Gerwen, Parks & Facilities Manager RE: City Hall main entry doors and ADA accessible opener Financial implications: During the April budget adjustment Council approved funds to replace the City Hall and ADA accessible opener in the amount of $25,000. Background: The Parks & Facilities division has been aware that the front doors at City Hall and ADA accessible opener have been failing over the past couple of years. Facilities maintenance staff has responded to over two dozen work orders to resolve various issues with the automatic opener, hinges, threshold and the exit devices. We have had several different door companies out to assist staff to make repairs and keep them operational with varying success. We have made all of the repairs possible but are now out of options and run the risk of the doors completely failing which would leave City Hall unsecure. Therefore the doors now need to be replaced. Staff contacted several companies to request bid/quotes. Several of them were too busy, didn't want the work or did not return calls or respond. Of the two companies that submitted bids the price difference, ability and past history lead us to select HGR Glass & Construction to provide the materials and labor to install.

In accordance with the approved budget, this item is funded by a grant from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the anticipated amount of $691,143.00 per year and prior year resources in the amount of $157,722. The grant will fully reimburse the costs incurred by the City to carry out the projects or to reimburse subrecipients for expenses incurred in carrying out the projects. Background Information: In program year 2015, the City, as a member of the HOME Consortium with King County, began participation in the County's Consolidated Plan, resulting in the adoption of a new Consolidated Plan for the 2015-2019 program year period. Similarly, for 2020-2024, the City will continue to participate in the King County HOME Consortium with the City's 2020- 2024 Consolidated Plan submitted with the King County HOME Consortium Plan. Staff has updated the City -specific Consolidated Plan and has provided input for the housing portion of the HOME Consortium Plan, for which King county is responsible. The City's Consolidated Plan assesses needs and identifies goals and strategies for its CDBG program. The goals are mostly a continuation of the prior Consolidated Plan with one exception as addressing homelessness has been made into a separate goal for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The identified goals and strategies included in the Consolidated Plan are: 1. Expand Economic Opportunities a. Encourage the creation and growth of businesses; b. Increase opportunities for employment in jobs providing livable incomes; and c. Promote an environment that is attractive to both establishing new businesses and expanding existing businesses to create jobs and strengthen the economic base of the community with a plan that integrated with other City initiatives. Rev. 7/18 2. Preserve Affordable Housing a. Support homeownership focusing on programs that assist homeowners to retain and maintain their homes, and offer new homeowner opportunities; and b. Preserve existing affordable rental housing. 3. Prevent and Address Homelessness a. Provide emergency assistance to prevent homelessness; and b. Develop and/or support infrastructure and services to address homelessness. 4. Establish and Maintain Suitable Living Environments a. Provide an array of services to households to help them on the path toward self-sufficiency; b. Provide a safety net of services to stabilize households who are in crisis or at risk; and c. Provide public improvements or supports to build a vibrant community through facilities and activities while revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods Included in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is the 2020 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan is the annual work and spending plan for the City of Federal Way's CDBG funds from HUD. An Action Plan is required for each year of the Consolidated Plan program period. The PY 2020 Action Plan is for the first year of the Consolidated Plan program period and allocated $848,865, including $691,143 from the anticipated 2020 allocation and $157,722 from prior year resources. The Human Services Commission considered the Program Year 2020 Annual Action Plan at its regular meeting on September 16, 2019, and voted 9-0 to "recommend the City Council approve the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan as presented and that, in the event the 2020 annual grant amount from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is either less than or more than anticipated, staff is authorized to make appropriate pro rata adjustments to the categories of Public Services, Planning and Administration, and Community Economic Revitalization Funding (CERF) provided that amounts do not exceed the amount requested; and additionally, staff may make technical amendments to incorporate final performance measures from 2019."

Introduction The City of Federal Way Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan (Consolidated Plan) guides the investment of federal housing and community development funds, and other local funds. The City's Consolidated Plan is associated with the larger King County Consortium Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through which the City of Federal Way receives an annual entitlement, or formula grant, from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. These funds allocated to the City are used to address community development needs throughout Federal Way over the next five years, from 2020- 2024. As a participant in the King County HOME Consortium, the City of Federal Way has access to benefits of the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. The cities of Auburn, Bellevue, and Kent also participate in the Consortium for the use of HOME Investment Partnership Program funds for affordable housing. Data in the Consolidated Plan is based primarily on the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS) five-year data set. This data provides the most detailed and reliable information available on income, poverty, housing, housing cost burden, and other data. In certain cases, the most recent data and analysis is from 2011-2015 ACS. In these instances, data is compared from the same time period for consistency. ACS data has been supplemented in this Consolidated Plan with more recent data from surveys, interviews, public meetings, and other available data pertaining to housing and community development. The Consolidated Plan follows the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) standardized template, and each section contains questions framed by HUD. The Consolidated Plan incorporates findings and goals from the 2019 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The 9/6/2019 Update replaces the original. It includes language relating to incurring pre -award costs on page 72 as it is anticipated the federal government will pass a continuing resolution and CDBG budget allocations will be delayed. While the City will comply with the current deadlines of submittal on or before November 15, the included language allows pre -award costs to be incurred should the 2020 allocation be delayed. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 24 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The Consolidated Plan establishes local priorities consistent with national objectives and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The identified goals are in this Consolidated Plan are: • Expand economic opportunities - increase local opportunities and create jobs. • Preserve affordable housing - ensure access to healthy, safe, affordable housing for low- and moderate -income households throughout the City and advance fair housing to address discrimination. • Prevent and address homelessness - make homelessness rare, brief, and one-time and eliminate racial disparities. • Establish and maintain suitable living environments - create a healthy, integrated, and vibrant community by improving the well-being and mobility of low- and moderate -income residents through an array of services addressing basic needs and progress toward self-sufficiency. Strategies in the Consolidated Plan will be implemented with CDBG funds provided by HUD. Based on its 2019 formula allocation, the City estimates that approximately $691,143 in grant funds will be available annually, subject to annual federal appropriations. 3. Evaluation of past performance The City has been able to meet the needs of many low- and moderate -income households through its CDBG Program. Activities implemented under that arrangement have succeeded in: 1) meeting the needs of homeowners through its housing repair programs; 2) providing much needed services to help households to regain stability; and, 3) providing facilities and improvements to increase the quality of life. During the period of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Federal Way worked closely with the community, nonprofit agencies, the private sector, the State of Washington, HUD, the faith -based community, and the philanthropic community to make progress towards goals. From 2015 through 2018, the City of Federal Way reported in the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Reports (CAPERS): • 3 persons received support for housing repair and rehabilitation • 1,309 persons received assistance with public services including 139 persons who received employment training leading to 85 job placements • 231 persons received economic development -related assistance • One domestic violence shelter received critical repairs for security • Two homes were acquired as affordable housing Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 25 3 • One home was added as an adult home for individuals with disabilities • The Performing Arts and Event Center opened in 2017 In 2019, additional persons will receive needed public services and technical assistance for their businesses and the City anticipates assisting partners in completing up to 16 additional housing repair projects, rehabilitating an 86 -unit affordable housing complex, and acquiring one transitional housing unit. The City has also made progress in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) located in North Federal Way. Several of the projects above are in the area including homeowner rehab, the affordable housing rehabilitation, and a streetlight project. Additionally, the City collaborates with Build the Bridge, a group of organization representatives and community members that has a track record of successful place -based work. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City engaged the community prior to and during the development of the Consolidated Plan in order to receive input on community needs, barriers to fair housing, priorities, and potential strategies. Notices were on the City's website and emailed to partners and community stakeholders. The City, in conjunction with the Consortium, consulted with multiple public and private agencies during the development of Consolidated Plan. Agencies included King County Housing Authority, All Home King County, regional jurisdictions, other government human service providers, and nonprofit agencies delivering services to City residents in the City of Federal Way and the region. The City had a public participation process, as outlined below: • Notice of Funds Available for PY2020 CDBG Community Economic Revitalization Funds was published in the Federal Way Mirror on June 7, 2019. • Request for public comments and input was emailed to stakeholders and service agencies on August 30, 2019, seeking input through October 14, 2019. • A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Federal Way Mirror on August 30, 2019 notifying the community of public hearings to be held on September 16, 2019 and October 15, 2019 and to announce a 44 -day comment period on the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan. • Two open houses were included in the notice; an open house was held on September 12, 2019 and a second will be held on October 1, 2019 to provide an overview and receive input on the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. • A public hearing was held on September 16, 2019, before the Human Services Commission, to receive input on the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan. • A public hearing will be held on October 15, 2019, before the Federal Way City Council, to receive input on the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and the 2015 Annual Action Plan.

