The value of the skate park relative to the value of the property will determine if additional site improvements are needed to meet code requirements. The busy real estate market has caused a delay in the availability of appraisers. The appraisal will be completed late summer. Anticipating the value of the skate park project will be greater then 25% of the appraised value of existing park improvements, staff is considering construction/design alternatives and phasing the construction of the project. Both phasing and reconfiguring the design will reduce the scope of the project. We will update the status of the project during the Council Committee meeting on August 23, 1999. Item 5E CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Date: July 20, 1999 From: David Wilbrecht, Deputy Director Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department Subject: Graffiti Program Update Background: In 1994, the City of Federal Way began to address graffiti city-wide by implementing the Graffiti Removal Involvement Program (GP IP). The program was designed to work with local business and homeowners to educate and remove graffiti from their properties. Resources were allocated to implement the program including a seasonal maintenance worker, a step van, a telephone number (graffiti hotline), equipment and supplies. Initially the program cost the City about $15,000, not including supervision and equipment replacement. The program was fairly simple to manage, control and implement. A property owner would call the graffiti hotline with information about graffiti. The seasonal maintenance worker would call back to determine the location, type, size, kind and how much graffiti was done and to send or fax a form to the property owner to give permission to the employee to work on private property. When written permission was granted, the employee would go to the site to remove the graffiti. This work generally included painting over the graffiti, chemically removing it or sanding it off. When the worker was not removing graffiti from private property, he or she would drive a route in the city looking for graffiti that had not been called in and when there was no graffiti, they were directed to remove graffiti in parks. In 1997, the program was downsized along with other maintenance programs. The department continued to respond to calls and park graffiti but discontinued the pro -active approach of looking for and removing graffiti that had not been called in. The amount of graffiti that would be removed was also limited. Several businesses were reporting that the entire sides of their buildings needed to be repainted. These requests were beyond the scope of the program. Since 1997, the size of the graffiti has been limited to three square feet or less. In addition, the number of calls has dropped off along with the marketing of the program and the resources available to adequately support it. In 1999, Park Operations continues to remove graffiti from park locations but no longer removes graffiti from private property. Property owners are advised to contact painters or private sector graffiti removers that are listed the yellow pages. Item 5F CITY OF FEDERAL WAY CITY COUNCIL PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES, AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Date: July 19, 1999 From: Del Hoover, Chair, Human Services Commission Subject: 2000 CDBG Proposed Use of Funds I Background The Human Services Commission is pleased to present the 2000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Proposed Use of Funds. The Council Committee is asked to review the funding recommendations and forward th�m to the full City Council for final approval. Included with this memo is (1) a summary chart, listing each project, the requested amount, the proposed funding level and a brief rationale; (2) a contingency plan providing guidelines for adjusting grant awards should the funds available increase or decrease; (3) one-page project descriptions for each application, (4) a two-page overview of the CDBG program guidelines, and (5) a reference copy of the City's CDBiG Funding Strategies, 2000-2003. The Council received a copy of the Commission's preliminary recommendations based on an original grant estimate of $496,840. On July 19, the City received a revised grant estimate of $606,881 (detailed below). The Commission adjusted their preliminary recommendations after the CDBG Public Hearing to accommodate the change in funds available and to recognize public comment taken at that hearing. Recommendation Process The total amount of funds available for the year 2000 is estimated at $606,881. This includes a 2000 CDBG grant estimate of $492,820. In addition to the grant, $55,243 is added in recaptured CDBG funds from prior year projlects that did not expend their total award or Federal Way Home Repair Program loans that were repaid. The total amount also includes $67,557 in CDBG program income which is generat'od by interest income received from King County CDBG Consortium -wide loan programs. Of the $606,881 total, $434,480 is available for capital projects (including $91,032 targeted toward eligible economic development applications), $89,760 is available for public service programs, and $82,641 is available for planning and administration activities. On April 30, 1999, applications Were received for capital projects and public service programs. Seventeen proposals requested a total of $766,344. Of that total, $561,526 requested funds for capital projects (including $237,526 in eligible economic development requests), and $132,900 requested for public service programs. Human Services staff prepared a proposal for the use of planning and administrative funds totaling $71,918. The Commission was challenged to thoroughly weigh each proposal and recommend funding at appropriate levels while staying with the constraints of the available funds. During weekly meetings, the Commission carefully reviewed each application and interviewed all applicants before developing a preliminary recommendation. The Commission then hosted a public hearing to collect citizen comments on the preliminary recommendations. These comments were considered as the Commission voted on the final Proposed Use of Funds. The recommendations follow the guidelines of the City's CDBG Funding Strategies. New for this year is the 15 percent set-aside for eligible economic development projects. The Commission reviewed three eligible applications and recommended funding for two of the applications, totaling $149,526 (this amount represents 25 percent of the total grant). In general, the Commission favored projects that are located in Federal Way or serve a high percentage of Federal Way residents. For public service projects, the Commission chose to recommend continued funding for programs that had received CDBG awards in 1999. The Commission was able to maintain funding for these programs near their 1999 funding levels while allowing limited funding for one new program For planning and administration activities, $10,723 was available in excess of what was proposed by staff. This excess amount was allocated to capital projects. The Commission is confident that the Proposed Use of Funds complies with local and federal statutory guidelines. At the same time, it offers a diverse portfolio of projects and programs that predominantly benefit low- and moderate -income residents or eliminate conditions of blight within the community. Committee Recommendation The Committee recommends approval of the 2000 Community Development Block Grant Proposed Use of Funds, as presented by the Human Services Commission. This recommendation is forwarded to the full City Council for consideration at the August 3, 1999 meeting. 2. The Committee recommends approval of the 2000 Community Development Block Grant Proposed Use of Funds, as presented by the Human Services Commission and modified by the Committee. This recommendation is forwarded to the full City Council for consideration at the August 3, 1999 meeting.

