMENTS , SPECIFIC AROUND 

253
00:11:58,717 --> 00:12:00,686
NONCITIZENS , NOT BEING ABLE TO 

254
00:12:00,686 --> 00:12:03,556
ENROLL IN BENEFITS, INCREASED 

255
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:07,893
COST-SHARING TO STATES. ALONG 

256
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:10,362
WITH THIS , PRETTY SIGNIFICANT 

257
00:12:10,362 --> 00:12:12,498
TO US IN OUR COMMUNITY, THE 

258
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:17,203
PROHIBITIVE FEDERAL FUNDING TO 

259
00:12:17,203 --> 00:12:20,606
ENTITIES AS DEEMED AS TAXED 

260
00:12:20,606 --> 00:12:24,343
PRIMARILY AS NONPROFITS. 

261
00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:26,045
FAMILY-PLANNING SERVICES, 

262
00:12:26,045 --> 00:12:28,681
ABORTION SERVICES. SO, 

263
00:12:28,681 --> 00:12:30,883
SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT PLANNED 

264
00:12:30,883 --> 00:12:35,521
PARENTHOOD. WE WILL SEE A 

265
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:36,322
GENERAL DROPPED IN AVAILABILITY 

266
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,724
FOR SERVICES, EVEN AROUND THINGS

267
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:42,728
OUTSIDE OF ABORTION LIKE STI 

268
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:46,732
TESTING, BIRTH CONTROL, AND 

269
00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:48,300
OTHER ENTITIES CRUCIAL TO OUR 

270
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:49,935
RESIDENTS . ON THE MEDICAID 

271
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:53,572
FRONT, A LOT OF THIS FUNDING 

272
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:54,974
FOCUSES ON THE STATE AND THAT IS

273
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:56,842
IMPORTANT TO NOTE, I DID WANT TO

274
00:12:56,842 --> 00:12:58,577
POINT OUT THAT THERE WILL BE 

275
00:12:58,577 --> 00:12:59,812
TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECTS AND A LOT 

276
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:01,580
OF THIS WILL BE IMPACTING OUR 

277
00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:03,916
CONSTITUENTS DIRECTLY . AND 

278
00:13:03,916 --> 00:13:06,519
COULD IMPACT THINGS LIKE PAID 

279
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,755
HEALTH, AGING SERVICES , THAT 

280
00:13:09,755 --> 00:13:12,758
FLOW THROUGH THE COUNTY. 

281
00:13:12,758 --> 00:13:15,895
ALREADY, IN CONVERSATIONS WITH 

282
00:13:15,895 --> 00:13:20,232
THE STATE, GOVERNOR FERGUSON HAS

283
00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:21,834
ANNOUNCED PLANS TO BACKFILL THE 

284
00:13:21,834 --> 00:13:23,369
FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD 

285
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:25,237
AND WE WILL BE CONTINUING THOSE 

286
00:13:25,237 --> 00:13:28,674
CONVERSATIONS AS WE GET INTO THE

287
00:13:28,674 --> 00:13:30,709
BUDGET SEASON. ALSO , I WANTED 

288
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:33,779
TO POINT OUT, THE SMALLER 

289
00:13:33,779 --> 00:13:34,947
EFFECTS OTHER DEPARTMENTS WILL 

290
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:37,283
SEE , FOR EXAMPLE, SEATTLE 

291
00:13:37,283 --> 00:13:40,119
LIBRARY, YOU HAVE A PRETTY 

292
00:13:40,119 --> 00:13:41,654
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STAFF 

293
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:44,390
TIME ALLOCATED TO HELPING 

294
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,292
RESIDENTS FILL OUT FORMS AND 

295
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:49,328
CLAIMS , SPECIFICALLY AROUND 

296
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:56,702
MEDICAID AND S.N.A.P. AS WELL. 

297
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:59,004
ON THE IMMIGRATION AND BORDER 

298
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:01,774
SECURITY SIDE, I AM SURE PEOPLE 

299
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:04,944
HAVE SEEN HEADLIGHTS AROUND THIS

300
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:05,811
, SIGNIFICANT TO NOTE THE 

301
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:07,446
INCREASE IN FEES FOR PEOPLE 

302
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:11,684
APPLYING FOR ASYLUM TO GET 

303
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:14,820
PROTECTIVE STATUS, TPS, EVEN 

304
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:15,788
CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT 

305
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:17,456
AUTHORIZATIONS . A SIGNIFICANT 

306
00:14:17,456 --> 00:14:20,226
INCREASE IN FUNDING FOR DHS , 

307
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:24,630
DOJ, AND I.C.E., YOU KNOW, WE 

308
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:29,134
WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN FUNDING 

309
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:31,437
FOR DETENTION CENTERS AND FEES ,

310
00:14:31,437 --> 00:14:33,072
AND ESPECIALLY THE BORDER 

311
00:14:33,072 --> 00:14:41,447
ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. IT WILL BE 

312
00:14:41,447 --> 00:14:43,215
A DECENT AMOUNT OF MONEY 

313
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:46,318
ALLOCATED FOR SECURITY COSTS. 

314
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:51,357
FUNDING FOR FIFA WORLD CUP, THE 

315
00:14:51,357 --> 00:14:53,125
$625 MILLION WILL BE ALLOCATED 

316
00:14:53,125 --> 00:14:56,228
ACROSS ALL OF THE HOST CITIES 

317
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,830
AND SEATTLE IS LOOKING AT ABOUT 

318
00:14:57,830 --> 00:15:01,800
, I BELIEVE, $31 MILLION FOR 

319
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,136
THAT WHICH IS SPECIFIC TO SAFETY

320
00:15:04,136 --> 00:15:06,405
AND SECURITY COSTS THAT FLOW 

321
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:08,807
THROUGH DHS. LIKELY THAT MONEY 

322
00:15:08,807 --> 00:15:10,809
WILL FLOW THROUGH OUR LOCAL 

323
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:12,945
ORGANIZING COMMITTEE AND I KNOW 

324
00:15:12,945 --> 00:15:17,182
THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND THE

325
00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:20,019
FIFA TEAMS ARE WORKING ON HOW WE

326
00:15:20,019 --> 00:15:24,223
RECEIVE THAT MONEY. OF COURSE, 

327
00:15:24,223 --> 00:15:29,094
YOU KNOW, JUST TO STATE THE 

328
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:29,862
OBVIOUS, THIS WILL HAVE A 

329
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:30,562
CHILLING EFFECT ON OUR 

330
00:15:30,562 --> 00:15:31,597
RESIDENTS, PEOPLE ARE ALREADY 

331
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:33,999
HEARING FROM YOUR TEAMS , YOUR 

332
00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:36,235
OFFICES, THAT , PEOPLE ARE 

333
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:38,637
SCARED, THERE COULD BE A 

334
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:41,340
DECREASE IN PEOPLE WANTING TO GO

335
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:43,475
TO WORK OR FEELING COMFORTABLE 

336
00:15:43,475 --> 00:15:45,911
SENDING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL. 

337
00:15:45,911 --> 00:15:49,081
SO, THAT TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECTS 

338
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,216
SCARES THE COMMUNITY, THAT IS 

339
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:59,658
IMPORTANT TO NOTE. LOOKING AT 

340
00:15:59,658 --> 00:16:03,495
THE HOUSING SIDE, PRIMARILY , 

341
00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:04,330
TWO SIGNIFICANT BUCKETS, AN 

342
00:16:04,330 --> 00:16:06,165
EXPANSION OF THE LOW INCOME 

343
00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:09,935
HOUSING CREDIT , ALONG WITH A 

344
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:13,138
FOCUS ON OPPORTUNITY ZONES. MORE

345
00:16:13,138 --> 00:16:15,941
REQUIREMENTS IN THE OPPORTUNITY 

346
00:16:15,941 --> 00:16:18,844
ZONES, AND A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON 

347
00:16:18,844 --> 00:16:20,946
RURAL AREAS . SEATTLE DOES HAVE 

348
00:16:20,946 --> 00:16:27,486
A FEW DEVELOPMENTS ON THE BEACH,

349
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:31,056
THEY WILL NOT BE TOO SIGNIFICANT

350
00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:32,291
OF IMPACTS GIVEN THE 

351
00:16:32,291 --> 00:16:33,492
REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE 

352
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:35,394
SIGNIFICANT TO NOTE, WITH THE 

353
00:16:35,394 --> 00:16:40,199
EXPANSION . AND COULD BE 

354
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:42,000
POTENTIAL INTERESTS TO EXPAND 

355
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,504
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS A RESULT .

356
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,106
I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT ONE 

357
00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:49,808
POSITIVE, THERE WAS THE 

358
00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:52,044
PRESERVATION OF MUNICIPAL BONDS 

359
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:55,481
TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THIS IS 

360
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:57,649
REALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR 

361
00:16:57,649 --> 00:17:00,619
DEPARTMENT , AS A FINANCING TOOL

362
00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:02,388
FOR MASSIVE PROJECTS AROUND 

363
00:17:02,388 --> 00:17:06,525
TRANSPORTATION , WATER, CITY 

364
00:17:06,525 --> 00:17:07,860
LIGHT DID EXTENSIVE OUTREACH ON 

365
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,462
THIS. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE 

366
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,598
THEIR ADVOCACY AS THIS WAS 

367
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:13,966
DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT 

368
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:15,734
WAS FOR SURE GOING TO GET 

369
00:17:15,734 --> 00:17:25,544
THROUGH. ANOTHER PRETTY 

370
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:27,913
SIGNIFICANT BUCKET IS THE 

371
00:17:27,913 --> 00:17:28,947
SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION 

372
00:17:28,947 --> 00:17:31,617
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM CUTS , ABOUT 

373
00:17:31,617 --> 00:17:34,653
$186 BILLION. THIS COULD MEAN 

374
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:37,823
THAT WASHINGTON STATE WILL HAVE 

375
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:39,691
TO SHOULDER $90 MILLION IN 

376
00:17:39,691 --> 00:17:42,795
COSTS, AND A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT 

377
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:48,467
TO STATES THERE. YOU KNOW, 

378
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:50,502
SPECIFICALLY , REDUCTION IN 

379
00:17:50,502 --> 00:17:53,405
BENEFITS , A FAMILY OF FOUR 

380
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:56,375
COULD POTENTIALLY SEE $975 DOWN 

381
00:17:56,375 --> 00:18:03,348
TO $840, THAT IS A PRETTY 

382
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:04,950
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER FOR FAMILIES 

383
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:06,285
ACROSS WASHINGTON AND IN THE 

384
00:18:06,285 --> 00:18:08,821
CITY . ALONG WITH THAT , 

385
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:11,790
EXPANDED WORK REQUIREMENTS. A 

386
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:16,995
REDUCTION IN S.N.A.P. ED, NOT A 

387
00:18:16,995 --> 00:18:18,730
REDUCTION BUT ELIMINATION OF 

388
00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:23,068
S.N.A.P. ED, KEY TO THE WORK OSC

389
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:27,105
AND HSD DOES. JUST THROUGH THE 

390
00:18:27,105 --> 00:18:29,441
DECREASE IN INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE

391
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:32,744
COULD MEAN THAT THE SCHOOLS AS A

392
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:36,014
WHOLE COULD BE LESS ELIGIBLE FOR

393
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:39,418
THOSE MEALS. ALONG WITH THIS , 

394
00:18:39,418 --> 00:18:42,254
EDUCATION WISE , THAT PROGRAM 

395
00:18:42,254 --> 00:18:45,991
HAS 16 DIFFERENT ENTITIES ACROSS

396
00:18:45,991 --> 00:18:47,226
KING COUNTY THAT PROVIDE 

397
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:50,762
RESOURCES ON EDUCATION AROUND 

398
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:55,000
FOOD AND HEALTH. SO, GENERALLY, 

399
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,738
WE WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS WILL 

400
00:18:59,738 --> 00:19:02,674
CAUSE A STRAIN ON THE SYSTEM . 