Introduction Consultation and citizen participation are important elements of the plan and its implementation. The City follows and regularly updates the Citizen Participation Plan for the City of Federal Way Consolidated Plan to guide the process, provide opportunities for citizen involvement throughout the development of the Plan, and provide input for the implementation and program evaluation phases in future years. During the process of developing the Plan, organizations (both public and private) were consulted and local groups participated in providing input on needs and proposed strategies. The City of Federal Way is an active partner and participant in local and regional community development and human services efforts. The City engages in ongoing coordination between other cities in South King County having common interests and needs for community development, as well as public policy organizations, housing providers, health providers, service agencies, and faith -based organizations that are extensively involved in providing support to low- and moderate -income persons and households, as well as people experiencing homelessness. The City also works with other members of the King County Consortium (Consortium) to conduct and participate in ongoing meetings with each other, stakeholders, public housing authorities (PHAs), including the King County Housing Authority, and for the Continuum of Care, nonprofit housing and service providers, members of the Housing Development Consortium of Seattle -King County, Public Health Department of Seattle and King County, Puget Sound Regional Council, South King County Human Services Planners, and the Washington State Department of Commerce. This coordination takes place regularly and informs recommendations for decision making bodies such as the City's Human Services Commission. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). The City of Federal Way participates in both local and regional approaches and engages in ongoing coordination between other jurisdictions, housing and homeless services providers, health providers, and service agencies. The collaboration includes monthly human services planners meetings and participation in numerous formal and informal regional collaborations such as the Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC), South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP), the Affordable Housing Committee (AHC), and AHC's Housing Interjurisdictional Team (HUT). The City is also a member of the King County Human Services Funder Collaborative, which provides a more streamlines process for human service agencies and increase collaboration and alignment, when appropriate, between cities. This coordination is ongoing throughout the year and, along with other community engagement and public meetings, informs the development of the Consolidated Plan and the decision- making of groups such as the Human Services Commission. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 29 Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The City of Federal Way coordinates with All Home King County (All Home), which has been designated by the King County Council as the Continuum of Care (CoC) for King County. All Home is a local organization created to work with service providers and advise local government on the creation of a local homeless housing plan and to participate in a local homeless housing program. Federal Way works with King County and other communities in the Consortium to provide input to All Home on local and sub -regional issues and needs regarding homelessness and housing and services for people experiencing homelessness. Since 2016, King County and All Home have implemented Coordinated Entry for All (CEA) for persons experiencing homelessness and has been refining the system since then. National research indentifies coordinated entry as a key component for an effective homeless system as it improces the quality of client screening and assessment, matches clients to appropriately targeted services and resources, and promotes a more efficient use of resources. CEA utilizes a common assessment tool based on vulnerability and severity of service needs to ensure people who need the service the most receive it in a timely manner. In addition, CEA has established regional access points serving as the primary "front door" for the homeless housing system; one of the regional access points is in Federal Way with the Multi -Service Center as the provider. The City also works with collaborative efforts such as the South King County Homelessness Action Team. These collaborations look at addressing regional needs in sustainable ways and by carrying out evidence based- and/or best practice models. In 2018, the City of Federal Way established a Homelessness Task Force to evaluate and make recommendations to address homelessness in Federal Way. City Council has also set homelessness as one of its top priorities and is engaging in conversations on how to move forward with the task force recommendations. The City also provided grant funds in 2019 to FUSION, a local nonprofit serving homeless families, as they move forward in acquiring property to establish a permanent family shelter located in Federal Way. The City provides both CDBG and local funds to agencies that serve chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. In addition, Federal Way is fortunate to have numerous faith -based organizations that provide regular services and support to people experiencing homelessness in our community. This includes meals, overnight shelter during the cold months, and shower and laundry services. The City also uses general fund dollars to fund the Reach Out winter shelters for homeless men and women as well as a year-round day shelter.

The City of Federal Way regularly collaborates with King County and All Home and maintains a close working relationship with other communities, especially those in South King County, to provide input. This input includes discussions on performance standards and the implementation of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), King County also administers.

Table 3— Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(1)) A wide range of groups and organizations participated in the process including public funders from State of Washington, King County, and other local jurisdictions. Additionally, the jurisdictions participating in the HOME Consortium coordinate closely with each other and participate in a wide range of standing and one-time meetings with city planners, housing, and service providers for the purpose of aligning efforts when possible and reasonable to do so. The City of Federal Way works with the State of Washington and King County in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan through participation on committees, review panels, boards, and planning groups. The City coordinates funding opportunities where possible with other jurisdictions and works with state and county funders to assist non-profit organizations in developing funding packages to provide housing for people experiencing homelessness and those at -risk of becoming homeless.

