IV. OLD BUSINESS
a. 2023 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
Before the Executive Board are draft 2023 federal legislative priorities.
Andrew Calkins with King County Housing Authority provided an overview of each priority at
the October Executive Board meeting followed by discussion and question and answer with
the Board.
After the discussion, staff followed up with draft 2023 federal legislative priorities to share
with their staff and Councils with the intention to vote on the draft legislative priorities at this
meeting.
Are there any questions, concerns, feedback Board members want to share before making
a motion?
Page 3 of 19
ATTACH M ENT A
Traci Buxton highlighted the support and creation of diverse housing options while retaining
local land use authority, giving cities the freedom to decide options that suits their needs.
Traci also expressed support for robust supportive services, especially in the workforce
development sector. Also highlighting the request for funding for SKHHP. Huge thank you
for the work going into the creation of the Legislative Priorities.
De'Sean Quinn thanked the staff for the hard work putting the Legislative Priorities together.
A consideration when receiving federal dollars is that they use a formula based on
population not need, this could be a justification for the direct allocation to SKHHP. It
acknowledges that we have diverse communities but the limits by populations don't always
meet the need across King County.
Traci Buxton made a motion to approve the 2023 federal legislative priorities, Ryan Mclrvin
seconded. Motion passed unanimously (9-0).
b. Update on SKHHP housing capital fund applications
Angela San Filippo provided an update on the Advisory Board review and recommendation
process.
Traci Buxton asked if the December Executive Board meeting would be Angela's last
meeting as SKHHP Executive Manager. Angela confirmed it would be her last meeting in
the role.
c. Update on Executive Manager Hiring Process
After the Board approved the position description, classification, and agreed on the overall
recruitment and hiring process the Executive Manager position opened on October 28.
The first review date was November 14, after staff review of applications there are several
candidates that will be invited for interviews.
The next steps in the process as agreed on at the October Executive Board meeting are as
follows:
• 15t interviews with staff work group and Advisory Board members
• 2nd interviews with Executive Board members and carryover representative from first
interviews
Should there be a consensus from 2nd interviews the final recommendation will be brought
to the full Executive Board in an executive session for a final decision.
Angela San Filippo will be reaching out to adjust times for the 2nd Interviews as some
scheduling has changed. She will attempt to reschedule in the week of December 6th
V. NEW BUSINESS

San Filippo provided an overview of the progress and budget report.
No questions, discussion, or feedback was shared. The final progress and budget report will
be sent as a follow-up to the Board.
VI. Educational Item
a. Housing First
Through previous educational topics, Executive Board members have heard recent data
and research into the connection between affordable housing and homelessness.
Today will be an opportunity to hear directly from housing providers on housing first.
Housing first is an evidenced based philosophy and presenters will bring forward examples
from local providers working in South King County communities.
Dorsol Plants provided introductions to speakers and overview of the educational item
agenda.
Rae Trotta and Theresa Tanoury from Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) opened
the training by providing an overview of "Housing First" and Supportive Housing. Rae has
15 years of experience as a "Housing First" service provider in the Oregon area. CSH is a
national non-profit organization, that provides supportive housing across the United States.
Rae explained that "Housing First" is the framework and approach that believes all people
deserve safe housing with dignity. Supportive Housing is the intervention, an evidence
based programmatic solution for housing our most vulnerable members.
CSH defines their Supportive Housing with several key characteristics. First, is that it is
permanent, and the subsidy stays with the person with no expiration date. Secondly, the
unit must be truly affordable, and the affordability is planned out over a minimum of 30
years. Additionally, all services provided are tenant centered and are not required to access
housing. Finally, while housing is provided without conditions, staff ensure the resources
and support for individuals to succeed and thrive are available in their new homes.
Supportive Housing is not the solution for everyone in the community. It's an expensive and
intensive intervention with evidence -based practices for the most vulnerable. "Housing First"
programs show a high housing retention rate, meaning our most vulnerable are not left on
the street. Data also shows that communities with "Housing First" spend less on higher cost
intervention systems such as Emergency Medical Services or Law Enforcement responses.
Rae discussed several reasons why supportive housing exists. Reasons included a history
of systemic racism in the housing market, including Redlining, Block Busting, and Racially
Restrictive Housing Covenants as just a few examples. These barriers are deeply ingrained
in our country and are still having direct impacts today.