401
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:04,209
IF PEOPLE ARE NOT RECEIVING FOOD

402
00:19:04,209 --> 00:19:06,512
VOUCHERS , WITH HEALTH 

403
00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:07,513
INSURANCE, WE COULD SEE ISSUES 

404
00:19:07,513 --> 00:19:11,150
ACROSS THE BOARD. JUST WANT TO 

405
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:13,519
POINT THAT OUT AS WE ARE 

406
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,288
THINKING ABOUT THE YEARS TO COME

407
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:20,959
AND STRAIN ON OUR CONSTITUENTS. 

408
00:19:20,959 --> 00:19:22,628
WE WILL BE IN THE CONVERSATION 

409
00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:24,663
WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE COUNTY 

410
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:28,233
AND STATE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND 

411
00:19:28,233 --> 00:19:31,803

FINANCIALLY IRRESPONSIBLE , BUT 

492
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:19,397

WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS 

538
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,610
PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD 

539
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:14,312
FUND TREATMENT MORE EXPENSIVELY 

540
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:17,616

A GOOD IDEA .

551
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:49,548
WILL CONTINUE THINKING ABOUT 

552
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,483
THAT AND CREATIVE WAYS , PEOPLE 

553
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:54,753
ARE THINKING THROUGH HOW WE 

554
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:56,454
COULD DO IT IN A VOLUNTEER 

555
00:25:56,454 --> 00:25:58,156
CAPACITY. WOULD LOVE TO HAVE 

556
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,524

562
00:26:17,509 --> 00:26:18,910

00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:20,178
YOU FOR THIS THOROUGH 

564
00:26:20,178 --> 00:26:22,013
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THESE 

565
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:23,648
CUTS AND CHANGES MEAN FOR OUR 

566
00:26:23,648 --> 00:26:27,986
NEIGHBORS. I AM WONDERING , IF 

567
00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:29,354
THERE IS DIRECT INTERACTION WITH

568
00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:33,358
THE AREA AGENCY FOR AGING WITHIN

569
00:26:33,358 --> 00:26:37,429
HSD? THE AREA AGENCY IS 

570
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:40,065
SOMETHING THAT IS OVERSEEN BY 

571
00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:41,433
THE CITY OF SEATTLE BUT 

572
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,702
TYPICALLY A FEDERAL RESOURCE . 

573
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:46,171
ARE THERE ANY OF THESE CHANGES 

574
00:26:46,171 --> 00:26:47,772
THAT IMPACT THAT BODY OF WORK? 

575
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:51,609
>> YES, I HAVE BEEN IN EARLY 

576
00:26:51,609 --> 00:26:54,546
CONVERSATIONS WITH HSD, THEY 

577
00:26:54,546 --> 00:26:58,350
WILL NEED MORE TIME TO REALLY GO

578
00:26:58,350 --> 00:27:00,185
THROUGH THE MEDICAID IMPACTS. WE

579
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:02,754
HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT THROUGH AND

580
00:27:02,754 --> 00:27:05,624
TALKED ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THE 

581
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:09,227
ELDERS. CHANGES AROUND MEDICARE 

582
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:15,767
AS WELL. YES, NOT FULLY PREPARED

583
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:17,435
TO ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW. BUT 

584
00:27:17,435 --> 00:27:21,706
HAPPY TO WORK WITH HSD ON THAT 

585
00:27:21,706 --> 00:27:23,742
FRONT AS WE UNDERSTAND HOW THAT 

586
00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:27,379
WILL IMPACT US. YES, IT WILL 

587
00:27:27,379 --> 00:27:29,014
FLOW THROUGH THE COUNTY ON THAT 

588
00:27:29,014 --> 00:27:29,247
FRONT. 

589
00:27:29,247 --> 00:27:32,917
>> WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT THE 

590
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:36,154
IMPACT TO SENIORS AND WE WOULD 

591
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:37,555
LIKE TO CONTINUE THAT 

592
00:27:37,555 --> 00:27:40,625
CONVERSATION. AND, ALSO, DO WE 

593
00:27:40,625 --> 00:27:46,197
HAVE A SENSE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

594
00:27:46,197 --> 00:27:46,865
OUR DISABILITY JUSTICE PARTNERS,

595
00:27:46,865 --> 00:27:47,966
ADDITIONAL WORK REQUIREMENTS PUT

596
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:49,100
IN PLACE, I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE

597
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:49,934
EXCEPTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN HEALTH 

598
00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:53,004
CONDITIONS AND DISABILITY, BUT 

599
00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:54,039
DO WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING 

600
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:55,607
ABOUT WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE 

601
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:56,875
AND IF THERE ARE CONCERNS AND 

602
00:27:56,875 --> 00:27:58,543
WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR DISABLED 

603
00:27:58,543 --> 00:28:05,517
COMMUNITY? 

604
00:28:05,683 --> 00:28:14,793

OF THOSE CHANGES IN ELIGIBILITY.

>> THANK YOU . NOT QUITE A 

612
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:38,616
QUESTION BUT MORE OF A POINT,

618
00:28:52,363 --> 00:28:53,064
IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR 

619
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:54,466
UNDERSTANDING. WITHIN THIS BILL,

620
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:57,635

637
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,476

RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. 

743
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:44,582
THESE CUTS WILL UNDERMINE VITAL 

744
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:45,583
HUMAN SERVICE PROGRAMS AND THE 

745
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:46,317
TWO MORE HOMELESSNESS, FOOD 

746
00:34:46,317 --> 00:34:47,151
INSECURITY, AND PRESSURE ON 

747
00:34:47,151 --> 00:34:48,953
LOCAL PROVIDERS. AS YOU CAN SEE,

748
00:34:48,953 --> 00:34:53,424
THE CHART ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE

749
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:54,625
OF THE SLIDE TALKS ABOUT THE

753
00:34:57,895 --> 00:34:59,530
HOW MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS IN

00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:02,366
SEATTLE ARE GOING TO LOSE ACCESS

755
00:35:02,366 --> 00:35:04,335
TO THOSE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE ,

756
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:09,507
THEY WILL THEN TAKE THAT NEED TO

757
00:35:09,507 --> 00:35:10,541
OUR HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES WILL 

758
00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:11,709
ALSO BE PHASING FUNDING CUTS . 

759
00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:13,945
SO, IT WILL JUST BE BAD ACROSS 

760
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:21,953
THE BOARD. NEXT SLIDE. LOOKING

00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:26,324

SURVEY INFORMATION. THESE WERE 

763
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:30,628
THREE ORGANIZATIONS THAT 

764
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:34,232
ANSWERED THE SURVEY. WHILE THE

00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:44,609
WEEK BOASTED OF SLASHING THE HUD

769
00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:46,077
WORKFORCE BY 26% OF THOSE ARE 

770
00:35:46,077 --> 00:35:47,345
FOLKS THAT ARE AGENCIES RELY ON 

771
00:35:47,345 --> 00:35:50,648
TO GET THE GRANTS. AND THEIR 

772
00:35:50,648 --> 00:35:54,318
PROGRAMS FUNDED. THESE THREE 

773
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:58,723
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS , THE 

774
00:35:58,723 --> 00:35:59,690
FIRST ONE IS A MULTI-SERVICE 

775
00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:00,458
ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN SEATTLE,

776
00:36:00,458 --> 00:36:04,929
9% OF THE $10 MILLION BUDGET IS 

777
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:05,997
INCORRECT, NOT DIRECT FEDERAL 

778
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:06,797
FUNDING, LOSING THAT WOULD MEAN 

779
00:36:06,797 --> 00:36:07,965
CUTTING THEIR NUTRITION 

780
00:36:07,965 --> 00:36:10,368
EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND LOSS OF 

781
00:36:10,368 --> 00:36:12,937
THEIR S.N.A.P. FUNDED EDUCATION.

782
00:36:12,937 --> 00:36:19,343
>> THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT IS 

783
00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:22,980
STILL LOGGED IN AND RETURNING TO

784
00:36:22,980 --> 00:36:27,552
BE VIRTUAL. 

785
00:36:27,552 --> 00:36:30,288
>> OUR SEXUAL ASSAULT 

786
00:36:30,288 --> 00:36:33,591
SERVICENTER IN KING COUNTY, 43% 

787
00:36:33,591 --> 00:36:35,626
OF THE DIRECT AND NON-DIRECT 

788
00:36:35,626 --> 00:36:37,261
FEDERAL FUNDING OF THEIR BUDGET 

789
00:36:37,261 --> 00:36:41,165
IS IN DIRECT AND NONDIRECT 

790
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:42,133
FEDERAL FUNDING, THIS IS SCARY 

791
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:43,668
BECAUSE THE OFFICE OF VIOLENCE 

792
00:36:43,668 --> 00:36:44,936
AGAINST WOMEN, KEY FEDERAL 

793
00:36:44,936 --> 00:36:46,871
PARTNER FOR THE GENDER SERVICE 

794
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:49,340
PROVIDERS IS ANTICIPATING LOSING

795
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:52,843
OVER A QUARTER OF ITS BUDGET. 

796
00:36:52,843 --> 00:36:54,645
THAT MEANS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE 

797
00:36:54,645 --> 00:36:56,414
TO SERVE OVER 2000 SURVIVORS 

798
00:36:56,414 --> 00:36:59,584
ANNUALLY. LASTLY, THE SENIOR 

799
00:36:59,584 --> 00:37:03,087
CENTER IN SOUTH SEATTLE , 85% OF

800
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:06,057
THEIR FUNDING IS IN GOVERNMENT 

801
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:09,393
FUNDS, WHICH MEANS THAT IT IS 

802
00:37:09,393 --> 00:37:10,161
PASSED THROUGH DOLLARS THROUGH 

803
00:37:10,161 --> 00:37:11,162
STATE AND CITY AND COUNTY 

804
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:15,166
PROVIDERS. AND CONTRACTS. IT IS 

805
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:17,868
VERY HARD TO PREPARE FOR A LOSS 

806
00:37:17,868 --> 00:37:19,637
OF THIS TYPE OF FUNDING BECAUSE 

807
00:37:19,637 --> 00:37:21,739
OF THE NATURE OF SOME OF THESE 

808
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:28,045
FUNDS. LOSING THOSE DOLLARS 

809
00:37:28,045 --> 00:37:28,913
WOULD MEAN REDUCING SOCIAL 

810
00:37:28,913 --> 00:37:31,282
SERVICES STAFF AND REDUCING HOT 

811
00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:34,418
FOOD FOR FOOD INSECURE SENIORS. 

812
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:37,521
THESE ARE SOME QUOTES I PULLED 

813
00:37:37,521 --> 00:37:41,425
DIRECTLY FROM OUR SURVEY, 

814
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:42,226
FUNDING RESTRICTIONS ARE ALREADY

00:37:46,063 --> 00:37:46,697
REQUIRED REPORTING COME IN 

817
00:37:46,697 --> 00:37:47,898
FUNDED ACTIVITIES, THAT ARE 

818
00:37:47,898 --> 00:37:49,467
ALLOWABLE, AND RESPONSES TO 

819
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:54,205
GRANT APPLICATIONS . SOME OF 

820
00:37:54,205 --> 00:37:55,139
THESE RESTRICTIONS RANGE FROM 

821
00:37:55,139 --> 00:37:56,040
RESTRICTIONS ON DI LANGUAGE TO

00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,208
FORCING COOPERATION WITH

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT , AND 

824
00:37:58,042 --> 00:37:59,076
EVEN RESTRICTIONS ON

GRANTS . ONE DEVELOPMENT 

828
00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:09,053

00:38:09,053 --> 00:38:09,887
PRIVATE FUNDERS NOT RESTRICTING 

830
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:11,088

831
00:38:11,088 --> 00:38:12,523
IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THIS 

832
00:38:12,523 --> 00:38:15,159
YEAR. THIS IS NOT JUST AFFECTING

833
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:18,195
THE GOVERNMENT GRANTS , IT IS 

834
00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:19,196
ALSO AFFECTING PRIVATE GRANTS 

835
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:29,707
AND PRIVATE FUNDING. I WOULD 

836
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:33,311
LIKE TO SPEND SOME TIME FOCUSING

837
00:38:33,311 --> 00:38:35,246
ON OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS.