The City is home to 94,905 residents (2013-17 ACS). It has grown around transportation and residential or retail development supported the needs of residents who commuted to neighboring industrial and urban areas for employment. Similar to other communities around the 1-5 corridor, the high mobility is a benefit and a challenge. The City has a very diverse population. About half (52%) of the population is Hispanic and/or a race other than white alone. Of 89,000 people over age 5, 34% speak a language other than English in the home and the school district reports 120 languages spoken by students. While diversity is an asset, inability to speak English can be a barrier, especially to those who might be isolated by need, age, disability, or other circumstance. Additionally, growing diversity highlights the need for services to be culturally responsive with values of equity and inclusion. The City's median household income (2013-2017 ACS) was $62,086 —just 74% of the median of King County ($83,571) as a whole. Twenty-five percent of households had incomes less than $35,000 annually. Most workers commute out of the City. While housing costs are lower in Federal Way than many areas in the region, studies show the cost of commuting can offset lower housing costs. The Center for Neighborhood Technology calculates that Federal Way households spend an average of 44% of income on housing and commuting. In-depth economic development analysis is provided in section MA -45. The 2019 Point in Time count found 11,199 people experiencing homelessness in King County, of whom 124 were unsheltered in Federal Way. This underestimates the number of persons experiencing homelessness because the count does not calculate the number of unique individuals and families experiencing homeless throughout the year. Services from emergency shelters through permanent supportive housing as well as services to intervene and prevent homelessness are inadequate. Systems of cooperating agencies and volunteers are unable to meet the overwhelming number of calls for assistance. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 43 For instance, during the first half of 2018, Mary's Place—which operates the call-in line for families experiencing homelessness—received 54 calls for emergency shelter from Federal Way families. Of these, only 19 were able to get shelter. The remaining 65% could not access shelter, exposing them to the dangers that come with homelessness. People experiencing homelessness have shorter lifespans when compared with the general population, and are at greater risk of chronic health problems, injury, and death. For 2018, the King County Medical Examiner reported that the South King County region (which includes Federal Way) saw 21% of deaths of people experiencing homelessness countywide. This was second only to Seattle, which saw 63% of such deaths. Of the 40 deaths in South King County, at least 10 deaths were of people experiencing homelessness in Federal Way. People in Federal Way also have special needs including visual, auditory, ambulatory, and cognitive disabilities as well as difficulty with self-care and independent living tasks. Of the nearly 11,000 Federal Way residents over age 16 who have a disability, about 30% were below 150% of the federal poverty level, in contrast to about 18% of those without a disability. Over 70% are not in the labor force. Over 40% of those with a disability who did work earned less than $25,000 annually (ACS 2013-17). Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 22 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 44 NA -50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: There are facilities owned and/or operated by public and nonprofit organizations that are located within the City of Federal Way, as well as numerous agencies with offices elsewhere in South King County that support City residents. These include, but are not limited to, the following: • Multi -Service Center • Catholic Community Services • Domestic Abuse Women's Network (DAWN) • Valley Cities Counseling & Consultation • HealthPoint • Seattle -King County Public Health • Franciscan Hospital • King County Library System • City of Federal Way Community Center The City has and continues to study needs for infrastructure to address homelessness. The City is home to Reach Out, a shelter that operates from October through March and services singles adult men and women. A day center opened in 2016 for adults with limited hours for families. A family shelter is in development with support via a pass through grant from the City, and large capital investments from the State and King County. However, the City and the surrounding region in South King County lacks necessary infrastructure to address increasing homelessness, which has been identified as both a top concern and priority by City Council and residents. The Mayor's Task Force on Homelessness concluded in winter of 2018 and City Council is reviewing recommendations to create a strategic plan of action. Additionally, the City participates in ongoing regional conversations and efforts to expand infrastructure to address homelessness in South King County potentially including one or more enhanced, 24 Hour - Emergency Shelters or other models. Siting of such a shelter or shelters will include many factors as not one city is likely going to be able to sustain such a service alone. Accessibility will become a key factor. Medical respite is another need that existing human service organizations are not able to address. People often exit emergency rooms and hospitals with nowhere to go and end up in emergency shelters or on the street. Public Health of Seattle -King County's Mobile Medical Team continues to see increasingly worsening medical conditions that would be preventable with medical respite care. The City has a relatively young population, with about 34% of its residents under the age of 25 compared to 29% countywide (American Community Survey, 2013-17). Additionally, unemployment is higher for Federal Way residents age 16-24 than the County as a whole and educational attainment is lower for both high school and bachelors degrees. Combined with retail representing the second highest business sector in Federal Way, these statistics indicate a need for creating additional education and Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 45 employment training and opportunities for youth and young adults. This could include a center such as the Tacoma Reach Center or similar model. The City has also experienced changing racial and ethnic composition. As diversity increases, the development of facilities should be approached with this in mind to create places that are culturally relevant, equitable, and inclusive. The City may use CDBG capital funds for public facility improvements and infrastructure updates. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis, readiness of projects, and afunding availability. How were these needs determined? The determination of needs is an ongoing process based upon monitoring, reporting, and consultation with agencies supported by the City, as well as community conversations and input that takes place at public meetings, the Human Services Commission, and City Council. A variety of data sources were also considered as part of determing the needs. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The City does not anticipate using CDBG funds for public improvements; public improvement needs are supported by other City funds. How were these needs determined? Public improvement needs within the City are determined by elected and appointed officials, city staff, community input, and life cycle. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: The City has experienced population growth of about 8.6% since 2010 and changes in demographics from race, ethnicity, income, educaiton, languages, and other categories. The increase in the number of residents living in poverty or with low- and moderate -incomes has increased the demand for services while nonprofits continue to report limited resources and capacity to meet the need. The 2017 Self Sufficiency Standard for South King County for a one adult and two child home is $68,625 annually and for a two adult and two child home, it is $74,083 annually. The City's median income is $62,086, falling short of both standards. Coupled with increasing rents and local economic growth that has not kept pace with the region specifically income growth, such growth increases the inequities locally presenting further challenges to residents that have low- to moderate -income. Additionally, the City participated with the Consortium in having fair housing testing completed. The testing found that individual -level discrimination was present and ongoing in King County, the City being no exception. About half of field-testing found evidence of this discrimination and as did 60% of the Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 46 tests in the City. The sample size was small and restricted primarily by budget, but also due to the time it takes to conduct such testing. As the City becomes more diverse, this discrimination and disproportionate housing needs and access to opportunity in South King County present a growing challenge. As mentioned above in relation to public facilities, the larger youth and young adult population and statistics on employment and education rates for this population indicate a need for continued investment in public services for youth and young adults. This need has also been affirmed by residents, stakeholders, and the City. One of the most pressing needs for public services continues to be services to address homelessness. The need includes prevention, shelter, housing, and services to increase stability. Youth services are also identified as a high need within the City. The City anticipates using the full 15% of its CDBG allocation to support public services programs over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. How were these needs determined? The public services needs were determined using demographic information, needs assessments, unemployment rates, social service agency information, and public input. Additionally, City staff participate in regular meetings and events where human services needs and potential solutions are the primary focus of discussion. The determination to use the full federally allowed amount of CDBG funds for public services projects was determined in consultation with nonprofit organizations, stakeholders, and community leaders, as well as historical demand, which always outstrips the funding available. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 47 Housing Market Analysis MA -05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: The Market Analysis Section covers areas of non -housing community development within the City of Federal Way. King County's Consolidated Plan has a substantial housing market analysis including the City. However, the City is including a brief housing market analysis in this overview as it pertains to many of the strategies for achieving affordable housing and suitable living environments. The American Community Survey (ACS, 2013-17) estimated that the national vacancy rate is 1.7 for homeowner units and 6.1 for rental vacancies. In Federal Way, those figures are 2.0 and 3.8, respectively. Of 36,435 housing units, 57% are single family, 39% multifamily, and 4% mobile homes. According to the ACS, about 54% of households renting a unit in Federal Way paid 30% or more of income toward rent. Average rent in the city is about $1,400 per month as of April 2019. This is a 4% increase from April 2018 and a 34% increase since April 2014. In order to afford rent and living expenses in South King County in 2017, two adults and two children would need an annual household income of nearly $82,000, according to the University of Washington. However, the median household income in Federal Way was just over $62,000. Average rent has been trending upward for the past five years. If this trend continues, average rent could increase by 16% to over $1,600 in 2024. Additionally, the median value of owner -occupied units was $280,700 (2017), a 17% increase over the median of $242,800 in 2014. Should that trend continue, median values could reach around $350,000 in 2024. Almost all of the housing was constructed after 1959 (93%). Even so, about 46% of homes were built in 1979 or earlier. As about 75% of housing built before 1978 is subject to lead-based paint hazard disclosure, an estimated 13,000 units in Federal Way may have lead-based paint. Most of the housing stock is in average (52%) or good (29%) condition according to the King County Assessor's residential building quality data, in the three zip codes that overlap with Federal Way. 11% range from poor to the lowest grade currently meeting code. Rising housing costs and low vacancy rates make finding affordable housing an ongoing challenge, highlighting the need to preserve affordable housing, maintain the quality of public- and privately - owned affordable housing, and look at developing new affordable housing, particularly units affordable to extremely low-income households. Per adopted growth targets, 12% of the housing supply should be affordable to households at or below 30% of the area median income. As of April 30, 2019, only about 2% of units were affordable for this population. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 26 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Public policies, such as tax structures, can create barriers for a city to foster affordable housing. The state does not have an income tax, which burdens lower income households. Meanwhile, cities have limited budgets as, without the benefit of a statewide income tax, they must turn to property and sales taxes to fund competing needs. The state has a cap on annual property tax increases. As the City of Federal Way has a low property tax rate, the City has no ability to catch up to neighboring cities and has lower revenue as a result. This leaves little power for the City to heavily impact the development or preservation of affordable housing. Recent state legislation allows cities to recapture small portions of sales taxes and use them toward affordable housing. For Federal Way, that would amount to hundreds of thousands in a given year while affordable housing developments cost millions to build. Through collaborations, such as South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership, cities may pool resources regionally to create a steady stream of affordable housing development.