Rae reviewed the seven core components of CSH's Supportive Housing model which
include: quick access to housing, units that are targeted to serve the most vulnerable,
provides lease/tenant protections, centered on tenant choice, robust supportive services
with assertive engagement, embrace a harm reduction approach, and tenancy is not
dependent on participating in services. A crucial factor of success is that housing retention
Page 5 of 19
ATTACHMENT A
through program support starts on day one. Staffing is a key component of this, you must
ensure that there are enough staff to truly create a supportive housing environment.
Question about the challenges of mixing populations such as families and single adults and
whether there were concerns about capacity. Rae provided examples from Portland,
Oregon on how a recent shift in service has been to move toward mixed income properties.
Their experience with programs that offer only Supportive Housing onsite such as a 100-
unit model are that they struggle to maintain proper staffing levels due to the high acuity
demands in the space. Currently, CSH does still separate their housing by service type with
programs specific to families, unaccompanied youth, and single adults.
Teena Ellison from the Compass Housing Alliance has over twenty years of experience
designing "Housing First" programs. Teena has used the information and training from CSH
to develop programs here in King County. Compass Housing utilizes many mixed unit
properties, with only a set number of units being set aside for supportive housing.
Compass Housing will be opening the Health Through Housing program in Auburn first as
emergency shelter, to be converted to 100% permanent supportive housing once it fully
opens. To qualify for the program, you will have to meet the definition of chronic
homelessness and have a diagnosed disability.
Teena acknowledged the question what does "Housing First" mean when it comes to
permitted behavior in the program. The services provided are not mandatory, but Compass
Housing prioritizes developing a trusting relationship with the individual. People will use
substances, and there will be challenges, but there are expectations that the staff work with
residents to maintain housing while modifying the behavior. This is accomplished by
building a community through on -site through meals, activities, and providing supportive
services like substance abuse treatment.
Ravenna Candy is a director at the Multicare Behavioral Health Network, and over the past
19 years has developed numerus programs in King County for Navos. Working closely with
King County and UW School of Medicine to collect and track metrics over the last twenty
years to demonstrate that clients succeed in their programs. Most participants graduate in
an average of three years and have a housing voucher, so they maintain housing after
leaving the program.
One area of focus for Ravenna has been trauma informed housing. Recognizing that many
supportive housing sites were in rougher areas and not well maintained, creating a sense of
safety in the home is essential for building stability. Ravenna has worked directly with
architects to develop programs that do not traumatize someone who has already
experienced trauma through safe and proper design.
Ravenna noted that some communities struggle to welcome supportive housing. Her
strategy has been to keep programs small and blended in the community. Often
neighborhoods begin to benefit from supportive housing in the area because the property is
well maintained and supported.
Page 6 of 19
ATTACHMENT A
Ravenna noted the often perceived stereotype that the people Navos serve are dangerous,
or that supportive housing will drive down property values. Her experience has been the
opposite, people served through Navos tend to be vulnerable and easily taken advantage
of. .
Rae Trotta was asked to speak more about the the "Housing First" model not requiring
services. Rae responded by talking about how the philosophy is human focused and about
seeing the person for who they are. Creating a sense of safety and participation empowers
a person to make better decisions for themselves.
Tara Stordahl is a new Housing Department Manager at Navos. She spoke to some of the
strengths of the "Housing First" model being the ability for the participant to truly buy into the
program. Navos makes it clear through all aspects of service that they genuinely have the
goal to safely house and keep people off the street.
Heather Rowlett has worked over the past fifteen years with incarcerated mothers before
beginning her work at Navos. The strength of "Housing First" is about removing paternalism
from providing housing to the community. When we think we should be deciding for folks
instead of coming beside them in community we create more problems.
Dana Ralph thanked the presenters for bringing forward information on such a challenging
but important topic.
Sunaree Marshall asked if there were more examples of working with individual neighbors
and communities to articulate the need for Supportive Housing. Teena Ellison
recommended talking to the community about housing the most vulnerable is a better
investment of philanthropic and taxpayer dollars and Compass Housing Alliance provides a
contact for the neighbors to call if they have concerns or issues about the supportive
housing.
Ravenna Candy added that after buying a supportive housing unit in a neighborhood, she
will go door to door and over time the concerns and feelings of animosity change to
transparency. Every family has someone struggling with their mental health or housing, and
those are the individuals that supportive housing serves.
