Snohomish County is actively seeking proposals to improve behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment capacity through its Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The County's focus is on projects that emphasize capital expenditures, particularly the development of facilities, and aim for widespread geographic service coverage. Furthermore, the County encourages organizations to provide culturally responsive services tailored to communities of color and residents who speak languages other than English. Applications will be accepted until January 27, 2023, and a remote technical assistance session for applicants will be held on December 13, 2022, from 1:00 to 3:00 p. m.

This initiative is part of a larger recovery strategy implemented by Executive Dave Somers, emphasizing efficient and equitable distribution of federal pandemic relief funds. Interested organizations can find more information and submit inquiries via the designated email address. The County's commitment to enhancing behavioral health services reflects an urgent need to address mental health and substance use challenges in the community. By fostering partnerships with local organizations, Snohomish County aims to create a more resilient and supportive environment for all residents.
