Enhance wrap around community resources
ABAWD Navigation Design Funds – Most Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWD) currently do not have to meet work requirements to receive basic food assistance because Washington has waivers for all counties except King county. These waivers will be eliminated as of October 1, 2019 and Washington state is working on a plan to expand supportive services to the ABAWD population that will be required to meet the work requirement. It is projected over 108,000 additional ABAWDs will be required to participate. SBCTC has secured $75,000 per college to employ an ABAWD Navigator (salary, benefits, goods and services and indirects) to support SNAP recipients starting Oct. 1. Navigators will be employed by Aug. 16th at the latest in order to participate in a cohort training program in August and September. Navigators will be the first point of contact for ABAWDS and will help them connect to activities that not only meet work requirements but that are beneficial and appropriate for the individual. Activities that meet work requirements include, our BFET programs, job search, and employment. In addition to providing support to SNAP recipients, these navigators will work locally, regionally and statewide to enhance collaborations with community partners and increase resources to support low-income students. The ABAWD Navigators will be located within the BFET program and will help to support the current work of the BFET program. Applications will be released shortly so colleges have time to implement hiring processes.