838
00:38:35,246 --> 00:38:37,081
THE DATA FROM THE NEXT LIGHT WAS

839
00:38:37,081 --> 00:38:38,115
GATHERING CORRELATION WITH THE

00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:50,161
PERCENT OF THE REVENUE THEY RELY

847
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:54,365
ON THE COMES FROM MEDICAID . AS 

848
00:38:54,365 --> 00:38:56,033
YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A RANGE OF

849
00:38:56,033 --> 00:38:56,767
NUMBERS AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND 

850
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:57,802

00:38:57,802 --> 00:38:58,769
KING COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, TO 

852
00:38:58,769 --> 00:39:03,274
77% OF THE HEALTH POINT. WHICH

LOCATIONS. A FEW KEY POINTS TO 

855
00:39:12,717 --> 00:39:15,886
EMPHASIZE ON THE SLIDE, ONE, 

856
00:39:15,886 --> 00:39:19,724
SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW, 80% OF

857
00:39:19,724 --> 00:39:20,725
THE CITY OF SEATTLE'S 

858
00:39:20,725 --> 00:39:21,759
POPULATION RELIES ON COMMUNITY 

859
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:24,028
HEALTH CENTERS FOR PRIMARY AND 

860
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:27,498
PREVENTATIVE CARE AS WE SAW 

861
00:39:27,498 --> 00:39:29,066
PREVIOUSLY, IF 77% OF THAT 

862
00:39:29,066 --> 00:39:32,937
INCOME AND THE REVENUE AND 

863
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:34,371
ABILITY TO STAY OPEN RELIES ON 

864
00:39:34,371 --> 00:39:35,172
MEDICAID, LOSING THAT COVERAGE 

865
00:39:35,172 --> 00:39:37,007
WITH ONE THIRD OF CURRENT 

866
00:39:37,007 --> 00:39:39,009
ENROLLEES LOSING THE COVERAGE , 

867
00:39:39,009 --> 00:39:40,277
THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING TO OUR 

868
00:39:40,277 --> 00:39:46,751
COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS. 

869
00:39:46,751 --> 00:39:47,551
COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS ARE 

870
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:48,352
REQUIRED TO SEE EVERYONE 

871
00:39:48,352 --> 00:39:49,587
REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY AND

872
00:39:49,587 --> 00:39:50,387
THIS MODEL IS HIGHLY 

873
00:39:50,387 --> 00:39:51,255
COST-EFFECTIVE BECAUSE IT IS 

874
00:39:51,255 --> 00:39:52,456
UPSTREAM IN INTERVENTIONS THAT 

875
00:39:52,456 --> 00:39:55,059
PROVIDE -- PREVENT COSTLY 

876
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,460
HOSPITAL CARE DOWN THE LINE BY 

877
00:39:56,460 --> 00:40:01,966
KEEPING PEOPLE HEALTHY. LOSING 

878
00:40:01,966 --> 00:40:02,833
MEDICAID COVERAGE WILL NOT 

879
00:40:02,833 --> 00:40:03,834
DECREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS 

880
00:40:03,834 --> 00:40:04,902
SEEKING HELP, IT WILL INSTEAD 

881
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:05,836
PUT FINANCIAL PRESSURE ON THIS 

882
00:40:05,836 --> 00:40:08,873
MEDICAL SAFETY NET , RESULTING 

883
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:10,341
IN WORSE OUTCOMES AND MORE 

884
00:40:10,341 --> 00:40:11,142
MEDICAL DEBT AND INCREASED 

885
00:40:11,142 --> 00:40:13,878
MEDICAL COSTS ACROSS THE BOARD .

886
00:40:13,878 --> 00:40:14,745
WHILE THE CHANGES ARE NOT 

887
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:16,213
SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE UNTIL 

888
00:40:16,213 --> 00:40:19,083
2026 , WE ARE ALREADY SEEING 

889
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:20,117
CHANGES BEING MADE TO INDIVIDUAL

890
00:40:20,117 --> 00:40:21,952
PLANS IMPACTING ACCESS TO CARE. 

891
00:40:21,952 --> 00:40:29,627
THE COMMUNITY , AS A WHOLE, WILL

892
00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:30,594
BE IMPACTED BY FEDERAL CUTS, 

893
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:31,429
REGARDLESS OF WHAT FUNDING 

894
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:32,696
STREAM MAY AFFECT AND CUTS AT 

895
00:40:32,696 --> 00:40:35,299
THE CITY, COUNTY , STATE, AND 

896
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:36,167
PRIVATE FUNDING SOURCES WILL 

897
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:37,134
IMPACT THE OVERALL CAPACITY AND 

898
00:40:37,134 --> 00:40:38,569
RESILIENCE OF THE HUMAN SERVICE 

899
00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:43,207

00:40:43,207 --> 00:40:44,408
CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR AND 

901
00:40:44,408 --> 00:40:45,643
HIS TEAM AND OUR COUNTY AND

PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY FROM THE

00:40:48,512 --> 00:40:51,749
WORST EFFECT OF THESE CUTS.

1100
00:55:41,004 --> 00:55:42,305
TARGETS OF VIOLENCE. IF A FRIEND

1101
00:55:42,305 --> 00:55:43,440

AND GENDER INEQUITY -- AN 

1111
00:55:58,688 --> 00:56:00,990
ANECDOTE TO THE ABUSE OF POWER 

1112
00:56:00,990 --> 00:56:02,759
IS EQUITABLE RELATIONSHIPS AND 

1113
00:56:02,759 --> 00:56:05,428
SHARED POWER. THREE , IT WILL

00:56:56,212 --> 00:57:01,251
OPPOSITION THAT IT WILL BE 

1139
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:02,485

1140
00:57:02,485 --> 00:57:03,286
OUT, OUR MOVEMENT SAID 

1141
00:57:03,286 --> 00:57:04,287
ABSOLUTELY NOT WE SUCCEEDED IN 

1142
00:57:04,287 --> 00:57:07,390
PASSING THE INCLUSIVE ACT WHICH 

1143
00:57:07,390 --> 00:57:08,792
IS THE LAW OF THE LAND TODAY. 

1144
00:57:08,792 --> 00:57:11,094
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST STATUTORY

1145
00:57:11,094 --> 00:57:13,696
REQUIREMENTS IT IS CENTRAL TO 

1146
00:57:13,696 --> 00:57:14,631
OUR MISSIONS AND OUR VALUES. 

1147
00:57:14,631 --> 00:57:18,334
VALUES THAT SAY , SOME SURVIVORS

1148
00:57:18,334 --> 00:57:19,369
HAVE WORSE OUTCOMES AND HIGHER 

1149
00:57:19,369 --> 00:57:20,737
LIKELIHOOD OF ABUSE BECAUSE THE 

1150
00:57:20,737 --> 00:57:23,039

1151
00:57:23,039 --> 00:57:27,143

THEY HEAL FROM THE IMPACTS OF 

1154
00:57:29,712 --> 00:57:32,415
ABUSE . I DECIDED TO SHARE THIS 

1155
00:57:32,415 --> 00:57:33,550
HISTORY WITH YOU TODAY BECAUSE I

1156
00:57:33,550 --> 00:57:35,185
THINK IT ILLUSTRATES THE CORE 

1157
00:57:35,185 --> 00:57:37,387
VALUES OF OUR MOVEMENT AND IT 

1158
00:57:37,387 --> 00:57:40,290
SHOWS A STARK CONTRAST TO WHERE 

1159
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:45,261
WE ARE NOW. WE ARE WITNESSING 

1160
00:57:45,261 --> 00:57:46,396
FUNDAMENTAL ABUSES OF POWER AT

00:57:46,396 --> 00:57:47,263
THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT

1162
00:57:47,263 --> 00:57:48,231
AND THE CORE VALUES AND 

1163
00:57:48,231 --> 00:57:49,566
INTEGRITY OF OUR COLLECTIVE WORK

1164
00:57:49,566 --> 00:57:51,901

1165
00:57:51,901 --> 00:57:53,136

GENDER IDEOLOGY AND EXTREMISM IS

1168
00:57:59,175 --> 00:58:00,143
ESSENTIALLY DESCRIBING 

1169
00:58:00,143 --> 00:58:01,377
PATRIARCHAL VALUES AND 

1170
00:58:01,377 --> 00:58:02,812
ENCOURAGING DISCRIMINATION AND 

1171
00:58:02,812 --> 00:58:05,381

1245
01:00:36,966 --> 01:00:38,001
NORMALLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR BECAUSE

1246
01:00:38,001 --> 01:00:40,103

MAKE THE REQUESTED VACATIONS, 

1257
01:01:02,592 --> 01:01:03,459
THEY WILL EXPOSE THE 

1258
01:01:03,459 --> 01:01:04,727
ORGANIZATIONS TO LEGAL AND 

1259
01:01:04,727 --> 01:01:07,664

WAITING TO HEAR HOW THAT GOES. 

1266
01:01:14,337 --> 01:01:16,572
ALL OF THIS WILL IMPACT THE

SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR LOCAL

01:01:26,149 --> 01:01:31,187
PRETEND TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS 

1273
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:32,221
. EVERY SURVIVOR OF GENDER-BASED

1274
01:01:32,221 --> 01:01:33,289
VIOLENCE FACES UNIQUE RISKS AND 

1275
01:01:33,289 --> 01:01:34,690
SAFETY CONCERNS AS THEY RESIST 

1276
01:01:34,690 --> 01:01:36,859
ABUSE. AND SO TOO ARE WE AS A 

1277
01:01:36,859 --> 01:01:37,527
MOVEMENT AND INDIVIDUAL 

1278
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:38,327
ORGANIZATIONS FACING THESE RISKS

1279
01:01:38,327 --> 01:01:39,896
AND SAFETY CONCERNS RIGHT NOW I 

1280
01:01:39,896 --> 01:01:42,665
BELIEVE GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 

1281
01:01:42,665 --> 01:01:43,766
MOVEMENT SHOULD PLAY A VITAL 

1282
01:01:43,766 --> 01:01:45,001
ROLE IN THIS MOVEMENT. WE KNOW 

1283
01:01:45,001 --> 01:01:48,304
THAT A PRIMARY HARM OF ABUSE IS 

1284
01:01:48,304 --> 01:01:49,472
AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE AWAY AGENCY 

1285
01:01:49,472 --> 01:01:50,306
AND SELF-DETERMINATION WE ALL 

1286
01:01:50,306 --> 01:01:51,808
NEED TO REMEMBER OUR OWN AGENCY 

1287
01:01:51,808 --> 01:01:55,812
RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT THAT WE

