<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Team, Below is an important message that I would like to distribute widely to our system. I will be posting this to our Student Supports Canvas Community. Will you please forward to all applicable contacts and listservs? Thanks so
much!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Important Budget Guidance Regarding the SSEH Pilot and SEAG Program Request for Applications<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We were delighted to see the value placed on wholistic support for post-secondary students during the 2021 WA State Legislative Session. In the following guidance, we will share how appropriations made within the
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5451&Year=2021&Initiative=false">
2021-2023 WA State operating budget</a> translate to the current request for application processes for the Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness (SSEH) Pilot and the Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) Program.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness (SSEH) Pilot<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The legislature appropriated 1.03 Million to fund the SSEH Pilot expansion through
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1166&Year=2021&Initiative=false">
HB1166</a> over the next two years. Although this was less funding than originally expected, we have not adjusted the maximum funding request limit for college applications of $108,000 per year. Please note, we will not be able to fund all requests at the maximum
amount and reserve the right to adjust SSEH Pilot allocations, as needed. We recommend that colleges consider the full breadth of resources being made available to communities across WA State for homelessness response and prepare your 2-year budgets accordingly.
We strongly encourage colleges that apply for the SSEH Pilot to also apply for the SEAG Program in order to leverage these funding sources to support students’ needs during the ongoing crises and recovery efforts.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reminder - SSEH Pilot applications are due <b>May 6<sup>th</sup> by 11:55 PM</b>. Please see the
<a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/grants/supporting-college-students-experiencing-homelessness.aspx">

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Student Emergency Assistance Grant (SEAG) Program<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to the extraordinary reporting efforts of our current SEAG Program colleges during FY20-21, the WA State Legislature has increased the 2-year budget from 1.5 Million to 8 Million. This significant increase means all CTC’s that meet
the minimum application requirements will be funded. Colleges should calculate their 2-year budgets by assessing students’ needs, evaluating existing available resources and identifying what additional resources are required to better support students’ requests
for emergency assistance. There is no maximum funding request limit. Colleges can anticipate the average allocation will be roughly $115,000 per year. Some colleges may need less and some colleges may need more, especially any colleges applying as districts.
SBCTC will take great care to utilize SEAG Program funding to award college applications based on demonstrated need and reserves the right to adjust actual allocations, as needed. The 2021-23 Emergency Assistance Grant Program Guidelines and OGMS are being
updated to reflect this change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, we have received several questions about allowable expenditures within the SEAG Program. Please see the following information to assist with your budgeting process:<o:p></o:p></p>
