Seattle Awards Funding for Home
Delivered Meals for Older Adults
The Seattle Human Services Department (HSD)
announced $1,503,296 million in funding for Home
Delivered Meals and Registered Dietitian Services to
Lifelong AIDS Alliance and Sound Generations.
The Home
D elivered
Meals pro-
gram allows
older adults
to have a
nu t r i t i o u s
meal if they
are unable
to
leave
their homes
and prepare meals on their own.
Registered Dietitian services are provided by nutri-
tion experts that offer technical assistance and sup-
port to Congregant Meal programs, ensure meals are
nutritious and safe to consume, and provide food and
nutrition education to participants.
Funding for Home Delivered Meals is awarded to
Lifelong AIDS Alliance ($583,281), and Sound Gen-
erations ($843,839). Both organizations are current
providers for this service, with individual strengths.
Sound Generation plans to collaborate with Asian
Counseling and Referral Service and Sea Mar to
serve the Asian and Latino populations.
Currently nearly 12 percent of older adults of color
(60+) experience food insecurity compared to their
White, non-Hispanic counterparts, at 3.8 percent.
Though Home Delivered Meals programs primar-
ily serve older adults, a portion of Lifelong Aids Al-
liance funding is dedicated to serving City of Seattle
adults, ages 18 to 59 years, with a chronic condition.
Tilth Alliance will receive $90,000 in funding to
provide Registered Dietitian services. Tilth is a cur-
rent service provider and was the only applicant for
this funding process.
The contract period for both services is from Janu-
ary 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
EPA Awards Washington $3 Million
to Protect Water Quality
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has awarded $3,080,000 to the Washington Depart-
ment of Ecology to help protect human health and the
environment through a Nonpoint Source Program
Clean Water Act (Section 319) grant.
This grant is given to states to implement environ-
mental programs that address nonpoint source pollu-
tion in surface and groundwater in order to meet and
maintain water quality standards.
Under this year’s program, a total of nine propos-
als were selected for funding. These proposals are
planned to be funded when the Washington state Leg-
islature passes a new two-year capital budget for the
2017-19 biennium, as these funds provide the critical
match for the federal grants.
Nonpoint sources of pollution continue to be rec-
ognized as the nation’s largest remaining cause of
surface water quality impairments. Nonpoint source
pollutants - pathogens, sediment, and nutrients cause
the majority of damage to Washington’s lakes, rivers
and streams. Non-point issues can also lead to warm
water temperatures. Left unaddressed, warm waters
can make crucial streams uninhabitable by cold-lov-
ing aquatic species like salmon and other native fish.
Finalists Selected for the 2017 Betty
Bowen Award
The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and the Betty Bow-
en Committee, chaired by Gary Glant, announced to-
day the five artists selected as finalists for this year’s
Betty Bowen Award.
Installation artist Tannaz Farsi (Eugene, OR); paint-
er Klara Glosova (Seattle, WA); collage artist Deborah
Faye Lawrence (Seattle, WA); multidisciplinary artist
Jono Vaughan (Seattle, WA); and painter and sculp-
tor Ko Kirk Yamahira (Seattle, WA).
The juried award honors a Northwest artist for
their original, exceptional, and compelling work. The
award was founded in 1977 to honor the legacy of Bet-
ty Bowen (1918–1977), who was an avid champion of
artists in the Pacific Northwest.
The Betty Bowen Committee — comprising North-
west curators, collectors, and former Betty Bowen
Award winners — reviewed 517 applications from
visual artists residing in Washington, Oregon, and
Idaho.
As in past years, artists of diverse backgrounds
were encouraged to apply.
One of this year’s finalists will receive an unre-
stricted cash award in the amount of $15,000 and will
have their work displayed at the Seattle Art Museum
beginning in April 2018. At the discretion of the Bet-
ty Bowen Committee, up to two Special Recognition
Awards in the amount of $2,500 may be granted.
The winner of the 39th Annual Betty Bowen
Award will be announced in September. The award
will be formally presented in a free and open to the
public celebration at the Seattle Art Museum on No-
vember 9.