The City will not be informed of its exact grant amount until December 1999. For this reason, the allocation process includes a contingency plan. The plan allows for adjustment up or down based upon the final grant amount. The Human Services Commission recommends a set of actions, contingent upon changes in funds available. SHOULD THE ESTIMATED GRANT AMOUNT INCREASE OR ADDITIONAL FUNDS BECOME AVAILABLE: Capital Projects ➢ Any additional funds will be ;Allocated to (1) Habitat for Humanity of South King County — Federal Way Site Acquisition to the requested level of $30,000, then to (2) King County Housing and Community Development — Federal Way Home Repair Program to a maximum funding level of $170,000. Public Service Programs ➢ Any additional funds will be allocated to the following programs in the following priority order; (1) Community Health Centers of King County — Dental Access Program to the requested level or $12,600, and (2) City of Federal Way, Legal Services — Domestic Violence Unit to the requested level of $56,380. Planning and Administration Activities ➢ Any additional funds for planning and administration activities will be allocated to capital projects in accordance with the priority order listed above. SHOULD THE ESTIMATED GRANT AMOUNT DECREASE: Capital Projects ➢ Funding for the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce — International District Phase II will be decreased to a minimum funding level of $33,194. Additional decreases will be made to the remaining capital projects in proportion to the remaining percentage decrease in grant funds. Public Service Programs ➢ Funding for the Federal Way Head Start — Parent and Child Education Series will be decreased up to the full grant amount. Additional decreases will be made to the remaining public service programs in proportion to the remaining percentage decrease in grant funds. Planning and Administration Activities ➢ If necessary, funding for planning activities will be decreased to their full extent before decreases are made to administrative activities. cmoF G Y Y AY PROPOSED CAPITAL PROJECTS Federal Way Youth Shelter Auburn Youth Resources (AYR) Request: $40,000 HS Commission Recommendation: $40,000 Project Description This project is a collaborative effort between Auburn Youth Resources (AYR) and Federal Way Youth and Family Services (FWYFS). FWYFS is providing their property for a six - bed, co-ed emergency youth shelter serving youth between the ages of 10 and 17. During their two-week stay at the shelter, AYR will get the youth back into school, work with the family or the case worker to develop a treatment plan and then provide aftercare services for the youth and their family once they have left the program. CDBG funding will be used for development and construction costs. The applicant chose to renovate this space over purchasing an existing home for four reasons: 1) it is all one level and easily adaptable for the physically challenged, 2) it is set up with two wings separated by the kitchen and.living room which makes it easier to keep boys and girls apart, 3) FWYFS is already considered a "good neighbor" by their immediate neighbors and we expect little resistance to the change of use as a residential program, and 4) the bus stop is across the street from the site. This project is scheduled to bye complete in June 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. This project is located in Federal Way and meets an identified need in the community. A youth shelter is specifically listed in the City's Human Services Comprehensive Plan as a funding recommendation addressing basic needs. The shelter will complement a youth drop-in center recently opened by AYR near Federal Way High School. Project Revenue Sources Federal Way CDBG $40,000 1999 Funds Received none King County $126,698 Federal Way Share 24.0% TOTAL COST $166,698 Human Services Commission Proposed Capital Projects Page 2 of 17 Catholic Community Services (CCS) Transitional Housing for Homeless Women Request: $15,000 HS Commission Recommendation: $15,000 Project Description The proposed shelter will primarily serve homeless women exiting the Regional Justice Center in Kent. The plan is to search for a single family house in South King County that has seven bedrooms plus sufficient common areas to meet the program needs. If such a structure cannot be found, CCS will find a smaller house and build an addition to create the needed space. The living arrangement is proposed for 6 women (plus a house manager) to share a single family house with common areas to allow for smooth operation of the program's components. Common' areas needed include: kitchen, baths, living/ meeting room, dining area, den/ study/ library, laundry, and shared office for the case manager and alcohol and drug treatment counselor. On-site management will include a part-time case manager and a live-in house manager. On-site services will include case management, some drug and alcohol treatment (group and individual meetings), classes in life skill training such as parenting, budgeting, stress management, and job preparation skills. During a period of 6 to 12 months, each resident will have participated in an individually tailored plan to achieve self-sufficiency. Exiting from the program will include a less intensive aftercare program in the community. The site acquisition is scheduled to be complete by February 2000. Services will begin in October 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. There is a critical need for this type of service in South King County. Seventy-five percent of the women incarcerated at the Regional Justice Center have no permanent address. There are currently no long-term shelters in South King County for single women. CCS estimates that twelve percent of the client base will be Federal Way residents.