As housing costs increase in the City of Seattle and its immediate surrounding communities, more households are moving further and deeper into South King County, as well as other areas, where housing has been slightly more affordable. While South King County may be relatively more affordable than Seattle, about 38% of households in Federal Way pay more than 30% of their income toward housing costs (ACS 13-17). Census block groups with a concentration—defined as 10% above the overall percentage in the City—of these cost -burdened households are seen across the city, in North Federal Way, the Mirror Lake area west of the downtown, southern areas of the downtown, the Westway neighborhood, and nearby areas in west and southwest Federal Way to the city limits. Of about 7,600 units in these 11 block groups, about 4,200 or 55% are cost -burdened. With the high cost of renting in King County, households will often "double -up" to reduce the financial impact of housing. This can be characterized by HUD as overcrowding (more than one person per any room, not only bedrooms). ACS 13-17 indicates that in Federal Way about 5% --or about 1,700—of nearly 35,000 occupied housing units are overcrowded.

ACS 13-17 indicates that in Federal Way about 5% --or about 1,700—of nearly 35,000 occupied housing units are overcrowded. Concentrations of overcrowding can be seen in just Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 62 four block groups—one in the Star Lake area of North Federal Way and the other three in the central/western part of the city around the Adelaide -Mirror Lake areas. In these block groups, of about 2,000 households therein, 25% (511) are overcrowded. Another housing problem is lacking complete plumbing facilities. ACS 13-17 estimates that about 0.2% of Federal Way housing units fall into this category. This is less than 100 units. There is no block group in Federal Way that has a concentration (>10.2%) of housing units that lack complete plumbing facilities. There is one block group in Federal Way showing a concentration of overcrowded and cost -burdened households. This is a block group of about 500 housing units in the southern portion of the Mirror Lake area. Of these, 260 (52%) are cost -burdened. About 22% have more than one person per room in the household. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") An examination of census block groups in Federal Way city limits shows where there are concentrations—defined as 10% above the overall percentage in the city—of racial/ethnic minorities or low/moderate income (LMI) households. These are block groups wherein at least 50% were racial minorities, at least 27% were Hispanic, and at least 63% were LMI. There are 25 such block groups in the city. Of these, 21 fall in and around the State Route 99 (Pacific Highway South or SR -99) transportation corridor, roughly bound to the north/northwest by State Route 509 and to the east by Interstate 5. The other four block groups lie in south/southwest Federal Way.

