NorthStar Advocates has been instrumental in the state of Washington towards elevating the issue of providing safe housing and follow up support to young adults exiting inpatient behavioral health treatment. Inpatient behavioral health treatment is a proven strategy for young people experiencing homelessness to exit homelessness and reconnect with community, family and the creation of a healthy future. NorthStar Advocates has elevated this need on the agenda of several coalitions and work groups focused on preventing and ending youth and young adult homelessness. Additionally, NorthStar Advocates has developed and facilitated the Bridge Coalition, a state wide Coalition comprised of inpatient behavioral health (mental health and/or substance use disorder) providers, community based organizations that serve young people experiencing homelessness, outpatient mental health/SUD counselors, civil legal aid providers, insurance companies, young people with lived experience and others. The Bridge Coalition meets monthly and consists of cross-system networking, training(s) and discussion related to system gaps related to serving young people exiting homelessness through inpatient treatment. NorthStar Advocates has expanded the awareness and resources for young people, families and communities striving to prevent and end youth and young adult homelessness. 0 0 0 188604 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Franklin Pierce Northwest 2066390585 1600 2nd Ave 3808 Seattle WA 981013351 Jim Theofelis Executive Director 40 0 X 146614 0 0 Ros Ghan Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Laurie Lippold Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Daniel Lugo Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 146614 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 212340 430100 0 642440 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 642440 0 0 0 X 10419 10419 146614 146614 14191 14191 14487 4346 10141 35953 10786 25167 5421 1637 3784 0 283 85 198 1752 526 1226 229120 188604 40516 0 121004 331203 14275 208333 135279 539536 22738 13079 22738 13079 X 0 0 0 0 112541 526457 112541 526457 135279 539536 413320 0 0 0 596 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 142100 257406 642440 1041946 0 0 142100 257406 642440 1041946 1041946 1041946 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Participation stiped 9 10419 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 NorthStar Advocates has a commitment to both providing young people with lived experience compensation for their work and ensuring strong accounting controls and accountability.
