NEW INTAKE PHONE NUMBER FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS

The RAP also serves people fleeing – or attempting to flee – domestic violence.
RAP staff are available to help eligible participants in completing the Coordinated Entry for All housing assessments. They also serve participants with diversion move-in assistance once they have found a unit and they have been approved for move-in.
Solid Ground’s RAP experienced an interruption in its intake phone line in December and has launched a new phone number to continue to serve people experiencing homelessness. That number is 206.694.6833. The RAP hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm, excluding holidays. RAP staff will respond to voice messages within two business days.
OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR GUARANTEED EDUCATION TUITION PLAN
WHAT: This year’s open enrollment period for Washington state’s Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program is November 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022. Newborns may enroll year-round.
The GET program is Washington’s 529 prepaid college tuition plan that helps families with young children save for future higher education expenses. The State of Washington guarantees that the value of your account will keep pace with the cost of college tuition, no matter how much it changes in the future. The earlier you start, the more time you have to save and the greater the opportunity for increased value of your GET account.
GET account values are measured in “units,” where 100 units equals the cost of one year of resident, undergraduate tuition and state-mandated fees at Washington’s highest priced public university. Individual units are valued at 1/100th of that cost , currently $114.01. You can buy units in whole or partial amounts, from one to 800 units per student.
MORE INFO: To learn more about GET and Washington’s other 529 plan, the DreamAhead College Investment Plan, go to the Washington State 529 Plans website.
TIME TO APPLY FOR 2022-23 FINANCIAL AID
WHAT: Financial aid applications for the 2022-23 school year are now being accepted. This year, a family of four making up to $102,000 can qualify for financial aid in Washington state.
There are two ways to apply for financial aid in Washington. U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens apply for federal and state aid with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). People who can’t file the FAFSA due to immigration status can apply only for state aid with the WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid), as can other select applicants. Students who submit a FAFSA or a WASFA are far more likely to attend college.
It is best to apply for financial aid as soon as possible. Some types of aid are first-come, first-served, and colleges have different deadlines. Applicants need to know the deadlines for the colleges or programs they want to attend.
FOR MORE INFO: Visit the Washington Student Achievement Council’s Plan Your Future page.
