Ryan
White Funds:
Ryan White offers funding to meet various emergencies if no other
funding is available. Ryan White is used for medical transportation
assistance for non-Medicaid clients, emergency housing and utility
assistance, food vouchers, dental emergencies, limited medication
costs, mental health services, and other emergency needs defined
by statute. All other funding resources must be exhausted before
Ryan White dollars are used.
Ryan White funds are governed by the Bridge Consortium
which is composed of community representatives from Kitsap, Clallam,
and Jefferson Counties. These funds help support a variety of client
care needs. Eligible clients can access funds through their case
manager.
Community members are welcome to attend Consortium
meetings.
Contact Consortium staff - Ricki
Johnson at (360) 337-5261 or by e-mail