HS Commission Recommendation: $15,000 Project Description This project requests funds to acquire property in South King County for a special needs housing project. The facility will be a homelike structure, providing 15 private bedrooms, a community kitchen, common areas, a lounge and office space. The structure will be designed to address unique health and safety needs of a recovering population, but will also be designed to complement the character of the surrounding community and address concerns about safety and security. The project will serve persons who have a history of chronic inebriation and who,l (a) are coming out of residential treatment programs and other designated treatment settings, and/or (b) are not currently in residential treatment, but have been in recovery, have relap$ed, and are in need of temporary housing to resume their recovery efforts. The project will provide a stable, supportive housing environment for recovering persons, with access to treatment support, employment and assistance with transition into a permanent living situation. All persons living at the site will have support and supervision from staff located on the premises. Community Psychiatric Clinic provides a full continuum of residential and healthcare services to individuals in chemical dependency and mental outpatient treatment. CPC estimates that site acquisition will take place by February 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #l: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. This project targets an extremely hard to serve low-income population. There are no similar facilities in South King County. Partial funding is recommended as the project serves a low percentage of Federal Way residents (between one and nine percent).

The site will be used to construct single family homes for first- time home buyers. This project will assist one or two low-income families, depending on the lot size, to become first time homeowners. The first task of the program is to secure and purchase a site to build a house. HFHSKC will then assist families chosen for the houses to assure that they have the knowledge and abilities needed to fulfill the financial requirements of home ownership and the practical skills needed to maintain the home's physical plant. To construct the home(s), HFHSKC will partner with local churches and community groups concerned with providing decent housing for low-income families. In addition, HFHSKC Will provide on-going support to the families through its Family Nurture Committee. - Individuals from that committee work with the family members and assist them should they encounter difficult times. The applicant expects to complete the purchase of the site by May 2000. Construction may then be complete by the end of the year. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities. aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. Site acquisition is an important activity for Habitat as property values continue to rise in Federal Way and throughout the region. The partial funding recognizes that this applicant received over $200,000 in CDBG funds for the 1999 program year from King County and several South King County cities, including Federal Way.