SR -99 Corridor: The areas of the SR -99 corridor with concentrations of racial/ethnic minorities or LMI households include 21 census block groups out of the 25 citywide that show these concentrations. The 21 block groups in this part of the SR -99 corridor consist of several neighborhoods, such as the downtown and northern Federal Way. The latter includes a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). Both the NRSA and the downtown are the subject of the City's ongoing efforts and attention to rehabilitate and improve the quality of life of those neighborhoods. In these 21 block groups, there were about 33,000 people (ACS 2011-15). About 49% were racial minorities, and about 23% identified as Hispanic. According to HUD's most recent data available (using ACS 2011-15), about 70% of the population was low- or moderate income. This is nearly 23,000 people. Compared to many cities, Federal Way housing is relatively new, with 54% built after 1980 (ACS 2013- 17). Similarly, in this part of the SR -99 corridor, about 45% of structures were built before 1980. A visual review of the housing stock reveals that the primary need relative to condition of housing is the result of deferred maintenance, which in some cases has left properties in need of major repair. Many homes and rentals need minor repairs to maintain the integrity of the housing. Manufactured homes in the area are in need of energy/safety improvements. The lack of financial resources is a major barrier for many of the area's homeowners, especially for seniors. Paint and fix up of housing and yards is needed to build neighborhood and homeowner pride. South/Southwest Federal Way: The other four block groups that have LMI or racial/ethnic minority concentrations are in south/southwest Federal Way. There were about 7,000 people (ACS 2011-15) in these block groups. About 40% were racial minorities and 37% identified as Hispanic. According to HUD's most recent data available (using ACS 2011-15), about 70% of the population was low- or moderate income. This was about 5,000 people. About 38% of structures in this area, which includes the Westway neighborhood, were built before 1980. In the past 20 years, Westway has been among the foci of stabilization and revitalization efforts within the city. As recently as 2011, the City received nearly $1.7 million in HUD Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds through the Washington State Department of Commerce to acquire troubled properties and, upon rehabilitation, sell them to low- and moderate income households. The City worked with Habitat for Humanity to acquire and rehabilitate these homes. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? SR -99 Corridor: Assets in the SR -99 corridor area include the downtown with all of its redevelopment and revitalization projects (see MA -45), such as Town Square (phases I-IV). The area includes the current transit center and the future light rail stations that will connect Federal Way to the rest of the major employment and business markets in the region. The downtown itself is a major regional destination for retail, dining, and entertainment in South King County, particularly with the Performing Arts and Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 42 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 64 Entertainment Center (PAEC). Commercial shopping centers anchored by supermarket chains, as well as smaller strip malls, are seen in the downtown and also throughout the corridor. There are education and recreation assets in the corridor. Schools located in the area include: Adelaide Elementary, Lake Grove Elementary, Mark Twain Elementary, Mirror Lake Elementary, Panther Lake Elementary, and Federal Way High School. Natural areas include 17 -acre Laurelwood Park, Steel Lake Park, French Lake Park, Fishers Pond Park, Celebration Park, and Town Square Park. In addition to transportation, commercial, educational, and recreational assets, several government and private organizations provide services in and/or targeted at the NRSA and surrounding areas in the corridor. Multi -Service Center provides food security and rental assistance/homelessness prevention. Highline College Small Business Development Center helps residents therein to start their own businesses, including microenterprises. Habitat for Humanity helps low income residents with home repairs and improvements. The City's home repair program also provides home repair services in this area. South/Southwest Federal Way: The City has worked collaboratively with Habitat for Humanity of King County in the Westway Neighborhood. The City began working with Habitat for Humanity during the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP3). As a result, Habitat for Humanity purchased and renovated 10 homes in the neighborhood; thus providing 10 families with homeownership and beginning to improve conditions in the area. Though the NSP3 project has been completed, the City and Habitat for Humanity continue to seek ways to partner on home renovations and improvements in the neighborhood. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The northern portion of the SR -99 corridor in Federal Way includes the NRSA area. Since 2017, this has been an area of resource investment that includes CDBG funding for housing repair and rehabilitation, capital improvements, entrepreneurship, and job creation. Going forward, there are strategic opportunities as these efforts lead to more residential involvement and a sense of ownership among those living in the NRSA and, more broadly, northern Federal Way. For example, in late 2019 the City will work with the Build the Bridge coalition—a violence prevention group—and faith groups in the area to convene a roundtable regarding civic engagement and community identity in northern Federal Way. The aforementioned developments in and around the downtown will present strategic opportunities not only for those who live in the neighborhood. The interest and investment which redevelopment spurs will benefit all of Federal Way through services and amenities brought in by new businesses, job creation, and revenue generation to fund more municipal services (including human services). The City will continue to evaluate the potential of additional place -based investments in areas identified in this section. The readiness for such investments will be balanced with available resources. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 65 Strategic Plan SP -05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The Strategic Plan is the part of the Consolidated Plan where the City's goals, objectives, and strategies designed to make progress towards achieving those goals and objectives are outlined. Most of the strategies have output targets based on the funding anticipated to be available over the course of the Consolidated Plan from 2020-2024. If funding changes during the five-year period, the City may amend the output targets. As a result of assessing the needs and resources and the community consultation process, the following needs were identified as the highest needs for continued focus. They served as guides in the development of goals and strategies to meet them: • Create opportunities for a diverse employee base to live and work in Federal Way by increasing the connectivity of affordable housing, transportation, and employment centers. • Expand programs and activities which enhance the opportunity for low- and moderate -income persons to become more self-sufficient and to increase income to "livable wage" levels. • Consider the potential for stimulating jobs and economic development in the programming of all housing, public services, neighborhood improvement, and public facilities activities. • Seek to provide safety net services for populations with significant barriers, with a particular focus on persons experiencing homelessness, until they are able to reach the goal of self- sufficiency. The identified goals are largely a continuation of the prior Consolidated Plan though homelessness has been moved to its own goal as CDBG and the data systems has specific tracking of progress in addressing homelessness. The four goals are: 1. Expand Economic Opportunities 2. Preserve Affordable Housing 3. Prevent and Address Homelessness 4. Establish and Maintain Suitable Living Environments The Strategic Plan covers the following topics: • Geographic Priorities: The City has a current and approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area in North Federal Way. Work will continue in that area, but the bulk of the strategies will be City wide. • Priority Needs: Four priority needs have been identified and will be described. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 44 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 66 • Anticipated Resources: The City has identified CDBG funding and the City's Human Services General Funding as resources available throughout the Consolidated Plan. The City's general fund grants contribute to several of the goals and focus on meeting a wide array of needs for many residents. • Institutional Delivery Structure: This section identifies some of the organizations that will carry out the objectives. Additionally organizations may be added throughout the course of the five years. • Goals: An explanation is provided including strategies and proposed accomplishments and outcomes, as displayed in the Goal Outcome Indicators template. • Lead -Based Paint Hazards: This outlines the proposed actions to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards. • Anti -Poverty Strategies: This section will summarize the City's goals, programs, and policies for reducing poverty. • Monitoring: The standards and procedures are included for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the extensive program, planning, and federal regulations and requirements.

The exception to this is the area north of the downtown. This area is the focus of the City's Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area and corresponding plan, which was approved in 2016. As part of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, this area will continue to be targeted for services and improvements in accordance with the goals and strategies of the NRSA plan.

