Dear Community Partners,

Welcome to the June edition of The Compass Point, the monthly e-newsletter from Compass Health.

May was a busy and exciting month for Compass Health’s Broadway Campus Redevelopment Project:
  • We hosted a virtual grand opening for Phase I, our new supportive housing building.
  • We received $14 million from Washington State’s capital budget to help fund the construction of a new intensive behavioral health services facility, Phase II of the project.

We invite you to read more about both of these major milestones on our website, along with an FAQ detailing answers to many thoughtful questions from those who joined our virtual grand opening.

There’s much more in the rest of this month’s newsletter, and I want to thank you all for your continued support of Compass Health. Happy reading!

Best,

Tom Sebastian

TAKE A TOUR OF OUR NEW SUPPORTIVE HOUSING BUILDING!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the virtual grand opening and celebration for our new supportive housing building! We are honored and excited to share this facility with the community and the individuals who will call it home.

Take a look inside:
We would also like to thank everyone who helped make this building possible: BNBuilders, Lotus Development Partners, Environmental Works, Washington State Department of Commerce, Washington State Housing Finance Commission, National Equity Fund, Snohomish County Human Services, KeyBank, Coastal Community Bank, Impact Capital, Housing Authority of Snohomish County, Washington Department of Social & Health Services, and all of our incredible philanthropic partners.
You can read more about the virtual grand opening in the Everett Herald and on our website.
FAQ & REFERRAL PROCESS FOR NEW HOUSING BUILDING
During our virtual grand opening and celebration for our new supportive housing building, we allowed time for attendees to submit questions regarding the new building or Compass Health’s future plans with the Broadway Campus Redevelopment Project. We received a lot of great questions and have compiled them on our website in a new FAQ section.

One of the most pressing questions is: What are the eligibility requirements to live in the new housing building and how do people apply?
  • Answer: Referrals for available units are primarily made from Snohomish County Coordinated Entry, a central access point which incorporates uniform screening, assessment, and prioritization. The project also includes units sponsored by the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) of DSHS. These units are filled by direct referrals from those agencies who utilize similar uniform screening, assessment, and prioritization as Snohomish County Coordinated Entry. To access Coordinated Entry and be assigned a navigator please contact 2-1-1 (or 800-223-8145) Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. You can also access Coordinated Entry in person by going to the Carnegie Resource Center Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9am-4pm @ 3001 Oakes Ave, Everett WA 98201.
$14 MILLION SECURED FROM STATE BUDGET FOR COMPASS HEALTH'S INTENSIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
Governor Inslee recently approved Washington State’s budget, which allocates $14 million in the state’s capital budget for the design and construction of Compass Health’s new intensive behavioral health facility in Everett!

This new facility is Phase II of our Broadway Campus Redevelopment Project, and will reflect the exceptional quality, sophistication, and respectfulness of our services, and the dignity of those we serve.
ROTARY CLUB OF EVERETT AWARDS OVER $239,000 TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS, INCLUDING COMPASS HEALTH SCHOLARSHIP
In May, the Rotary Club of Everett awarded more than $239,000 to 55 college-bound students during their annual scholarship award night, supporting students from Cascade, Everett, and Sequoia high schools.

Compass Health is proud to partner with the Rotary Club of Everett and offer two scholarships to high school students who are interested in pursuing a degree in the field of social services or psychology.

You can read more about the amazing night in the Everett Herald.