The HRP includes both loan and igrant programs. The loan is structured with zero interest and no monthly payments until there is a change in ownership. Clients can borrow up to $13,500 for necessary repairs to correct health and safety issues. When the house is sold or the title transferred, the amount of the loan becomes due and payable. The program includes an emergency grant program for smaller scale projects that immediately threaten the health or safety of the homeowner (for example, a broken heating system during winter). The maximum grant amount is $1,500. Grants up to $2,700 are also available to mobile home owners for necessary repairs. Loans for home repairs are available to all low- and moderate -income city residents who have owned their homes for over one year. Eighty percent of the clientele are over the age of 55, most of whom are long time Federal Way residents on fixed incomes. These clients can no longer afford to repair their homes when systems begin to fail (leaking roofs, water and sewer pipes, electric and heating systems). Without assistance, the problems become health and safety issues that eventually force to homeowner to move out. The Housing Repair Program prevents homelessness by maintaining the habitability of homes. The program also preserves neighborhoods by preventing deterioration of the housing stock. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. No similar program exists in Federal Way. Every year, the program assists approximately 20 low- and moderate -income homeowners with average loan amounts of $8,000. As loans are repaid, the amount is added to the City's annual CDBG pass-through amount to be reallocated in future funding cycles. The recommendation is to maintain the program at the 1999 funding level. This program is different from other proposals as a preliminary funding level is pre -committed by the City during the Consortium's pass-through acceptance process (although revision is possible).

Thirteen units are used for emergency family shelter, six units are used to house mentally ill senior citizens, and eight units are dedicated to transitional housing for homeless families. These units are leased to non-profit organizations including the South King County Multi -Service Center, Highline-West Seattle Mental Health, and St. Stephen's Housing Association. This property was acquired from the U.S. Military, who built it during the late 1950's. The plumbing is original and is in need of complete removal and replacement. Exterior lines to the units are broken and deteriorated and cannot handle the wastewater flow, thus causing continual back up into the units. In addition, the exhaust system is out of date and does not properly vent the units nor rid them of excess moisture. This unsanitary condition is a health concern for residents. It is suspected that some of the underground pipes are broken and leaching directly into the ground. Because these pipes are under the slab construction and surrounding landscape, restoration of the construction areas is included in the project. The final phase of this project is to remove the trees that are sitting above these pipes. This will consist of stump grinding and disposal of approximately 65 fifty -foot trees. This project is has an estimated completion date of March 2001. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. This project is located near Federal Way and City residents represent approximately twenty percent of the facility's clients. Funding will ensure that transitional and emergency housing units remain operational.

The current width of the driveway is 25 feet. The City Code allows openings up to 35 feet. This improvement would allow cars to enter and exit at the same time, without stopping the flow of traffic on 336th. This road is one of the main traffic arterials in Federal Way and is highly traveled, especially during rush hour traffic. Often a vehicle must stop in traffic and wait for a vehicle to exit the lot before being able to enter. Staff members) and customers have been involved in accidents while trying to make a turn into the driveway. This project is scheduled to be complete by October 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #3: Address human service needs which focus upon self-support systems that empower families and communities to make contributions to their own well-being and enhance the quality of their lives. This project will benefit a large number of Federal Way residents who access the services provided at the site. The partial funding recommendation is due to limited funds available.