While the City's median income has increased, it has not kept pace with that of the region or increasing housing costs. Additionally, while the local median income has increased, it has not kept pace with the regional area median income growth and remains significantly lower. At the same time, the City is in a unique position for near -future growth as light rail expands into the City and the downtown continues to be a focus of economic investment. With continued planning and strategic investment in economic opportunities, the City and its residents stand to benefit from the growth. Basis for Economic development and job growth are the number one priority for the City Relative of Federal Way. The belief is that economic opportunity for low- and moderate - Priority income households is critical to helping families become and stay self-sufficient. The City's use of CDBG funds is directly tied to supporting business and job opportunities for the populations targeted by the CDBG program Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 69 2 Priority Need Affordable Housing Name Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Large Families Families with Children Elderly Public Housing Residents Chronic Homelessness Individuals Families with Children Mentally III Chronic Substance Abuse veterans Persons with HIV/AIDS Victims of Domestic Violence Elderly Frail Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Persons with Alcohol or Other Addictions Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families Victims of Domestic Violence Geographic Areas Affected Associated Preserve Affordable Housing Goals Description The City of Federal Way will engage in housing activities, collaborations, and partnerships to enhance opportunities for the creation and preservation of affordable housing. During the course of the Consolidated Plan, funding may be prioritized for coordination with the approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area in North Federal Way. The city will plan for and support fair housing strategies and initiatives designed to affirmatively further fair housing choice and to increase access to housing and housing programs. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 70 Basis for The City of Federal Way continues to experience an increase in its population, Relative number of households, housing costs, and median income. Priority Although household numbers and median income continues to increase, the City continues to experience housing problems and an increasing housing need for its residents, which is common throughout the South King County region. South King County has experienced consistently increasing housing costs over the past five years contributing to housing instability and housing cost burdens for low- to moderate -income households. Residents who are low- or extremely -low income suffer from cost burdens greater than 30-50% for both renters and homeowners and other housing problems such as overcrowding and substandard living conditions. These cost burdens can result in eviction, foreclosure and even homelessness for many families. To address these issues the city intends to support programs offered by agencies that provide services to alleviate financial crisis, establish financial stability, address barriers to fair housing choice, and prevent eviction or homelessness. The city will also continue to provide home repair services for low- to moderate -income homeowners in the community.

The goal is to develop a coordinated homeless system grounded in best practices and/or evidence based programming. Components of the regional system include the principle of housing first; investment in projects that ensure households experiencing homelessness from all sub -populations are treated with dignity and respect, return to permanent housing as quickly as possible, receive strength -based services, and move from temporary homelss housing as rapidly as possible; and receive only what they need to return to housing quickly while being as self-reliant as possible. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 72 Basis for Homelessness is an issue that increasingly is affecting communities including the Relative City of Federal Way and the surrounding region. As housing costs have increased, Priority so have the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. It is difficult to accurtely estimate the number of individuals who experience homelessness in a given year, let alone those who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. The most accurate data available is the Point In Time coordinated by All Home King County. While the data is imperfect and undercounts the number of persons experiencing homelessness, it is a snapshot of what occurred on January 25, 2019. It is important to note that the count does not represent the number of persons who experience homelessness over the course of the year. The 2019 count estimated 11,199 individuals were experiencing homelessness on the day of the count. Of those 11,199, 124 individuals were unsheltered in the City of Federal Way. This number does not include Federal Way residents who were engaged in shelter services or other homeless housing. While the count of unsheltered persons in Federal Way has remained relatively stable since the new count methodlolgy in 2017, homelessness continues to be a focus and priority for the City and residents as there are other indicators that homelessness has increased and gaps in necessary services continue to exist locally and regionally. Shared outcomes with King County and the local Continuum of Care include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) reduce the number of households becoming homeless; 2) reduce the length of time that households are homeless; 3) increase the rate of exits to permanent housing; and 4) reduce the number of households that re-enter the homeless system after exit to permanent housing.

Gaps: • There is a shortage of homeless shelters and homeless housing opportunities in Federal Way and the region. • Affordable housing continues to be a challenge with the need exceeding the supply in Federal Way and the region. • Veterans services are primarily located in Seattle, Renton, and Pierce County. • Services to address education, employment, and general needs of youth and young adults. The Multi -Service Center opened the William J. Woods veteran's housing project in Federal Way to serve low-income and homeless veterans. The project opened in 2016 and has 44 one-, two- and, three- bedroom units that exclusively house veterans and their families. This will help alleviate veteran homelessness in Federal Way and King County. Federal Way makes numerous efforts to fill gaps in services throughout the region by supporting emergency service and other supportive service programs. However, as the need for emergency services grows along with the number of residents in the city, the community has experienced a decrease in funding for supportive services making accessibility more challenging for those in need. Housing prices for both homeownership and renting have increased. The area median income has also increased. However, while Federal Way's median income has increased, it has not growth at the same rate. This results in housing that is considered affordable based on the area median income, but may be unattainable and result in residents paying a higher percentage of their income toward housing.

