The Kitsap County Department of Human Services (KCDHS) is requesting Grant

Proposals for moneys collected under RCW 82.14.460 which must be used solely for

the purpose of providing for the operation or delivery of chemical dependency, or mental

health treatment programs and services, and for the operation or delivery of therapeutic

court programs and services. Monies collected by cities and counties under this section

may also be used for modification to existing facilities to address health and safety

needs necessary for the provision, operation, or delivery of chemical dependency, or

mental health treatment programs or services otherwise funded with money collected in

this section.

For the purposes of this section, “programs and services” includes, but is not limited to,

treatment services, case management, transportation, and housing that are a

component of a coordinated chemical dependency, or mental health treatment program

or service. Every county that authorizes the tax provided in this section shall, and every

other county may, establish and operate a therapeutic court component for

dependency proceedings designed to be effective for the court’s size, location, and

resources.

by one-tenth of one percent to augment state funding of mental health and chemical

dependency programs and services. In September 2013, the Kitsap County Board of

Commissioners (BOCC) passed a resolution authorizing a sales and use tax for Mental

Health, Chemical Dependency, and Therapeutic Court Programs. This sales and use

tax shall be known as “Treatment Sales Tax” or TST. The BOCC has the decision-