The vinyl and baseboard areas in the kitchen, upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, and a small area by the front door need to be replaced. Another item needing replacement is the carpets throughout, both upstairs and downstairs. Due to leaks in two of the units (which have since been addressed), replacing either the carpet or vinyl may require some floor repair work if dry rot is present. Other items that would be part of the rehab include the replacement of the bathroom sinks/faucets and cabinetry. Finally, the kitchen cabinetry needs painting as they get.much wear and tear due to the children living there. The agency has secured preliminary bids to substantiate the estimated costs. If funds are granted the agency will obtain three official bids for the work before selecting the contractor. Program fees charged clients are not adequate to maintain the units for items targeted by this request. The agency keeps fees low in order to help families meet their goals, repair bad credit, and save for more permanent housing. Therefore, from time to time, it is necessary to seek additional capital funding for more major maintenance and repair. The estimated completion date for this project is August 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing... Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters.

The project which will: create additional space for TR's on-site programs; result in the permanent acquisition of the main Growing Solutions garden plot, securing its future within agency control and permitting expansion; and provide 15 studio units for individuals with severe mental illness on the second and third floors. The new 2500 square foot fa6ility will represent a net gain in square footage for TR's programs. Programs to be located in the new facility include: Puget Sound Networks - providing case management services to mentally ill adults living in the community; Puget Sound Employment- providing in-depth vocational rehabilitation and training; Growing Solutions- a vocational project of Puget Sound Employment, Growing Solutions employs clients in TR's certified organic farm. Most of the Growing Solutions organic farm is on the proposed site. The estimated completion date for this project is March 2001. Local Strategy and Rationale #1: Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing...

There are currently no safe pedestrian crossings near this intersection. Vehicular access between SR 99 and 330th Street will also be significantly improved by the signal. Left -turn access from/to driveways within 200' from the intersection will be restricted by the installation of a Type C -curb on SR 99. Access to the impacted driveways will be maintained by providing protected/permissive left -turns and U-turns on both northbound and southbound SR 99. The new intersection will be connected to the City's existing sidewalk system through construction of a 360 foot length of sidewalk on 330`h Street east from Pacific Highway. . The projected completion date for this project is June 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #2: Prioritize and fund projects that strengthen the City's infrastructure and stimulate economic development. Approximately 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation will be targeted toward projects categorized under this strategy. Grants recently secured from other sources have reduced this project's dependency upon CDBG for implementation. Additionally, the two other projects in this sub -category may have a greater economic development impact for the city.

The parcel will be developed into an International Pocket Park/Plaza. The theme is a compass, with the Phase I pedestrian paths leading from the compass points. There will be landscaping, a minor water feature, benches and trash receptacles. The center of the compass will incorporate a globe representing ethnic diversity.' The International Pocket Park addresses the City's overall goal of developing pedestrian - friendly public facilities in the Downtown Area. Specifically, the park acts as a mid -point feature and respite area buckling together pedestrian access routes emanating from Steel Lake Park and Celebration Pirk. New safe pedestrian -friendly public facilities in the downtown area directly benefit those residents living close enough to walk to the retail and recreation services offered downtown. The second phase of this project is scheduled for completion in September of 2000. Local Strategy and Rationale #2: Prioritize and fund projects that strengthen the City's infrastructure and stimulate economic development. Approximately 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation will be targeted toward projects categorized under this strategy. This project is an appropriate second phase to the pedestrian paths that will be constructed with a 1999 CDBG award. The project will benefit the low- and moderate -income residents of the area who walk area retail establishments. However, all phases of this project depend upon participation and financial or in-kind contribution from area property owners. That commitment has not been shown to date. Also, the development and long term maintenance of the pocket park have yet to be defined.

The applicant currently leases temporary office space in Federal Way. The training center will be used to instruct volunteer coaches, referees, and administrators in the skills needed to teach our youths the skills necessary to play the game of soccer and to instruct volunteers how to conduct games so that the children's safety and health are protected. The site is located adjacent to Celebration Park and the facility could be used for supplemental activities of the City's Parks Department. The proposed usage, as described, would remove the attractiveness of the property for illegal dumping and as a haven for transients in the area. WSYSA will review, as part of its long range plans, the future use of the acreage on the property to build an indoor facility or a covered area for soccer games to augment the skills training of players, coaches, and referees. Property acquisition is scheduled for February 2000. Full development of the four -acre site will be phased over five years.