The Federal Way Home Repair and Rehabilitation Program (and other residential rehabilitation activities the City may undertake) will fully comply with lead-based paint hazards requirements. In the design of housing repair and rehabilitation activities, the City will set standards and procedures to inspect and test properties as appropriate and develop a checklist for site inspections. This will apply to all residential units and homes constructed prior to 1978, as required. The City will utilize lead -certified contractors in inspection and rehabilitation programs. Homes testing positive for lead-based paint or identified as having lead hazards will be stabilized or abated consistent with HUD guidelines by certified contractors. The City will actively promote safe lead practices. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The actions mentioned above will apply to all residential units and homes constructed prior to 1978, as required. The City will utilize lead -certified contractors in inspection and rehabilitation programs and require this for all subrecipients and contractors. The City actively promotes safe lead practices, including guidance and requirements in our Home Repair Program policies. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 68 90 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP -70 Anti -Poverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan focuses on meeting the needs of low- and moderate -income persons. Within that group are persons living in poverty, persons more vulnerable than other lower- income groups because of their extremely limited resources. Twelve percent of Federal Way families live in poverty. The City's long-term goal is to reduce the percentage of families living in poverty and increase family independence. Among the City's goals is the creation of jobs at livable wages. CDBG resources will be used for critical supportive services. Some services are designed to provide a safety net for families and individuals so they achieve stabilization. Other services provide opportunities for persons to strengthen living skills, reduce debt, build assets, and achieve career progression in order to reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency. The City cannot accomplish the task of reducing poverty alone. Financial assistance from the federal, state and county sources will be critical to success as is the collaborative strength of the regional environment in which Federal Way operates. Coordination with the King County Housing Authority, a variety of nonprofit social services agencies, local educational institutions, faith -based organizations, the business community and the surrounding cities and the County is essential. The City actively seeks and continues to work toward alignment with regional plans and working toward results -based framework and outcomes to move the City from a crisis response model to one that includes more prevention - based services and opportunities for residents. As noted previously, the City invests over $500,000 of its general fund in support of services to low- and moderate -income persons and households, including persons experiencing homelessness. The general fund grant program has been in existence for more 20 years and the investment has increased. Over time, more programs that are preventative or seek to assist households in changing their situations have sought funding through the grant program. The City continues to explore the best avenues for supporting and encouraging a range of services from those addressing urgent crises and basic needs to others that build skills, education, career opportunities, and financial literacy. Additionally, the City of Federal Way promotes increased opportunities for a range of housing choices and costs to meet diverse needs. This includes promotion of higher densities, particularly in areas close to transit and amenities, such as those available in retail centers. The City offers an affordable housing density bonus for development requiring rental housing developments of 25 units or more to provide affordable housing units in exchange for allowing additional units. Incentives in the downtown include a tax exemption which encourages both density and affordability. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 91 How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan The City invests its CDBG resources into a variety of programs that seek to reduce the number of families and individuals living in poverty. CDBG-funded public services will provide the supports mentioned above. The housing repair program will help stabilize families by decreasing housing costs and improving safety, while helping households to maintain an important asset. Finally, the City's Community Economic Revitalization activities will provide direct benefits to persons through job creation and through assistance to microenterprises owned by low- and moderate -income persons. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 70 92 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP -80 Monitoring - 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements The City of Federal Way has established effective mechanisms for ensuring compliance with federal and non-federal requirements as well as contract and programmatic goals are achieved. Internal processes include the development of ongoing compliance with comprehensive planning for the CDBG program. Staff regularly read new CPD notices and participate in training to ensure high-level program compliance. For internal projects, the City has established internal controls including financial and programmatic policies. The City's Community Services Division has primary responsibility for ensuring compliance and monitors projects in a manner similar to subrecipient projects. The Community Services Division has established a subrecipient monitoring manual that guides the City in ensuring compliance with requirements of the CDBG program. Staff primarily utilize HUD Monitoring Guidelines in establishing areas to be monitored, focusing on compliance with HUD and other applicable federal regulations as well as ensuring funds are spent in a timely manner. Contract compliance, eligibility, record keeping, and performance in meeting anticipated outcomes will also be key components of monitoring. In monitoring subrecipients, the City plans to use the following five tools: • Program policies • Contractual obligations of grant recipients • Reports • Audits • Desk and on-site monitoring The City intends to maintain frequent contact with the funded agencies. Prior to the beginning of each year, the City will prepare a brief plan/schedule of monitoring activities. This will include plans for on- site and/or desk monitoring of all public services grants. Other CDBG-funded activities will be monitored using risk factors to determine the schedule. The City supports and seeks ways to engage minority businesses. When procuring services and contractors, the City reference the Washington State Minority and Women's Business Enterprises directory and encourages subrecipients to do the same in procurement. Additionally, the City has established business and microenterprise technical assistance as an important strategy to engage minority-owned businesses and encourage the establishment or growth of such businesses. Current microenterprise programs include non-English speaking and immigrant outreach components designed to meet the City's diverse needs.

The City looked to its own initiatives and goals to determine how to best build on efforts already underway which could impact the economic problems affecting low- and moderate -income persons. This has led the City to develop strategies with a focus on economic revitalization activities and job creation, safety net/self-sufficiency services, and protecting/enhancing housing owned or rented by low- and moderate -income households. In order to continue services helping populations who are risk, the City allocated the maximum possible to services that have proven to be effective in the past. The City placed a significant amount of the resources into the economic development activities for job creation and allocated funding for microenterprise technical assistance; and, in order to begin working on affordable housing needs, identified funds to maintain owner -occupied housing. Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 78 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 100 The City has chosen to place 100% of program funds toward activities which primarily benefit low- and moderate- income households and will assure that a minimum of 70% of program resources will benefit low- and moderate -income households.

The City participates on numerous committees, boards, and the like and works directly with agencies and organizations that provide services in order to enhance the level and quality of services in Federal Way and throughout South King County. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City is working with other communities in South King County to establish and enhance strong networks for community development and human services delivery. This includes working with service providers, stakeholders, the faith -based community, other government agencies, and those we serve directly to identify and overcome or mitigate barriers to meeting underserved needs. There are both on-going discussions among the parties to share information about current issues, as well as longer term planning to develop strategies, build public awareness, and enhance the support of elected officials for increased resources for the underserved. The City worked with local cities to implement a Parallel Application process to the Human Services General Fund process. The Parallel Application focused on underserved, underrepresented, and underfunded communities with particular focus on organizations and programs serving communities of color, immigrants, and/or refugees. For 2017-2018, the City funded five programs for a total of $14,500 per year and has seen great success and will be providing $15,000 to three programs for both 2019 and 2020. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City operates the Home Repair Program, which is funded by CDBG and serves low- and moderate - income homeowners in Federal Way. The program provides emergency and standard repair and renovation services that help families remain in their homes. The program is a means of retaining and enhancing affordable housing and serves to support aging in place, as well as strengthening the neighborhoods in which the homes are located. The program does not specifically target households with elderly individuals, but does serve primarily older adults and often incorporates renovations that assist individuals in staying in their home longer with additions such as ramps, bathroom upgrades including grab bars and accessible showers, and so on. The City of Federal Way also joined the newly established South King County Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP) in collaboration with other cities in south King County and King County. SKHHP will Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 90 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 112 focus on assisting the region in in meeting affordable housing and homeless needs. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City of Federal Way works to reduce lead-based paint hazards by complying with and requiring subrecipients to comply with the Lead -Based Paint requirements set forth in 24 CFR Part 35. This includes meeting the requirements for notification, identification, and stabilization of deteriorated paint; identification and control of lead-based paint hazards; and identification and abatement of lead- based paint hazards. The Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home pamphlet developed by the EPA, HUD, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is also distributed. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families Actions to reduce the number of poverty level families include funding small business and micro - enterprise training and technical assistance. Additionally, actions include maintaining and enhancing relationships with school-based mentoring programs that lead to increased graduation and college acceptance and outreach to increase opportunities for low-income residents to obtain livable wage jobs. Actions planned to develop institutional structure In 2020, the Community Services Division will: • Update the Division website to include pertinent information for community-based organizations for planning and program implementation purposes, and for individuals seeking resources for community development. • Continue to advocate for additional resources for a coordinated approach to community development and planning to address poverty issues, affordable housing, job creation, and community revitalization initiatives. • Continue to participate in collaborative efforts with other funders, private sector groups, and agency coalitions such as the Continuum of Care. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Federal Way has regularly fostered relationships between these entities and will continue to develop and participate in these collaborations, including the South King Council of Human Services, South King County Housing Development Group, the King County Housing Development Consortium, and South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP). As part of the SKHHP work group, the City of Federal Way and other local cities work with agencies to develop the system and advocate for Consolidated Plan FEDERAL WAY 91 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 113 coordination between housing and social service agencies. Discussion The expressed goal of the CDBG Program is to reduce the number of people living in poverty. The City gives funding priority to programs that, in addition to complying with federal regulations, address a priority outlined in the Consolidated Plan, and are consistent with all of the goals and objectives identified.

