Land acknowledgement
Together, we acknowledge, with humility, the indigenous peoples whose presence permeates the waterways, shorelines, valleys, and mountains of the Olympic region. The land where we are is the territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the Chimacum, Hoh, Makah, S’Klallam, Suquamish, and Quileute tribes on whose sacred land we live, work, and play.

Building Infrastructure: Health-Related Social Needs
Olympic Community of Health (OCH) seeks to contract with qualified partners in Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap counties to build infrastructure to support resources and services aimed at addressing health-related social needs (HRSN).
As the backbone entity for Olympic Connect, OCH is committed to fostering a broad network of community partners to help everyone in the region get the support and care they need to thrive. OCH was recently allocated $147,790 from the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to support the development of HRSN service infrastructure authorized under the State’s Medicaid Transformation Project.
Under this current funding opportunity, OCH seeks qualified organizations and Tribes within Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap counties to propose projects that will support people-centered infrastructure with high priority on community members who are eligible for or beneficiaries of Medicaid, known as Apple Health in Washington. The HRSNs of focus for this opportunity are:
• Medical respite
• Nutrition supports
• Housing transition services or rental subsidies
Note: these dollars are specifically intended to support development of service infrastructure. These dollars cannot be used to implement or pay for the delivery of HRSN services.