Domestic Violence Advocates promot& victim safety, abuser accountability, and community awareness through education, prevention, intervention and treatment. The Advocate Program serves as a victim's guide through the legal system. The DV Unit's goals are to aid in safety planning for victims, as well as to refer them to other agencies that are able to meet their specific needs, i.e. shelters and financial aid. Advocates also collect information that is useful and relevant to the case thereby assisting in the prosecution of the defendant batterers. The program also provides follow-up services to assure that the batterers are following court assigned treatment programs. Local Strategy and Rationale #3: Address human service needs which focus upon self-support systems that empower families and communities to make contributions to their own well-being and enhance the quality of their lives. The DV Unit processes approximately 55 cases every month at an average service rate of $18 per hour.

Currently there are only four dental clinics in South King County that have a sliding fee scale (fee scale is 10 percent -100 percent charge based on income) to uninsured patients. Of these, only the three CHCKC dental centers (in Federal Way, Auburn, and Kent) provide services to uninsured adults. Dental care for uninsured adults is a critical service gap in Federal Way, as the need for care is far greater than the supply of available dental appointments. The organization's highest priority is to make dental care available to families as part of their comprehensive primary care at our health centers. Priority is also given to adults with dental emergencies. These clients are seen within one to two working days. Local Strategy and Rationale #3: Address human service needs which focus upon self-support systems that empower families and communities to make contributions to their own well-being and enhance the quality of their lives. This project addresses the critical need for dental care services available to low- and moderate -income households. Funding is maintained near the 1999 level of $12,600.

The program provides necessary childcare for school -aged children while their parents are at work. These programs include before and after school care as well as summer childcare services. Administration of the program recently changed. From 1992 to 1998, the City of Federal Way Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department administered the program. As of January 1, 1999, the South King County Multi -Service Center assumed administration of the program, with the YMCA providing service delivery supervision. The agencies providing childcare for the CARES program include the YMCA, Medallion Children's Services, and Rainbow Connection. The program has sites in 11 Federal Way schools. Local Strategy and Rationale #3: Address human service needs which focus upon self-support systems that empower families and communities to make contributions to their own well-being and enhance the. quality of their lives. Affordable childcare is a critical need in the community. Although 39 percent of King County's children live in South County, this area has only 34 percent of the licensed child care slots. Childcare expenses typically claim over 25 percent of a low-income family's monthly income. Funding is maintained near 1999 funding level due to limited funds available.

The budget also includes CDBG program operating costs such as legal advertising, travel and training, and office supplies. The staff positions enable the Human Services Division to administer the annual CDBG allocation process; provide technical assistance to CDBG applicants; monitor the progress of CDBG recipients; and perform special research and planning activities. A small amount of the budget is reserved for planning costs that will be used to fund a consultant or intern to assist in the preparation of special research and planning activities. Activities may include developing a human services and housing guide for citizens, researching affordable housing strategies, or other special housing or human services projects identified by the Human Services Commission or City Council. Local Strategy and Rationale #3: ... Provide technical assistance, planning and administrative services to increase performance levels of CDBG program participants. Funding for personnel costs allows for coordination of the annual allocation process, project monitoring, and provision of technical assistance to CDBG applicants and recipients. Funding also allows for planning activities within the city that address the housing and community development needs of low- and moderate -income city residents.

