Details:
The Washington State Department of Commerce is seeking 1-3 qualified technical assistance (TA) providers to support community-based organizations delivering reentry services across the state. This solicitation is issued through the Community Reinvestment Project (CRP), a community-designed initiative to uplift communities, with the goal to create lasting economic benefits, build wealth and ensure everyone has a fair chance at success.
Through this investment, CRP will allocate approximately $300,000 in technical assistance funding to build the capacity and long-term sustainability of culturally responsive, community-based reentry providers. The total funding amount will be divided across three regions, with up to $100,000 available for each region. Applicants may bid on one or multiple regions. Funding will be managed by the CRP team. This initiative aligns with statewide priorities, including Reentry 2030, and supports efforts to strengthen coordination between community-based providers, state correctional facilities, and Medicaid-funded systems of care.
The goal of this grant is to bridge the gap between grassroots community care and complex state systems, including Washington Apple Health Medicaid. Funding will be used to support by-and-for organizations in building structured case management workflows, compliance processes and technical data integrity required to work with correctional Medicaid providers and successfully submit Medicaid claims. Technical assistance will focus on strengthening billing readiness, data reporting systems and operational coordination with providers operating within Monroe Correctional Complex, Washington, Corrections Center for Women, Coyote Ridge and other state correctional facilities The long-term impact being that community-led organizations can connect with individuals pre-release and post- release. This will support continuity of care for individuals transitioning from incarceration and returning to a life outside of carceral confinement.