1288
01:01:55,812 --> 01:01:57,580
ALWAYS HAVE CHOICES AND WHAT WE 

1289
01:01:57,580 --> 01:01:58,648
DO MATTERS . ABUSE SAYS NOTHING 

1290
01:01:58,648 --> 01:02:01,317
YOU DO MATTERS , YOU ARE SMALL, 

1291
01:02:01,317 --> 01:02:03,553
WE KNOW IT MATTERS AND EMBRACE 

1292
01:02:03,553 --> 01:02:06,989
AN EXPANSIVE VIEW OF GENDER WE 

1293
01:02:06,989 --> 01:02:08,958
KNOW IT MATTERS WHEN WE SAY THAT

1294
01:02:08,958 --> 01:02:14,731
ALL SURVIVORS , REGARDLESS OF 

1295
01:02:14,731 --> 01:02:15,364
IMMIGRATION STATUS, DISABILITY, 

1296
01:02:15,364 --> 01:02:16,132
GENDER IDENTITY, OR SEXUAL 

1297
01:02:16,132 --> 01:02:17,300
ORIENTATION, DESERVE SAFETY AND 

1298
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:18,801
DIGNITY . WE KNOW IT MATTERS 

1299
01:02:18,801 --> 01:02:20,002
WHEN WE MOVED TO THE WORLD 

1300
01:02:20,002 --> 01:02:21,170
STANDING FIRM IN OUR VALUES. AS 

1301
01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:22,405
A COALITION, THIS IS WHAT WE 

1302
01:02:22,405 --> 01:02:24,774
ENDEAVOR TO DO ON BEHALF OF OUR 

1303
01:02:24,774 --> 01:02:27,443
MEMBERSHIP. THIS IS ALSO WHAT WE

1304
01:02:27,443 --> 01:02:30,346
NEED FROM OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 

1305
01:02:30,346 --> 01:02:31,380

1307
01:02:32,381 --> 01:02:33,583
COMMUNITIES AND OUR VALUES ON 

1308
01:02:33,583 --> 01:02:34,951
THE ENCROACHMENT OF ABUSES OF 

1309
01:02:34,951 --> 01:02:37,487
POWER . STRONG AND STABLE AND 

1310
01:02:37,487 --> 01:02:39,922
FAIR REVENUE CAN HELP. IT IS 

1311
01:02:39,922 --> 01:02:43,926

ROLE THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN

1346
01:04:06,809 --> 01:04:10,046

PRESENTATION, HONING IN ON ONE 

1357
01:04:38,374 --> 01:04:41,811
POINT YOU RAISED, WASHINGTON IS 

1358
01:04:41,811 --> 01:04:45,014
AT A HIGHER PREVALENCE THAN THE 

1359
01:04:45,014 --> 01:04:46,349
NATIONAL AVERAGE OF DOMESTIC 

1360
01:04:46,349 --> 01:04:48,951
VIOLENCE DID I HEAR THAT 

1361
01:04:48,951 --> 01:04:49,919
CORRECTLY AND COULD YOU EXPAND? 

1362
01:04:49,919 --> 01:04:54,190
>> YES , AS SOME OF THE WORK, 

1363
01:04:54,190 --> 01:04:57,226
THAT IS CORRECT, SOME OF THE 

1364
01:04:57,226 --> 01:04:59,695
WORK THAT OUR STATEWIDE 

1365
01:04:59,695 --> 01:05:01,097
COALITION WAS DOING TO PROTECT 

1366
01:05:01,097 --> 01:05:02,732
THE VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT FUNDING

1367
01:05:02,732 --> 01:05:03,833
, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT 

1368
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:06,269
EMERGED ON THE ADVOCACY EFFORTS,

1369
01:05:06,269 --> 01:05:08,604
THE HIGHER RATE STATEWIDE OF 

1370
01:05:08,604 --> 01:05:10,806
PREVALENCE AND THE NEED FOR 

1371
01:05:10,806 --> 01:05:11,641
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR VICTIMS 

1372
01:05:11,641 --> 01:05:13,843
OF CRIME AND GENDER-BASED 

1373
01:05:13,843 --> 01:05:17,747
VIOLENCE AND WHY IT IS SO STARK,

1374
01:05:17,747 --> 01:05:19,248
WE HAVE SEEN SUCH SIGNIFICANT 

1375
01:05:19,248 --> 01:05:23,486
CUTS THROUGH THE VOCA FUNDS 

1376
01:05:23,486 --> 01:05:28,724
BEING REDUCED. I AM HAPPY TO 

1377
01:05:28,724 --> 01:05:29,959
FOLLOW UP WITH MORE THROUGHOUT 

1378
01:05:29,959 --> 01:05:30,359
STATE COALITION. 

1379
01:05:30,359 --> 01:05:31,594
>> I AM CURIOUS THE NUMBERS 

1380
01:05:31,594 --> 01:05:37,133
ATTACHED TO THOSE . DO YOU HAVE 

1381
01:05:37,133 --> 01:05:37,366
THOSE? 

1382
01:05:37,366 --> 01:05:39,268
>> I DO NOT BUT I AM HAPPY TO

01:05:39,268 --> 01:05:40,503

1384
01:05:40,503 --> 01:05:40,936
THEM. 

1385
01:05:40,936 --> 01:05:42,571
>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO KNOW .

1386
01:05:42,571 --> 01:05:44,940
I HAVE TWO OTHER POINTS. A BROAD

1387
01:05:44,940 --> 01:05:48,611
COMMENTARY, HAVING WORKED IN THE

1388
01:05:48,611 --> 01:05:50,046
HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE SYSTEM AND

1389
01:05:50,046 --> 01:05:51,681
THE CLEAR INTERSECTION OF WORK 

1390
01:05:51,681 --> 01:05:54,116
AROUND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND

1391
01:05:54,116 --> 01:05:56,185
PEOPLE ACTIVELY FLEEING IN A 

1392
01:05:56,185 --> 01:05:59,255
NUMBER OF CASES, LEADING TO LOOK

1393
01:05:59,255 --> 01:06:02,825
TO HOMELESSNESS . I HAVE COME TO

1394
01:06:02,825 --> 01:06:06,295
UNDERSTAND , OF COURSE, THE 

1395
01:06:06,295 --> 01:06:08,965
CONCERN THAT , AS WE CUT SOCIAL 

1396
01:06:08,965 --> 01:06:10,566
SERVICES, THIS FURTHER EMPOWERS 

1397
01:06:10,566 --> 01:06:14,537
ABUSERS OR THOSE CAUSING HARM , 

1398
01:06:14,537 --> 01:06:16,105
MAKING IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO 

1399
01:06:16,105 --> 01:06:17,707
LEAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION . 

1400
01:06:17,707 --> 01:06:25,314
HOW HAVE YOU , AS WORKING IN 

1401
01:06:25,314 --> 01:06:26,615
THIS BODY OF WORK, HOW HAVE YOU 

1402
01:06:26,615 --> 01:06:27,750
COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT DYNAMIC 

1403
01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:28,884
AND DO WE HAVE DATA THAT 

1404
01:06:28,884 --> 01:06:29,685
SIGNIFIES HOW ECONOMIC DOWNTURN 

1405
01:06:29,685 --> 01:06:32,421
IT CAN LEAD TO SUBSEQUENT 

1406
01:06:32,421 --> 01:06:33,522
SITUATIONS OF GENDER-BASED 

1407
01:06:33,522 --> 01:06:41,897
VIOLENCE ? WHAT KIND OF DATA DO 

1408
01:06:41,897 --> 01:06:43,165
WE HAVE OR IS THERE A 

1409
01:06:43,165 --> 01:06:43,966
CORRELATION YOU CAN SHARE? 

1410
01:06:43,966 --> 01:06:45,134
>> SUCH A GREAT QUESTION, THANK 

1411
01:06:45,134 --> 01:06:47,169
YOU, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK . A TON

1412
01:06:47,169 --> 01:06:51,040
OF DATA THAT SHOWS HOMELESSNESS 

1413
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,475
IS THE GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IS 

1414
01:06:52,475 --> 01:06:53,442
A LEADING CAUSE OF HOMELESSNESS 

1415
01:06:53,442 --> 01:06:54,210
AMONG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. 

1416
01:06:54,210 --> 01:06:56,045
WOMEN THAT ARE FLEEING ABUSE. WE

1417
01:06:56,045 --> 01:07:00,783
KNOW THAT ANYTHING THAT IS IN 

1418
01:07:00,783 --> 01:07:02,785
THE FOUNDATION, IN CONDITIONS 

1419
01:07:02,785 --> 01:07:04,754
THAT SURVIVORS ARE NAVIGATING , 

1420
01:07:04,754 --> 01:07:06,822
THE SYSTEM OF DEPRESSION , 

1421
01:07:06,822 --> 01:07:09,492
ECONOMIC INJUSTICE , POVERTY , 

1422
01:07:09,492 --> 01:07:11,227
WE KNOW SO MANY OF THOSE THINGS 

1423
01:07:11,227 --> 01:07:14,296
ARE POWER IMBALANCES THAT ARE 

1424
01:07:14,296 --> 01:07:16,432
REFLECTED IN OUR SOCIETY , THOSE

1425
01:07:16,432 --> 01:07:17,633
POWER IMBALANCES ARE THE EXACT 

1426
01:07:17,633 --> 01:07:18,401
THINGS THAT FOLKS WHO ARE 

1427
01:07:18,401 --> 01:07:20,403
ABUSIVE OR CAUSING HARM, THEY 

1428
01:07:20,403 --> 01:07:23,506
CAN USE AND LEVERAGE THAT POWER 

1429
01:07:23,506 --> 01:07:25,107
IMBALANCE TO CONTINUE TO FURTHER

1430
01:07:25,107 --> 01:07:30,579
HARM PEOPLE. ANY KIND OF LACK OF

1431
01:07:30,579 --> 01:07:32,648
ACCESS TO RESOURCES, WHEN 

1432
01:07:32,648 --> 01:07:35,618
SURVIVORS ARE STRUGGLING, TO PAY

1433
01:07:35,618 --> 01:07:38,320
BILLS THE STRUGGLING TO MEET THE

1434
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:43,392
BASIC NEEDS, THAT MEANS -- THAT 

1435
01:07:43,392 --> 01:07:44,794
MAKES IT ALL THE MORE EASIER TO 

1436
01:07:44,794 --> 01:07:46,028
EXPLOIT THEM OR HAVE POWER OVER 

1437
01:07:46,028 --> 01:07:47,363
THEM. THERE IS SOME HELPFUL DATA

1438
01:07:47,363 --> 01:07:49,265
ON A LOT OF THESE AREAS AROUND 

1439
01:07:49,265 --> 01:07:51,000
THE ABILITY TO FINANCIAL 

1440
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,569
EMPOWERMENT AND THE NEED FOR 

1441
01:07:53,569 --> 01:07:57,006
STABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES. THE 

1442
01:07:57,006 --> 01:07:58,441
ECONOMIC ISSUES YOU ARE POINTING

1443
01:07:58,441 --> 01:08:03,145
TO , THROUGH MUCH OF THE HOUSING

1444
01:08:03,145 --> 01:08:04,380
FIRST DATA, THAT SPEAKS TO THE 

1445
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:05,147
INTERSECTION OF HOMELESSNESS AND

1446
01:08:05,147 --> 01:08:05,948
HOUSING, AND SURVIVORS OF 

1447
01:08:05,948 --> 01:08:08,784
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. THAT IS 

1448
01:08:08,784 --> 01:08:11,821
MEANINGFUL DATA , AND RESEARCH 

1449
01:08:11,821 --> 01:08:12,855
THAT HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON

2023 AND 2024, THOUGH 

1546
01:11:45,334 --> 01:11:45,934
SIGNIFICANT INCREASES WERE 

1547
01:11:45,934 --> 01:11:48,704
PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY HOUSEHOLDS 