The purpose of this grant is to help develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons. The City of Federal Way receives its CDBG allocation through the King County CDBG Consortium. The allocation is based upon the City's population and percentage share of low- and moderate income individuals. The City implements programs by contracting for services with its own departments or through area non-profit agencies. NATIONAL OBJECTIVES The Community Development Block Grant can be used to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and prodding improved community facilities and public services. The City funds CDBG programs by means of an annual application process. Each project or program proposal is measured against locally established goals and three nationally established objectives. The national objectives support activities that: • Benefit low- and moderate -income persons; • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such heeds (i.e. disaster recovery relief). In general, the City of Federal Way does not exhibit the characteristics necessary for a project to be justified under the second or third objectives. Therefore, the vast majority of the City's CDBG projects are justified under the first objective of low- and'moderate-income benefit. Source: Code of Federal Regulations Title 24, Part 570 (24 CFR 570) The criteria for how an activity may be considered to benefit low - and moderate -income persons are divided into four subcategories: • Those involving area benefit, • Those serving a limited clientele (i.e. the disabled or elderly), • Those involving housing, and • Those involving job creation or retention. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES Once a project meets a national objective, it must also qualify as an eligible activity under local and federal requirements. CDBG funds may be used for activities that include, but are not limited to: • Acquisition, disposition, or clearance of real property; • Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures; • Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, and neighborhood centers; • Direct human services; • Homeownership assistance programs; • Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources, and • Assistance to for-profit businesses to carry out neighborhood economic development or job creation or retention activities. IMPLEMENTION OF The City, as a CDBG recipient, can undertake activities directly, or ACTtymES can identify a sub -recipient to undertake activities. Sub -recipients are public or private non-profit agencies, authorities, or organizations. CDBG assistance to private for-profit businesses is allowed with the addition of an extra level of regulatory scrutiny and performance reporting. Exceptions to this rule include aid given to microenterprises (businesses employing less than five persons) and exterior rehabilitation of commercial buildings. EXAMPLES Since Federal Way incorporated, a wide variety of programs and projects have benefited from complete or partial CDBG funding. • Reconstruction of sidewalks for wheelchair accessibility • Transitional shelter for homeless women and children • Signalized pedestrian crgssing in a lower income neighborhood • Child care subsidy program • First time homeownership program • Domestic Violence Advocacy program • Public improvements in the International District • Home repair loan and grant program Source: Code of Federal Regulations Title 24, Part 570 (24 CFR 570) .,_ .• .. � .. _ .- � ., C..:.I�'�A'�JiiN-�i/e�JL'IS'w4'c IJ.}CIM"[I•L�'iM�i[fO CITY OF � v FF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOUR -TEAR STRATEGIES, 2000-2003 The Housing and Community Development Four -Year Strategies evolved from the 1993 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Local Program Policies. The strategies were developed in 1994 and updated in 1995. At that time they -were given a four-year term, from 1996 to 1999. They were revisited in 1998 and again in 1999. In May 1999, the strategies were renewed for another four year term, 2000 to 2003. These strategies provide guidelines for the allocation of CDBG funds and are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan developed under the Growth Management Act and the Human Services Comprehensive Plan. GOAL STATEMENT Service needs for City residents far outweigh the availability of resources. As a relatively newly incorporated jurisdiction with a large and diverse population, the City is faced with the challenge of providing services that address needs in the areas of affordable and special needs housing, human services and community development. The City will use CDBG funds to develop a viable community in which quality of life is enhanced by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income persons. OBJECTIVES ➢ To fund projects which address local needs and strategies ➢ To ensure that the basic human service needs of low- and moderate -income persons are addressed ➢ To adequately address the City's housing needs to accommodate projected growth in low- and moderate -income households, as well as senior and special needs populations ➢ To preserve the existing housing stock ➢ To stimulate economic development and strengthen the City's infrastructure Four -Year Strategies Page 2 of 5 NEEDS The City of Federal Way has identified housing and non -housing community development needs through public involvement activities, studies, needs assessments, and planning processes. Public and Community Facilities Improvements - Senior and Community Centers, Child Care Centers, Parks and Recreation Facilities, and Health and Social Services Facilities which predominantly serve low- and moderate -income persons and address severe health and safety problems. 2. Housing - Affordable housing for low- and moderate -income people, seniors, special needs populations, transitional housing and emergency shelters, and preservation of existing housing stock. 3. Accessibility - Modifications to community facilities and existing structures to remove barriers and improve safety conditions especially for elderly and disabled persons. 