Dana Ralph asked how accountability in a "Housing First' model works when someone is
creating an unsafe environment. Raveena Candy spoke about the importance of staff
presence as part of the supportive environment. Through assertive community treatment a
multi -disciplinary support network is built around the person seven days a week. Tara
Strodahl added that her staff interact with tenants at least every other day making sure the
property is clean, safe, and maintained. The staff are part of the daily structure.
Eric Zimmerman asked about the evidence for an acceptable success rate for the residents,
and what metrics define success. Additionally, what means of verification exist for the
validity of the long-term result. Ravenna Candy spoke to seventeen years of data provided
every six months in collaboration with the UW School of Medicine to collect data and
analyze their programs. On average it takes about three years to graduate, and data
Page 7 of 19
ATTACH M ENT A
collected after graduation shows a roughly 90% success rate as defined by housing
retention and reduced hospital visitation.
Eric Zimmerman asked for a cost per beneficiary figure. Ravenna Candy has worked with
King County to collect that data and did not have the exact figure at the meeting but would
work with SKHHP Staff to provide it.
VII. UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Angela San Filippo shared that the City of Des Moines is developing their housing action
plan. She provided a link to the online information. Traci Buxton spoke highly of the work of
city staff, and the excitement of working on the housing action plan and the comprehensive
plan.
Sunaree Marshall provided information that the City of Burien collected on cost savings
associated with "Housing First" in response to Eric Zimmerman's question. Sunaree has
also taken a new position at King County as Deputy Division Director for Housing,
Homelessness, and Community Development. She will continue to serve with SKHHP
during the hiring process.

Habitat for Humanity is requesting grant funds in the amount of $300,000 for a
homeownership project located in Burien. The proposed project is phase I of II of a new
development that will result in 40 affordable condominiums. Phase I consists of the
construction of 20 three bedroom townhomes, 1.5 bath houses for households earning
up to 50% of area median income (AMI).
The project proposal is to provide permanent affordability through a land trust
administered by Habitat and sold with an individual ground lease that allows Habitat the
Page 9 of 19
ATTACHMENT B
right of first option to purchase the home upon resale with a set 1.5% appreciation
calculation in the lease agreement.
As part of Habitat's homeownership model, homebuyers are required to put in 250
hours of sweat equity. The project also requires a Condominium Owners Association
(COA) comprised of residents. The COA will address property issues and guidelines
established in the land lease. Through the COA, reserves are established for the repair
and maintenance of the buildings and to address ongoing landscape and maintenance.
The reserve fund will be managed by the COA and funded through a monthly fee that is
part of the overall housing costs and included in the 33% housing to household income
ratio provided to homebuyers.

3. ECOTHRIVE — BURIEN
Funding request: $700,000 - $1,000,000
PROJECT SUMMARY OVERVIEW
EcoThrive is requesting grant funds in the amount of $700,000 - $1,000,000 for a
homeownership project located in Burien. The project proposal is to provide permanent
affordability through a limited -equity cooperative formed by homeowners as well as a
community land trust that holds the land in trust. The proposed project is the new
construction of 26 houses ranging in size from 350 square feet to 650 square feet for
households earning between 30 and 50% of area median income (AMI).
The property currently consists of a single family residential house that is uninhabitable.
The property is currently zoned single family residential that allows for 6 dwelling units
per acre. EcoThrive has submitted an application for the City of Burien's affordable
housing demonstration program that would allow for a greater density of housing than is
currently allowed on the property. Estimated approval for the affordable housing
demonstration program is March of 2023.
FUNDING RATIONALE
The SKHHP Advisory Board supports the concept of the EcoThrive housing proposal
but does not recommend funding at this time. The Advisory Board would welcome an
application in the next funding round. This would provide an opportunity for EcoThrive to
address the issues identified below:
• Further develop the plan for operational support of the limited equity cooperative
and other supportive services.
• Further develop and identify the plan for qualifying households for home loans.
• Sweat equity at 10 hours per month in perpetuity may be a significant challenge
for some households.
• Obtain approval for City of Burien Affordable Housing Demonstration Program or
pursuit of other land use changes that support the development proposal.
• Include development cost estimate that helps establish soundness of
development budget.
• Further development of building design, parking, and conformance with zoning
requirements.
• Further develop plan for engaging, connecting, and working with households
proposing to serve.
