Snohomish County has put out the call for proposals, hoping to bring better behavioral health facilities to the region. With an estimated $6 million up for grabs, the county is inviting nonprofit and for-profit organizations, local governments, and federally recognized Tribes to review the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Published details specify that the project must be within the county and serve its residents first and foremost.
The funding is split into two pots: $3 million earmarked for Behavioral Health Facilities Capital Funds and another $3 million for Secure Withdrawal Management and Stabilization (SWMS). In a gesture that reflects the critical nature of such facilities, applications are being accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday, August 29, 2025; however, attending an information session is a necessary step before one can apply. These sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, August 12, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and Thursday, August 14, from 10 a.m. to noon. Applicants will have to seek the session details, which are included in the NOFO application materials on the Behavioral Health Facilities Page.
To apply, organizations must send a complete electronic copy, along with all required supporting materials as laid out in the application, to the Office of Housing, Community & Economic Development (OHCD) at [email protected]. If there are any questions or additional information needed, the same email can be used to get in touch with county officials.
The scope of work for the Snohomish County Human Services Department is not slight; it assists people in meeting their basic needs and enhancing their potential through timely, effective human services and the growth of community connections. Housing & Community Services Division anchors various initiatives that offer affordable housing, community development, and relevant services to those who are low-income or experiencing homelessness.