4. Infrastructure Improvement - Neighborhood revitalization projects such as Surface Water Improvements, Street, Sidewalk and Pedestrian Crossing Improvements, Transportation Improvements, and Street Lighting. 5. Public Services - Projects which meet the following City Council human services goals: ➢ support basic human needs through funding of emergency services; ➢ support a strong service delivery system that increases public safety; ➢ provides support that supplements federal, state, and county programs designed to increase self-sufficiency and independence; and ➢ support service models that improve community-based collaboration and build strong neighborhoods. 6. Planning and Administration - CDBG Program staffing and administration, planning for affordable housing resource development and potential annexation areas. is \bgge nral\bgstrats. doc Four -Year Strategies Page 3 of 5 STRATEGIES The City of Federal Way adopts the following three strategies to guide funding decisions for the annual Community Development Block Grant allocation. Strategy #I Develop a range of housing opportunities aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing to accommodate the projected growth in low- and moderate -income households. Create housing opportunities for seniors, youth, special needs groups and impact the availability of transitional housing and emergency shelters. ➢ Activity Preservation of housing stock in existing neighborhoods has been cited as an important community value in Federal Way, one which played a large role in the community's decision to incorporate. The City will maintain a Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program to maintain health and safety standards in the homes of low- and moderate - income households and persons with disabilities. ➢ Activity According to established service providers, suburban homelessness is increasing. There is a limited supply of transitional and emergency shelter facilities in South King County to meet this overwhelming need. The City will continue to support local and regional shelter and transitional housing service providers. The City will encourage and support more homelessness prevention services, including youth shelter services. ➢ Activity 3 The City will explore a variety of methods to increase the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate -income families. The City will: • Consider participating lin a South King County regional entity to address housing needs. Assess the value of pooling technical resources between jurisdictions to assist in the development and implementation of housing policies and programs. Look at the benefits of collaborative efforts to coordinate local government money and resources in a way that will attract greater private and not-for-profit investment into affordable housing. Consider funding homeownership programs such as downpayment assistance, sweat equity, homebuyer education, community land trust or those that reduce development costs or reduce mortgalges. is\bggenra1\bgstrats.doc Four -Year Strategies Page 4 of 5 Strategy #2 Prioritize and fund projects that strengthen the City's infrastructure and stimulate economic development. Fifteen percent (15%) of the annual CDBG allocation will be targeted toward projects categorized under this strategy. ➢ Activity 1 The City will seek opportunities for public funding of capital facilities, services and infrastructure by working with the Human Services Commission, and soliciting input from the Management Team. ➢ Activity 2 The City will consider funding public and community facilities improvement projects which address safety and accessibility issues particularly for the well-being of youth, elderly, and disabled persons. ➢ Activity 3 The City will consider funding projects which encourage community development activities such as job creation, downtown and neighborhood revitalization, and those activities consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Human Services Comprehensive Plan. ➢ Activity 4 The City will consider funding capital transportation improvement projects which connect low- and moderate -income housing areas with vital services in the City. Strategy #3 .Address human services needs which focus upon self-support systems that empower families and communities to make contributions to their own well-being and enhance the quality of their lives. Provide technical assistance, planning and administrative services to increase performance levels of CDBG program participants. ➢ Activity 1 The City recognizes that problems faced by children and their families are complex in nature and can result in dysfunction and tragedy if not addressed holistically. Solutions to complex. problems often require a variety of interactive approaches designed to create environments which provide people with the tools to help themselves. The City will fund projects and agencies with a holistic approach to service delivery and demonstrate the ability to leverage funds and network with other service providers. i:\bggenral\bgstrats.doc Four -Year Strategies Page 5 of 5 ➢ Activity 2 The social environment for youth is often volatile and filled with life-threatening circumstances. Collective efforts between local community organizations, the School District, and the City, may provide effective solutions that positively impact the young people in Federal Way. The City will consider funding projects which provide "at -risk" youth with more recreational and educational alternatives. The City will fund projects, and public service agencies which assist families with children in the areas of employment and youth services. ➢ Activity 3 The City will participate in regional and local planning activities with King County, the South King County Community Network Board, and other funders and jurisdictions to coordinate funding approaches, policies and service delivery which facilitate a continuum of care for people. ➢ Activity 4 Planning and administration funds will be used to administer the City's CDBG program and when additional planning funds are available, special planning projects will be considered. i:\bggenral\bgstrats.doc
