The Washington State Department of Commerce is making an estimated $625,000 available to eligible organizations to implement the Housing Stability for Youth in Court (H-SYNC) program in Washington. The H-SYNC program is a prevention model designed to identify youth at risk of homelessness within the juvenile court system and refer them and their families to needed prevention, intervention and housing services.

This solicitation will result in a single contract of no more than $625,000 for a lead grantee to subcontract with participating county program sites. A lead grantee is expected to select at least six counties to implement the H-SYNC model, serve as a coordinator of all program sites, and provide oversight, guidance and training.