1548
01:11:48,704 --> 01:11:50,039
SEEKING ASSISTANCE TO OUR 

1549
01:11:50,039 --> 01:11:54,343

BUSIER, 10% BUSIER THAN LAST 

1551
01:11:55,277 --> 01:11:56,679
YEAR BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING 

1552
01:11:56,679 --> 01:11:57,780
INSTEAD IS THE INCREASING NUMBER

1553
01:11:57,780 --> 01:11:59,748
OF CURRENT HOUSEHOLDS VISITING 

1554
01:11:59,748 --> 01:12:02,184

1555
01:12:02,184 --> 01:12:03,819
ABOUT THE DEPTH OF THEIR NEED 

1556
01:12:03,819 --> 01:12:06,255
INCREASING. OR AS AN AVERAGE 

1557
01:12:06,255 --> 01:12:07,756
MONTH OF SERVICE IS SOMETIMES 

1558
01:12:07,756 --> 01:12:10,793

BEYOND WHAT WE EXPERIENCED 

1564
01:12:24,606 --> 01:12:27,576
DURING THE PANDEMIC. OUR FOOD 

1565
01:12:27,576 --> 01:12:29,211
SUPPLY IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH 

1566
01:12:29,211 --> 01:12:31,814
THIS INCREASE IN DEMAND. 50% OF 

1567
01:12:31,814 --> 01:12:33,882
OUR FOOD WE DISTRIBUTE IS 

1568
01:12:33,882 --> 01:12:36,485
DONATED . OUR PRIMARY SOURCE IS 

1569
01:12:36,485 --> 01:12:41,690
FOOD LIFELINE AND THROUGH OUR 

1570
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:42,291
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH 

1571
01:12:42,291 --> 01:12:43,092
LOCAL BUSINESSES LIKE GROCERY 

1572
01:12:43,092 --> 01:12:47,129
STORES. 50% IS PURCHASED . WE 

1573
01:12:47,129 --> 01:12:48,297
SPENT $1.6 MILLION PURCHASING 

1574
01:12:48,297 --> 01:12:49,865
FOOD LAST YEAR TO MEET THE NEEDS

1575
01:12:49,865 --> 01:12:52,234
OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR DONATED 

1576
01:12:52,234 --> 01:12:54,970
FOOD SUPPLY IS FLAT AT BEST AS 

1577
01:12:54,970 --> 01:12:57,773
WE LOOK AT THINGS . WHEN WE 

1578
01:12:57,773 --> 01:12:59,241
THINK ABOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF 

1579
01:12:59,241 --> 01:13:02,277
AI INTO THE GROCERY STORE 

1580
01:13:02,277 --> 01:13:05,347
CHAINS, AND THE RISING WHOLESALE

1581
01:13:05,347 --> 01:13:06,381
FOOD PRICES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 

1582
01:13:06,381 --> 01:13:12,454
DURING THE PANDEMIC. THINGS IN 

1583
01:13:12,454 --> 01:13:13,255
THE GROCERY BUSINESS ARE 

1584
01:13:13,255 --> 01:13:14,723
DIFFICULT AND WE SEE A FLAT OR 

1585
01:13:14,723 --> 01:13:15,491
DECLINING SUPPLY FROM THOSE 

1586
01:13:15,491 --> 01:13:16,959
GROCERY STORE HARDSHIPS. AS A 

1587
01:13:16,959 --> 01:13:18,794
RESULT, OUR PURCHASED FOOD HAS 

1588
01:13:18,794 --> 01:13:22,197
BECOME MORE IMPORTANT. I 

1589
01:13:22,197 --> 01:13:24,032
MENTIONED THE INCREASE IN FOOD 

1590
01:13:24,032 --> 01:13:26,702
SUPPLY COSTS , WE HAVE SEEN 

1591
01:13:26,702 --> 01:13:28,103
ABOUT A 30% INCREASE IN THE FOOD

1592
01:13:28,103 --> 01:13:29,538
COSTS SINCE THE PANDEMIC. JUST 

1593
01:13:29,538 --> 01:13:30,606
THROUGH INFLATION IN ADDITION TO

1594
01:13:30,606 --> 01:13:32,307
NEEDING TO PURCHASE MORE TO FILL

1595
01:13:32,307 --> 01:13:37,713
THE SHELVES. EGGS ARE A GREAT 

1596
01:13:37,713 --> 01:13:40,249
EXAMPLE, IT HAS GONE FROM A 

1597
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:44,052
REGULAR PURCHASED ITEM TO A 

1598
01:13:44,052 --> 01:13:44,787
SOMETIMES ITEM WITH SIGNIFICANT 

1599
01:13:44,787 --> 01:13:46,355
SPIKES AND INCREASES OVER THE 

1600
01:13:46,355 --> 01:13:48,590
WINTER PRICES MORE THAN 

1601
01:13:48,590 --> 01:13:50,325
QUADRUPLED . THEY HAVE COME DOWN

1602
01:13:50,325 --> 01:13:55,798

FOR ME, WE HAVE SEEN THAT 

1628
01:14:59,127 --> 01:15:00,195
STATISTIC MORE THAN DOUBLED IN 

1629
01:15:00,195 --> 01:15:02,798
THE LAST 10 YEARS, BOTH FAMILIES

1630
01:15:02,798 --> 01:15:05,367

TWO THIRDS OF THOSE RECOGNIZED

THEIR HOURS ARE NOT STABLE , AS 

1639
01:15:30,659 --> 01:15:31,827
WE LOOK AT THE INCREASING WORK 

1640
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:33,428
REQUIREMENTS WE ARE SEEING IN 

1641
01:15:33,428 --> 01:15:36,565

A GAP BUT IT WILL BE MADE MORE 

1648
01:15:52,014 --> 01:15:53,515
DIFFICULT BY THE ACTIONS OF THE 

1649

1651
01:15:57,185 --> 01:16:00,689
THEIR FOOD FROM THE FOOD BANK. 

1652
01:16:00,689 --> 01:16:02,257
AS WE THINK ABOUT THE FOOD 

1653
01:16:02,257 --> 01:16:04,526

1654
01:16:04,526 --> 01:16:06,561

SCARY PIECE OF INFORMATION. AS 

1656

01:16:39,227 --> 01:16:44,733
ABOUT $4.2 MILLION OF LOST FOOD 

1669
01:16:44,733 --> 01:16:45,500
COMING INTO THE COUNTY THAT 

1670
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:50,038

FOOD BANKS. IF WE TRY TO

ESTIMATE AS BEST AS WE CAN , 

1673
01:16:53,675 --> 01:16:56,745

THEY VISIT A PANTRY. THAT IS 

1680
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,631
FOOD WE WILL NOT BE RECEIVING 

1681
01:17:15,631 --> 01:17:16,798
FOR THE PROGRAM. AS WE THINK 

1682
01:17:16,798 --> 01:17:18,400
ABOUT THE POLICY IMPACT OF THE 

1683
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,302
ADMINISTRATION'S ONE BIG 

1684
01:17:20,302 --> 01:17:23,939
BEAUTIFUL BILL , ONE THING I 

1685
01:17:23,939 --> 01:17:25,807
WOULD WANT TO POINT OUT, IF YOU 

1686
01:17:25,807 --> 01:17:27,242
HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO READ 

1687
01:17:27,242 --> 01:17:32,447
THE GUEST ESSAY BY TRACY KIDDER 

1688
01:17:32,447 --> 01:17:34,316

URGE YOU TO READ IT, ENTITLED "A

CONTEXT OF OUR CURRENT POLICY BY

1693
01:17:41,957 --> 01:17:44,292
THE FEDS. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT 

1694
01:17:44,292 --> 01:17:47,529
THE IMPACT OF THIS BILL , THERE 

1695
01:17:47,529 --> 01:17:48,697
ARE TWO NUMBERS RELATED TO 

1696
01:17:48,697 --> 01:17:50,165

SECOND, FOR EVERY ONE MEAL

1710

1714

OR REALISTICALLY TRADED OFF . 

1715
01:18:34,710 --> 01:18:36,011
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY 

1716
01:18:36,011 --> 01:18:37,412
THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE WITH 

1717
01:18:37,412 --> 01:18:39,247
OUR CUSTOMERS , THINKING ABOUT 

1718
01:18:39,247 --> 01:18:40,315
HOW YOU BALANCE THE NEED TO 

1719
01:18:40,315 --> 01:18:41,349
REPAIR YOUR AUTOMOBILE SO THAT 

1720
01:18:41,349 --> 01:18:42,784
YOU CAN HOLD ONTO A PART-TIME 

1721
01:18:42,784 --> 01:18:44,986
JOB AGAINST THE NEED TO PAY FOR 

1722
01:18:44,986 --> 01:18:46,421
MEDICINE , OR PURCHASE NEW 

1723
01:18:46,421 --> 01:18:48,623
CLOTHES FOR YOUR KIDS. WITH 

1724
01:18:48,623 --> 01:18:51,259
S.N.A.P. , THERE IS TIME FOR US 

1725
01:18:51,259 --> 01:18:53,562
TO CONSIDER IMMEDIATELY, OCTOBER

1726
01:18:53,562 --> 01:19:00,235
1st 2026 OCTOBER 1st, 2027 . 

1727
01:19:00,235 --> 01:19:01,236
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE STILL WAITING 

1728
01:19:01,236 --> 01:19:04,072
ON USDA GUIDANCE TO UNDERSTAND 

1729
01:19:04,072 --> 01:19:06,508
HOW EVERYTHING WILL PLAY OUT. 

1730
01:19:06,508 --> 01:19:09,311
WHEN THAT IS RELEASED, I THINK A

1731
01:19:09,311 --> 01:19:11,780
SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS 

1732
01:19:11,780 --> 01:19:13,682
WILL BE SET INTO MOTION IN 

1733
01:19:13,682 --> 01:19:16,084
IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE THINKING 

1734
01:19:16,084 --> 01:19:17,919
ABOUT THE IMPACT OF WORK 

1735
01:19:17,919 --> 01:19:22,424
REQUIREMENTS AND TIME LIMITS , 

1736
01:19:22,424 --> 01:19:23,158
INCREASED RESTRICTIONS ON 

1737
01:19:23,158 --> 01:19:26,595
PARTICIPATION IN S.N.A.P. THE 

1738
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:28,430
REDUCTION IN S.N.A.P. AND IF 

1739
01:19:28,430 --> 01:19:31,399
IT'S IN OCTOBER, THAT IS ONE 

1740
01:19:31,399 --> 01:19:34,936
POINT, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE 

1741
01:19:34,936 --> 01:19:36,138
WORK REQUIREMENTS , RAISING OF 

1742
01:19:36,138 --> 01:19:39,541
THE AGE THROUGH 64, SO MANY OF 

1743
01:19:39,541 --> 01:19:40,642
OUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY REPORT 

1744
01:19:40,642 --> 01:19:44,479
DIFFICULTY IN BOTH FINDING JOBS 

1745
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:47,382
, AND KEEPING STEADY NUMBER OF 

1746
01:19:47,382 --> 01:19:50,452
HOURS EACH WEEK. IF YOU ARE NOT 

1747
01:19:50,452 --> 01:19:52,787
RECEIVING STABLE WORK, DIFFICULT

1748
01:19:52,787 --> 01:19:56,124
TO MEET THE WORK REQUIREMENTS 

1749
01:19:56,124 --> 01:19:57,492
AND THAT IS AN EXTRA BURDEN 

1750
01:19:57,492 --> 01:19:58,693
PLACED ON PARTICIPANTS IN 

1751
01:19:58,693 --> 01:20:02,998
SEATTLE. EXEMPTIONS FOR VETS, 

1752
01:20:02,998 --> 01:20:06,101
AND FORMER FOSTER YOUTH ARE 

1753
01:20:06,101 --> 01:20:07,736
BEING ELIMINATED AS FAR AS 

1754
01:20:07,736 --> 01:20:08,970
PARTICIPATION IN S.N.A.P. , 

1755
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:11,072
CHANGES THAT WILL INCREASE THE 

1756
01:20:11,072 --> 01:20:13,742
BURDEN FOR PARTICIPANTS AND 

1757
01:20:13,742 --> 01:20:15,310
INCREASED THE ADMINISTRATIVE 

1758
01:20:15,310 --> 01:20:20,015
RISK . FINALLY , THINKING ABOUT 

1759
01:20:20,015 --> 01:20:22,717
THE THRIFTY FOOD PLAN , THE 

1760
01:20:22,717 --> 01:20:23,485
BASIS FOR BENEFITS GOING 

1761
01:20:23,485 --> 01:20:25,487
FORWARD, NOT ONLY THE 

1762
01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:26,688
ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING TO 

1763
01:20:26,688 --> 01:20:28,623
FREEZE HOW THAT BASKET OF GOODS 

1764
01:20:28,623 --> 01:20:30,091
IS CONSIDERED THAT WILL CONTINUE

1765
01:20:30,091 --> 01:20:34,663
TO KEEP BENEFITS LOW. MORE 

1766
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:36,064
ADMINISTRATIVE ROLES MAKE FOR 

1767
01:20:36,064 --> 01:20:38,500
HARDER REPORTING. WHICH LOWERS 

1768
01:20:38,500 --> 01:20:39,367
THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS FOR 

1769
01:20:39,367 --> 01:20:41,403
S.N.A.P. , AND INCREASES THE 

1770
01:20:41,403 --> 01:20:43,672
LIKELIHOOD OF STATE REPORTING 

1771
01:20:43,672 --> 01:20:49,711
ERRORS. OCTOBER 1st , 2026 , THE

1772
01:20:49,711 --> 01:20:50,579
ADMINISTRATIVE COST YEAR FOR 

1773
01:20:50,579 --> 01:20:52,914
S.N.A.P. WILL INCREASE FROM 

1774
01:20:52,914 --> 01:20:55,383
50-50 SHARED WITH THE STATE AND 

1775
01:20:55,383 --> 01:20:57,886
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, TO 75-25 THE

1776
01:20:57,886 --> 01:21:01,890
STATE IS BEARING 75% OF THE 

1777
01:21:01,890 --> 01:21:02,724
ADMINISTRATIVE COST FOR S.N.A.P.

1778
01:21:02,724 --> 01:21:06,728
STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2026 . IF

1779
01:21:06,728 --> 01:21:08,196
A STATE CANNOT AFFORD THAT 

1780
01:21:08,196 --> 01:21:11,867
INCREASE, THE OPPORTUNITY IS TO 

1781
01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:13,335
STEP AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM 

1782
01:21:13,335 --> 01:21:19,608
ENTIRELY. OCTOBER OF 2027 , THE 

1783
01:21:19,608 --> 01:21:20,609
BENEFIT COST SHIFT WILL HAPPEN 

1784
01:21:20,609 --> 01:21:21,610
AT S.N.A.P., WHEREBY STATES WITH

1785
01:21:21,610 --> 01:21:23,178
INCREASED RATES ABOVE 6%, WILL 

1786
01:21:23,178 --> 01:21:28,083
PAY 5% TO 15% OF THE S.N.A.P. 

1787
01:21:28,083 --> 01:21:30,752
COSTS , THE S.N.A.P. ERROR RATES

1788
01:21:30,752 --> 01:21:36,691
ARE WASTE AND FRAUD AND ABUSE , 

1789
01:21:36,691 --> 01:21:38,727
IT IS REALLY ABOUT MAKING THE 

1790
01:21:38,727 --> 01:21:40,662
RULES MORE COMPLEX IN WAYS THAT 

1791
01:21:40,662 --> 01:21:43,498
ALLOW A STATE TO OVERPAID OR 

1792
01:21:43,498 --> 01:21:46,401
UNDERPAID PARTICIPANTS , OR NOT 

1793
01:21:46,401 --> 01:21:48,069
MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS IN A TIMELY

1794
01:21:48,069 --> 01:21:49,738
WAY WHEN WE LOOK AT WASHINGTON 

1795
01:21:49,738 --> 01:21:52,440
STATE , OUR ERROR RATE , LAST 

1796
01:21:52,440 --> 01:21:59,114
YEAR WAS 6.06%, JUST ABOVE THE 

1797
01:21:59,114 --> 01:22:02,250
6% THRESHOLD . IF WE WERE TO GET

1798
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:04,519
A LOOK AT WHAT THE COST WOULD BE

1799
01:22:04,519 --> 01:22:08,390
FOR 5%, $130 MILLION OF 

1800
01:22:08,390 --> 01:22:09,357
ADDITIONAL COSTS OUR STATE WOULD

1801
01:22:09,357 --> 01:22:10,892
BE BURDENED WITH. JUST BECAUSE 

1802
01:22:10,892 --> 01:22:17,332
OF THE .06% EXTRA ERROR RATE, 

1803
01:22:17,332 --> 01:22:19,567
FROM THE 535 PARTICIPATING 

1804

HOUSEHOLDS ON S.N.A.P.. 

1805
01:22:20,602 --> 01:22:24,372
WASHINGTON STATE ALSO HAS A 

1806
01:22:24,372 --> 01:22:25,573
PROGRAM CALLED FOOD ASSISTANCE 

1807
01:22:25,573 --> 01:22:29,044
PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO DO 

1808
01:22:29,044 --> 01:22:31,246
NOT QUITE QUALIFY FOR S.N.A.P. 

1809
01:22:31,246 --> 01:22:32,514
BUT THE STATE THINGS ARE 

1810
01:22:32,514 --> 01:22:33,448
IMPORTANT TO GET THE FOOD 

1811
01:22:33,448 --> 01:22:36,151
BENEFIT. HIS ABILITY TO SUSTAIN 

1812
01:22:36,151 --> 01:22:37,752
THAT PROGRAM WILL BE CALLED INTO

1813
01:22:37,752 --> 01:22:40,121
QUESTION AS WASHINGTON STATE IS 

1814
01:22:40,121 --> 01:22:43,858
ASKED TO BEAR MORE AND MORE OF 

1815
01:22:43,858 --> 01:22:44,626
THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND 

1816
01:22:44,626 --> 01:22:46,227
POTENTIALLY SOME OF THE PROGRAM 

1817
01:22:46,227 --> 01:22:48,096
COSTS. RETURNING TO MY NUMBERS 

1818
01:22:48,096 --> 01:22:51,266

IN THESE MARKETS. WE KNOW THOSE 

1837
01:23:32,741 --> 01:23:33,842
PRODUCERS ARE PRIMARILY MORE 

1838
01:23:33,842 --> 01:23:37,245
IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR .

1839
01:23:37,245 --> 01:23:38,480
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ACTORS IN 

1840
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:42,784
OUR FOOD SYSTEM . WHEN WE THINK 

1841
01:23:42,784 --> 01:23:43,818
ABOUT SOME OF THE DOWNSTREAM 

1842
01:23:43,818 --> 01:23:44,786
IMPACT OF THESE S.N.A.P. CUTS, 

1843

LESS FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR 

1844

PREDICT HOW DEEPLY THOSE CUTS 

1852
01:24:00,034 --> 01:24:03,071
WILL IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE

01:24:07,342 --> 01:24:09,210
OFFER, DURING COVID , WE 

1856
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:11,880
INCREASED S.N.A.P. BENEFITS FROM

MARCH OF 2023 , THOSE BENEFITS 

1859
01:24:17,485 --> 01:24:21,990
EXPANDED -- THOSE EXPANDED 

1860
01:24:21,990 --> 01:24:23,291

1861
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:24,626
ABOUT $90 PER MONTH FOR A PERSON

INCREASE IN BUSINESS JUST THAT 

1867
01:24:36,738 --> 01:24:40,475
MONTH . WE WENT FROM ABOUT $7500

TO 9000 HOUSEHOLDS VISITING US. 

1869

RECORD LEVELS. SHE HIGHLIGHTED 

1871
01:24:51,586 --> 01:24:54,255
S.N.A.P. PRODUCTIONS ARE COMING 

1872
01:24:54,255 --> 01:24:57,725
IN OCTOBER . WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT

1873
01:24:57,725 --> 01:24:58,927
THAT IMMEDIATE IMPACT WILL BE ON

1874
01:24:58,927 --> 01:25:01,996
THE FOOD BANKS , BUT A 

1875
01:25:01,996 --> 01:25:02,764
SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN S.N.A.P. 

1876
01:25:02,764 --> 01:25:04,432
BENEFITS CERTAINLY TRANSLATES TO

1877
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:06,835
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FOOD 

1878
01:25:06,835 --> 01:25:10,271

FURTHER EROSION OF PARTICIPATION

1882
01:25:15,977 --> 01:25:18,213
IN S.N.A.P. AND A FURTHER 

1883
01:25:18,213 --> 01:25:20,648
INCREASE IN FOOD BANK 

1884
01:25:20,648 --> 01:25:22,484
PARTICIPATION. BEYOND DIRECT 

1885
01:25:22,484 --> 01:25:25,920
CUTS, WE THINK THAT, WITH THE 

1886
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:27,355
COMPLICATIONS IN S.N.A.P. , WILL

1887
01:25:27,355 --> 01:25:32,494
LEAD AND SEE MORE PARTICIPANTS 

1888
01:25:32,494 --> 01:25:33,261

HARDER, BOTH FOR CUSTOMERS AND

HAVE LEARNED FROM THE PANDEMIC, 

1904
01:26:04,359 --> 01:26:07,362
WE SAW A DECREASE IN POVERTY AND

1905
01:26:07,362 --> 01:26:08,796
A DECREASE IN CHILDHOOD HUNGER 

1906
01:26:08,796 --> 01:26:12,934
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC. HOW? 

1907
01:26:12,934 --> 01:26:17,338
THROUGH AN INCREASE IN BENEFITS,

THE VERGE OF TEARS SO I'LL KEEP

2015
01:30:48,743 --> 01:30:51,145
THIS BRIEF . WHEN I FIRST GOT TO

THIS BODY AND BEING INTERVIEWED 

2017
01:30:52,180 --> 01:30:54,382
FOR THIS ROLE, I REMEMBER THE 

2018
01:30:54,382 --> 01:30:55,983
QUESTION FROM COUNCILMEMBER 

2019
01:30:55,983 --> 01:30:58,986
RINCK , WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 

2020
01:30:58,986 --> 01:31:01,055

TO DO ? I SAID, THEY CUT US OFF 

2022
01:31:03,724 --> 01:31:07,595
, WE WILL FIND OUR OWN MONEY. I 

2023
01:31:07,595 --> 01:31:09,063
STILL BELIEVE WE NEED TO FIND 

2024
01:31:09,063 --> 01:31:11,532
OUR OWN MONEY TO PROTECT OUR 

2025
01:31:11,532 --> 01:31:15,970
PEOPLE FROM THIS CRUELTY. I DO 

2026
01:31:15,970 --> 01:31:17,772
NOT SEE HOW ANY OF THIS 

2027
01:31:17,772 --> 01:31:21,075
EXPLETIVE IS MAKING AMERICA 

2028
01:31:21,075 --> 01:31:24,512
GREAT. I SEE IT AS MAKING 

2029
01:31:24,512 --> 01:31:26,180
AMERICA HUNGRY , MAKING AMERICA 

2030
01:31:26,180 --> 01:31:29,283
SICK , MAKING AMERICA POOR, I AM

2031
01:31:29,283 --> 01:31:32,787
SORRY, I TOLD YOU I WAS NOT 

2032
01:31:32,787 --> 01:31:34,622
GOING TO GO ON A RANT. THERE IS 

2033
01:31:34,622 --> 01:31:36,858
ONLY SO MANY BUCKETS WE HAVE. 

2034
01:31:36,858 --> 01:31:42,196
THAT WE CAN ACCESS. I SAY , WE 

2035
01:31:42,196 --> 01:31:43,965
NEED TO FIND OUR OWN MONEY. THIS

2036
01:31:43,965 --> 01:31:47,201
IS WHERE I AM THINKING, STATE , 

2037
01:31:47,201 --> 01:31:50,371
WE NEED TO STEP UP. WE NEED AN 

2038
01:31:50,371 --> 01:31:52,273
INCOME TAX AS OPPOSED TO THE 

2039
01:31:52,273 --> 01:31:54,675
REGRESSIVE TAX STRUCTURE WE 

2040
01:31:54,675 --> 01:31:56,077
CURRENTLY HAVE. THAT PUTS THE 

2041
01:31:56,077 --> 01:32:00,248
BURDEN ON PROPERTY OWNERS, WHICH

2042
01:32:00,248 --> 01:32:04,652
PUTS THE BURDEN ON RENTERS, AND 

2043
01:32:04,652 --> 01:32:07,722
THEN ON PEOPLE WHO BUY STUFF, 

2044
01:32:07,722 --> 01:32:09,357
WHO ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTED 

2045
01:32:09,357 --> 01:32:14,428
BECAUSE , YOU KNOW, MY KID, A 

2046
01:32:14,428 --> 01:32:17,865
PART-TIME BARISTA AT STARBUCKS, 

2047
01:32:17,865 --> 01:32:20,501
PAYING A HIGHER PROPORTION OF 

2048
01:32:20,501 --> 01:32:26,340
THEIR INCOME , WHEN THEY ARE 

2049
01:32:26,340 --> 01:32:29,577
BUYING A POUND OF CHICKEN AT 

2050
01:32:29,577 --> 01:32:32,914
SAFEWAY, NO FOOD TAX BUT YOU GET

2051
01:32:32,914 --> 01:32:36,350
THE POINT THEY MAKE $26,000 YEAR

2052
01:32:36,350 --> 01:32:37,485
AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED AS 

2053
01:32:37,485 --> 01:32:38,786
OPPOSED TO SOMEBODY LIKE ME 

2054
01:32:38,786 --> 01:32:40,621
MAKING QUITE A BIT MORE THAN 

2055
01:32:40,621 --> 01:32:45,726
THAT. THIS IS WHY I SAY, WE NEED

2056
01:32:45,726 --> 01:32:47,528
TO COME UP WITH OUR OWN MONEY 

2057
01:32:47,528 --> 01:32:51,165
AND , ON THE STATE LEVEL, WE 

2058
01:32:51,165 --> 01:32:59,941
NEED TO -- WE -- WE JUST -- 

2059
01:32:59,941 --> 01:33:01,776
THERE IS SO MUCH LANGUAGE I WANT

2060
01:33:01,776 --> 01:33:03,210
TO USE BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE THIS

2061
01:33:03,210 --> 01:33:05,179
IS BEING RECORDED. WE NEED TO 

2062
01:33:05,179 --> 01:33:07,815
STEP UP. WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE 

2063
01:33:07,815 --> 01:33:09,650
REALITY THAT WE CANNOT COUNT ON 

2064
01:33:09,650 --> 01:33:11,852
THE FENCE . NOT ONLY ARE THEY 

2065
01:33:11,852 --> 01:33:14,755
CUTTING FUNDING, STRIPPING 

2066
01:33:14,755 --> 01:33:15,556
FUNDING, THEY ARE STRIPPING 

2067
01:33:15,556 --> 01:33:18,426
FUNDING ALREADY ALLOCATED . WE 

2068
01:33:18,426 --> 01:33:19,627
HAVE OUR OWN BUDGET DEFICITS IN 

2069
01:33:19,627 --> 01:33:25,900
THE CITY AND AROUND OUR STATE. 

2070
01:33:25,900 --> 01:33:27,335
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND WE 

2071
01:33:27,335 --> 01:33:29,136
CANNOT KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT. WE

2072
01:33:29,136 --> 01:33:30,705
CANNOT KEEP KICKING THE CAN, WE 

2073
01:33:30,705 --> 01:33:35,076
NEED TO TAKE ACTION BECAUSE 

2074
01:33:35,076 --> 01:33:36,110
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST 

2075
01:33:36,110 --> 01:33:38,512
PROGRAMS, BUT PEOPLE COME 

2076
01:33:38,512 --> 01:33:42,049
INDIVIDUAL LIVES . I CAN GO ON. 

2077
01:33:42,049 --> 01:33:45,820
I WILL STOP THERE. THANK YOU. 

2078
01:33:45,820 --> 01:33:49,023
>> WELL SAID, COUNCILMEMBER 

2079
01:33:49,023 --> 01:33:54,128
SOLOMON AND I AGREE. IT IS 

2080
01:33:54,128 --> 01:33:56,897
REALLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE A 

2081
01:33:56,897 --> 01:33:59,967
COUPLE POINTS I WANT TO RAISE TO

2082
01:33:59,967 --> 01:34:04,138
THIS. I WANT TO START WITH A 

2083
01:34:04,138 --> 01:34:05,506
QUESTION AS A REFRESHER, CAN YOU

2084
01:34:05,506 --> 01:34:08,609
REMIND US WHAT MAKES A HOUSEHOLD

2085
01:34:08,609 --> 01:34:11,379
ELIGIBLE FOR S.N.A.P.? 

2086
01:34:11,379 --> 01:34:16,717
>> I WILL PROFESS TO NOT BEING A

2087
01:34:16,717 --> 01:34:19,787
S.N.A.P. ENROLLMENT EXPERT , AND

2088
01:34:19,787 --> 01:34:20,888
INTERSECTION BETWEEN HOUSEHOLD 

2089
01:34:20,888 --> 01:34:23,190
SIZE, THE AGE OF THE 

2090
01:34:23,190 --> 01:34:25,860
PARTICIPANTS, AND THEIR INCOME. 

2091
01:34:25,860 --> 01:34:28,095
I THINK THAT IS THE BIG MARKER 

2092
01:34:28,095 --> 01:34:30,965
AS TO WHAT THE INCOME OF THE 

2093
01:34:30,965 --> 01:34:31,899
HOUSEHOLD IS RELATIVE TO THE 

2094
01:34:31,899 --> 01:34:35,169
NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS . THAT IS 

2095
01:34:35,169 --> 01:34:37,204
A SKILL THAT JUST CHANGES. THERE

2096
01:34:37,204 --> 01:34:39,907
ARE SOME -- THERE WERE MORE 

2097
01:34:39,907 --> 01:34:41,909
EXEMPTIONS PROVIDED TO FOLKS, WE

2098
01:34:41,909 --> 01:34:44,311
HAVE CHOSEN , THROUGH THIS BILL 

2099
01:34:44,311 --> 01:34:46,047
, TO REMOVE SOME OF THOSE 

2100
01:34:46,047 --> 01:34:49,350
EXEMPTIONS AND MAKE CERTAIN 

2101
01:34:49,350 --> 01:34:51,118
INDIVIDUALS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE, 

2102
01:34:51,118 --> 01:34:53,888
REFUGEES, VICTIMS OF HUMAN 

2103
01:34:53,888 --> 01:34:56,223
TRAFFICKING , THOSE CATEGORIES 

2104
01:34:56,223 --> 01:34:58,459
OF PARTICIPANTS HAD BEEN REMOVED

2105
01:34:58,459 --> 01:34:59,593
. 

2106
01:34:59,593 --> 01:35:03,464
>> I APPRECIATE THAT . I HAVE A 

2107
01:35:03,464 --> 01:35:05,332
COMPUTER IN FRONT OF ME BUT TO 

2108
01:35:05,332 --> 01:35:07,935
PUT THIS IN FRONT OF YOUR MIND ,

2109
01:35:07,935 --> 01:35:09,303
COLLEAGUES, WHEN WE GIVE AN 

2110
01:35:09,303 --> 01:35:11,939
EXAMPLE, HOUSEHOLD GROSS MONTHLY

2111
01:35:11,939 --> 01:35:13,174
INCOME MUST GENERALLY BE AT OR 

2112
01:35:13,174 --> 01:35:14,775
BELOW 130% OF THE FEDERAL 

2113
01:35:14,775 --> 01:35:16,377
POVERTY LINE , FOR A FAMILY OF 

2114
01:35:16,377 --> 01:35:20,414
THREE THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 

2115
01:35:20,414 --> 01:35:23,617
$2800 PER MONTH FOR FISCAL YEAR 

2116
01:35:23,617 --> 01:35:27,021
2025 . I WANTED TO BRING UP ONE 

2117
01:35:27,021 --> 01:35:28,789
EXAMPLE TO WHAT WE ARE TALKING 

2118
01:35:28,789 --> 01:35:31,125
ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 

2119
01:35:31,125 --> 01:35:31,859
S.N.A.P. ELIGIBILITY, HOW MUCH 

2120
01:35:31,859 --> 01:35:33,294
MONTHLY GROSS INCOME , AND IT IS

2121
01:35:33,294 --> 01:35:34,895
NOT A LOT, ESPECIALLY IN THIS 

2122
01:35:34,895 --> 01:35:38,833
TOWN. MOVING ALONG FROM THAT, 

2123
01:35:38,833 --> 01:35:42,570
WITH THE CHANGES WITH THE NEW 

2124
01:35:42,570 --> 01:35:45,639
EXPANDED WORKING REQUIREMENTS, I

2125
01:35:45,639 --> 01:35:48,609
WANT TO DAYLIGHT SOMETHING . ANY

2126
01:35:48,609 --> 01:35:50,945
MEMBER OF THE PANEL , I 

2127
01:35:50,945 --> 01:35:52,179
ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHIME IN ON 

2128
01:35:52,179 --> 01:35:54,381
THIS POINT. UNDERSTANDING THERE 

2129
01:35:54,381 --> 01:35:55,816
ARE NEW WORK REQUIREMENTS BUT 

2130
01:35:55,816 --> 01:35:58,686
SOME EXEMPTIONS BECAUSE OF 

2131
01:35:58,686 --> 01:35:59,687
CAREGIVING OR MEDICAL 

2132
01:35:59,687 --> 01:36:03,791
CONDITIONS, I IMAGINE TO SOME, 

2133
01:36:03,791 --> 01:36:07,761
THAT MAY GIVE A SENSE OF EASE TO

2134
01:36:07,761 --> 01:36:08,629
MEDICAL CONDITIONS BUT WE ARE 

2135
01:36:08,629 --> 01:36:09,463
ALSO TALKING ABOUT MAKING 

2136
01:36:09,463 --> 01:36:10,498
HEALTHCARE IN THE SAME TIME, 

2137
01:36:10,498 --> 01:36:14,502
MUCH MORE INACCESSIBLE AND IT 

2138
01:36:14,502 --> 01:36:15,102
WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY 

2139
01:36:15,102 --> 01:36:15,970
DIFFICULT FOR RESIDENTS AND 

2140
01:36:15,970 --> 01:36:17,371
FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO GET A 

2141
01:36:17,371 --> 01:36:18,572
DIAGNOSIS THAT MAY BE ABLE TO 

2142
01:36:18,572 --> 01:36:20,040
KEEP THEM QUALIFIED FOR THESE 

2143
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,076
PROGRAMS. I WANTED TO OFFER THAT

2144
01:36:22,076 --> 01:36:26,113
CLARIFICATION AND CONCERN , 

2145
01:36:26,113 --> 01:36:27,114
THAT, FOR THESE EXPANDED WORK 

2146
01:36:27,114 --> 01:36:27,915
REQUIREMENTS, EVEN WITH THESE 

2147
01:36:27,915 --> 01:36:29,083
EXCEPTIONS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, 

2148
01:36:29,083 --> 01:36:34,054
ALMOST -- ONLY AS GOOD AS YOU 

2149
01:36:34,054 --> 01:36:35,222
CAN GET AN ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS TO 

2150
01:36:35,222 --> 01:36:36,457
SUPPORT THAT WITH PAPERWORK. ANY

2151
01:36:36,457 --> 01:36:37,258
REACTION TO THAT? 

2152
01:36:37,258 --> 01:36:40,494
>> YES, ONE THING , ANYTHING A 

2153
01:36:40,494 --> 01:36:41,929
TAKE AWAY FROM THIS PANEL 

2154
01:36:41,929 --> 01:36:44,765
SOMETHING THAT ALIGNS WITH WHAT 

2155
01:36:44,765 --> 01:36:46,901
YOU JUST DISCUSSED, THE HUMAN 

2156
01:36:46,901 --> 01:36:48,836
SERVICES SYSTEM IS HOLISTIC. IT 

2157
01:36:48,836 --> 01:36:51,672
IS NOT ABOUT FOOD BANKS , MEAL 

2158
01:36:51,672 --> 01:36:55,109
PROGRAMS , HOMELESSNESS, 

2159
01:36:55,109 --> 01:36:56,410
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE , HEALTH 

2160
01:36:56,410 --> 01:37:02,917
CENTERS IN THEIR BUCKETS, WE 

2161
01:37:02,917 --> 01:37:04,084
CANNOT FUND ONE AREA AT THE 

2162
01:37:04,084 --> 01:37:05,586
EXPENSE OF OTHERS. WE CANNOT 

2163
01:37:05,586 --> 01:37:08,489
PRIORITIZE. AS WE MOVE INTO CITY

2164
01:37:08,489 --> 01:37:12,293
BUDGET SEASON, THAT, YOU KNOW, 

2165
01:37:12,293 --> 01:37:15,229
IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED, WHERE ARE

2166
01:37:15,229 --> 01:37:18,165
THE PRIORITIES ? THE PRIORITY IS

2167
01:37:18,165 --> 01:37:19,700
ALL OF IT, IF YOU DO NOT FUND 

2168
01:37:19,700 --> 01:37:20,935
THE FOOD BANKS OR MEAL PROGRAMS,

2169
01:37:20,935 --> 01:37:23,304
WE WILL HAVE INCREASED 

2170
01:37:23,304 --> 01:37:25,973
HEALTHCARE COSTS . IF YOU DO NOT

2171
01:37:25,973 --> 01:37:27,641
FUND HEALTHCARE , WE WILL HAVE 

2172
01:37:27,641 --> 01:37:29,410
PEOPLE WHO CANNOT WORK AND LOSE 

2173
01:37:29,410 --> 01:37:30,511
THEIR HOMES . NOW WE HAVE 

2174
01:37:30,511 --> 01:37:34,548
HOMELESSNESS AS AN ISSUE . IF 

2175
01:37:34,548 --> 01:37:35,749
YOU HAVE FOLKS ON THE STREETS, 

2176
01:37:35,749 --> 01:37:36,784
YOU HAVE SUBSTANCE USE, EXPOSURE

2177
01:37:36,784 --> 01:37:42,389
TO MORE HEALTH FOR OUTCOMES, ALL

2178
01:37:42,389 --> 01:37:44,625
INTRICATELY LINKED. THERE IS NO 

2179
01:37:44,625 --> 01:37:46,160
WAY TO PRIORITIZE ONE SECTOR 

2180
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,395
OVER ANOTHER , THAT IS SOMETHING

2181
01:37:48,395 --> 01:37:50,397
THAT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY CLEAR

2182
01:37:50,397 --> 01:37:52,833
, IF WE LOSE ONE AGENCY DOES NOT

2183
01:37:52,833 --> 01:37:55,869
MATTER WHAT SECTOR , IF WE LOSE 

2184
01:37:55,869 --> 01:38:00,507
ONE AGENCY IN THE CITY, THE 

2185
01:38:00,507 --> 01:38:01,609
ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL INCREASE THE 

2186
01:38:01,609 --> 01:38:02,743
STRAIN ON THAT SYSTEM AND WE 

2187
01:38:02,743 --> 01:38:04,211
WILL LOSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 

2188
01:38:04,211 --> 01:38:05,546
THEY WILL END UP LOST, AND THAT 

2189
01:38:05,546 --> 01:38:10,084
IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN PUT A 

2190
01:38:10,084 --> 01:38:14,121
DOLLAR AMOUNT ON OR QUANTIFIED. 

2191
01:38:14,121 --> 01:38:15,756
I ENCOURAGE THE APPROACH TO THIS

2192
01:38:15,756 --> 01:38:19,393
WORK TO BE SEEN AS SOMETHING 

2193
01:38:19,393 --> 01:38:22,896
HOLISTIC, HSD MUST BE KEPT 

2194
01:38:22,896 --> 01:38:26,800
WHOLE, INCREASE IN FUNDING MUST 

2195
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:28,168
HAPPEN ACROSS THE BOARD SO WE DO

2196
01:38:28,168 --> 01:38:29,436
NOT LOSE PRECIOUS COMMUNITY 

2197
01:38:29,436 --> 01:38:35,776
MEMBERS. 

2198
01:38:35,776 --> 01:38:41,215
>> I ALMOST WANT TO END IT ON 

2199
01:38:41,215 --> 01:38:45,252
THAT POWERFUL NOTE. I DEEPY -- 

2200
01:38:45,252 --> 01:38:51,492
DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU 

2201
01:38:51,492 --> 01:38:52,226
DO AND PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS 

2202
01:38:52,226 --> 01:38:53,527
THAT COULD NOT BE HERE, THE WORK

2203
01:38:53,527 --> 01:38:54,962
THEY DO EVERY DAY , 

2204
01:38:54,962 --> 01:38:55,829
UNDERSTANDING THE WORKLOAD IS 

2205
01:38:55,829 --> 01:38:56,997
INCREASING, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 

2206
01:38:56,997 --> 01:38:57,831
INCREASING WORKLOAD, MORE OF OUR

2207
01:38:57,831 --> 01:38:59,934
NEIGHBORS ARE IN THE NEED . A 

2208
01:38:59,934 --> 01:39:07,741
HAND FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

2209
01:39:07,741 --> 01:39:07,975
NELSON? 

2210
01:39:07,975 --> 01:39:08,575
>> I AM SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF 

2211
01:39:08,575 --> 01:39:13,480
MID-SENTENCE, IT HELPED ME TO 

2212
01:39:13,480 --> 01:39:14,481
UNDERSTAND THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT

2213
01:39:14,481 --> 01:39:15,516
THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE PROBLEMS 

2214
01:39:15,516 --> 01:39:17,718
WE HAVE STATED TODAY. I WONDER 

2215
01:39:17,718 --> 01:39:19,153
IF THERE IS AN ESTIMATE ON 

2216
01:39:19,153 --> 01:39:22,423
PERCENTAGE OR NUMBERS , 

2217
01:39:22,423 --> 01:39:23,891
PERCENTAGE OF SEATTLE RESIDENTS 

2218
01:39:23,891 --> 01:39:28,195
THAT HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICAID 

2219
01:39:28,195 --> 01:39:30,931
BENEFITS THAT WILL NO LONGER 

2220
01:39:30,931 --> 01:39:32,666
HAVE THEM BECAUSE OF THE NEW 

2221
01:39:32,666 --> 01:39:35,602
REQUIREMENTS, DOES ANYBODY HAVE 

2222
01:39:35,602 --> 01:39:37,971
A BALLPARK ON THAT ESTIMATE? MY 

2223
01:39:37,971 --> 01:39:40,774
SECOND QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE THE

2224
01:39:40,774 --> 01:39:42,509
CHANGES TO THE S.N.A.P. PROGRAM 

2225
01:39:42,509 --> 01:39:47,815
? IS IT IN ELIGIBILITY? FINALLY,

2226
01:39:47,815 --> 01:39:50,084
YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES,

2227

2230
01:39:57,558 --> 01:40:02,262
LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT? 

2231
01:40:02,262 --> 01:40:05,966
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK I 

2232
01:40:05,966 --> 01:40:08,535
GOT THE FIRST ONE WHILE MARISSA 

2233
01:40:08,535 --> 01:40:11,972
LOOKS FOR INFO. DV HOUSING FIRST

2234
01:40:11,972 --> 01:40:14,475
IS A RESEARCH PROJECT THAT 

2235
01:40:14,475 --> 01:40:16,377
WASHINGTON STATE LED AS PART OF 

2236
01:40:16,377 --> 01:40:20,114
OUR WASHINGTON STATE COALITION ,

2237
01:40:20,114 --> 01:40:21,982
MANY LOCAL PROGRAMS ALL ACROSS 

2238
01:40:21,982 --> 01:40:24,785
THE STATE IN SEATTLE 

2239
01:40:24,785 --> 01:40:26,186
PARTICIPATED IN THE RESEARCH 

2240
01:40:26,186 --> 01:40:30,557
STUDY AND IT FOUND THAT , BUT WE

2241
01:40:30,557 --> 01:40:34,595
ALL MAY KNOW, IT FOUND THAT THE 

2242
01:40:34,595 --> 01:40:37,164
MORE WE CAN INCREASE HOUSING 

2243
01:40:37,164 --> 01:40:42,436
STABILITY AND PAIR FINANCIAL 

2244
01:40:42,436 --> 01:40:45,572

ADVOCACY, SURVIVOR DRIVEN 

2246
01:40:46,540 --> 01:40:47,808
ADVOCACY , THAT RELATIONAL 

2247
01:40:47,808 --> 01:40:51,145
CONNECTION IS THE SECRET SAUCE ,

2248
01:40:51,145 --> 01:40:52,546
MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FOR 

2249
01:40:52,546 --> 01:40:56,683
SURVIVORS SAFETY , THEIR ABILITY

2250
01:40:56,683 --> 01:41:00,120
TO STAY HOUSED, SAFELY AND 

2251
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:02,689
STABLY , THAT RESEARCH IS VERY 

2252
01:41:02,689 --> 01:41:04,992
STRONG, VERY LOCAL , MANY 

2253
01:41:04,992 --> 01:41:07,428
PROGRAMS PARTICIPATED IN THAT 

2254
01:41:07,428 --> 01:41:10,097
WITH FUNDING FROM THE BILL AND 

2255
01:41:10,097 --> 01:41:11,632
MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, IT HAS

2256
01:41:11,632 --> 01:41:15,903
SINCE BEEN PROMOTED AND USED FOR

2257
01:41:15,903 --> 01:41:18,872
OTHER STATES IN THE COUNTRY, 

2258
01:41:18,872 --> 01:41:21,475
SEEN AS A MODEL PROTOCOL AND 

2259
01:41:21,475 --> 01:41:25,179
APPROACH FOR GENDER BASED 

2260
01:41:25,179 --> 01:41:27,614
VIOLENCE AND SURVIVORS , BUT 

2261
01:41:27,614 --> 01:41:31,985
ALSO FOR HOUSING AS A CORE NEED 

2262
01:41:31,985 --> 01:41:34,021
TO FOCUS ON HOUSING FIRST, THAN 

2263
01:41:34,021 --> 01:41:36,423
LOOKING AT THE OTHER NEEDS FOLKS

2264
01:41:36,423 --> 01:41:45,165

CATCH IT.