The Consortium will plan for and support fair housing strategies and initiatives designed to affirmatively further fair housing choice and to increase access to housing and housing programs. We value working together collectively to continue the work to develop a cohesive and coordinated homeless system that is grounded in the principle of Housing First and fosters shared outcomes. We are not a one size fits all system and as such, we invest in projects that ensure that homeless households from all sub -populations: • are treated with dignity and respect; • are returned to permanent housing as quickly as possible; • receive strength -based services that emphasize recovery, as needed; • are supported to graduate from temporary homeless housing as rapidly as possible and from permanent supportive housing as soon as they are ready; • receive only what they need to return to housing quickly and to be as self-reliant as possible. To establish and maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income people, our investments across the Consortium in low-income communities, and for the benefit of low-income people, help to ensure equitable opportunities for good health, happiness, safety, self-reliance, and connection to community. Specific strategies include: 1) improve the ability of health and human services agencies to serve our low -and moderate -income residents safely and effectively; 2) improve the living environment in low -and moderate -income neighborhoods and communities; and 3) expand economic opportunities for low- to moderate -income residents of the Consortium.

If projects are selected in response, they may be funded with Community Development Block Grant funding or other appropriate funding sources selected when projects move forward. Background Information: The federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 makes it unlawful to discriminate in any aspect related to the sale, rental, or financing of dwelling because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. All entitlement communities that receive funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are required to develop an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) as part of the consolidated planning process. As part of the King County Consortium, the City of Federal Way participates under the King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The Al seeks to understand the barriers to fair housing choice as identified by community and stakeholder input, data, and policy analysis. This Al will guide policy and funding decisions to end discrimination and address historic patterns of segregation. Key findings in the 2019 King County Al include: • King County has become significantly more diverse over recent decades. • Jurisdictions in King County can be categorized within three racial compositions: areas that are diverse, predominantly White and Asian, and predominantly White. • South Seattle and Southwest King County contain the most diverse areas of King County and face the greatest barriers in access to opportunity. • Economic segregation is a major contributing factor to segregation patterns throughout King County and protected class status is frequently correlated with lower incomes. 120 Rev. 7/18 • Housing prices have increased dramatically in the last ten years, displacing lower- income communities of color and immigrants. • Field-testing conducted across jurisdictions in King County found evidence of individual -level housing discrimination in about half of all tests. • Blacks are half as likely as Whites to apply for a home loan, and twice as likely to be denied. Protected Classes Federal State of Washington King County Race Sexual Orientation Age Color Gender Identity Ancestry National Origin Creed Religion Marital Status Sex Veteran/Military Status Disability Use of Service or Assistive Familial Status Animal Source of Income Fair Housing Testing Fair housing testing is a national best practice to understanding the nature and extent of individual -level housing discrimination in a given community. In 2018, the King County Consortium and the Cities of Auburn, Bellevue, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, and Renton jointly funded testing through the Fair Housing Center of Washington (FHCW). The FHCW conducted 66 differential treatment tests and 16 policy checks in jurisdictions across King County from January to May 31, 2019. Differential treatment tests are two- part, in which a member of a protected class and a control tester apply for the same housing. Policy tests ask housing providers direct questions about their policies, such as accommodation for a disability or whether they rent to families with children. The FHCW tested property management companies, not individual landlords. The final report from the FHCW found evidence of discrimination in 39 out of 82 total tests. These results are troubling and indicate that protected classes continue to face individual -level discrimination. Evidence of discrimination was found at roughly the same rate (around half) for each protected class and in most jurisdictions, with the exception of the source of income policy checks, which found a violation in four out of twelve tests. More testing is required to gain a better understanding of which groups are most at risk of discrimination. Fair Housing Goals The draft 2019 Al recommends the following Fair Housing Goals: 1. Invest in programs that provide fair housing education, enforcement, and testing. 2. Engage underrepresented communities on an ongoing basis to better understand barriers and increase access to opportunity. 3. Provide more housing for vulnerable populations. 121 Rev. 7/18 4. Provide more housing choices for households with large families. 5. Support efforts to increase housing stability. 6. Preserve and increase affordable housing in communities at high risk of displacement. 7. Review zoning laws to increase housing options and supply in urban areas. g. Work with communities to guide investments in historically underserved communities. 9. Support the Affordable Housing Committee's efforts to promote fair housing. 10. Report annually on Fair Housing Goals and progress. The City of Federal Way may choose to select certain goals to work on throughout the Consolidated Plan period of 2020-2024. The goals will address City of Federal Way specific conditions. For instance, the City already supports and funds projects focused on increasing housing stability and preserving affordability. Additional strategies may be added in future annual action plans. 122 Rev. 7/18 Attachment A 2019 King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY 123 Attachment A Table of Contents Introduction and Executive Summary.............................................................................. 3 Community Participation Process................................................................................... 4 Assessment of Past Fair Housing Goals.......................................................................19 FairHousing Analysis.................................................................................................... 26 Demographic Trend Summary ................................................................................... 27 Segregation and Integration in King County............................................................... 30 Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty(R/ECAPs)................................41 Disproportionate Housing Needs.................................................................................. 43 Disparities in Access to Opportunity.............................................................................. 49 Education................................................................................................................... 50 Employment............................................................................................................... 55 Transportation............................................................................................................ 57 EnvironmentalHealth.................................................................................................60 Conclusion - Disparities in Access to Opportunity...................................................... 66 Publicly Supported Housing Analysis............................................................................67 Disability and Access Analysis...................................................................................... 71 Fair Housing Discrimination Data Analysis.................................................................... 74 FairHousing Goals........................................................................................................ 76 Conclusionand Next Steps........................................................................................... 77 King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 124 Attachment A 125 Attachment A INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Everyone deserves fair access to housing. Discrimination and segregation are deeply engrained in the history of the United States, including King County. Access to housing was historically a key tool to perpetuate segregation, and will be critical for its undoing. The Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 banned discrimination against certain protected classes, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) implementation of the act requires all local governments to affirmatively further fair housing. This means King County must take meaningful actions to combat discrimination, overcome historic patterns of segregation, and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity. Protected Classes in King County Federal State of Washington King Count Race Sexual Orientation Age Color Gender Identity Ancestry National Origin Creed Religion Marital Status Sex Veteran/Military Status Disability Use of Service or Assistive Familial Status Animal Source of Income This Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Analysis of Impediments) seeks to understand the barriers to fair housing choice and will guide policy and funding decisions to end discrimination and overcome historic patterns of segregation in King County. This analysis is written in the context of King County's Equity and Social Justice Strategic Plan', which provides a lens through which all critical government decisions are made. The Strategic Plan creates a framework to analyze how to engage historically underserved communities in examining current conditions and defining equitable solutions. 1 https://aqua kingcounty gov/dnrp/library/dnrp-directors-office/equity-social-iustice/201609-ESJ-SP-FULL.Pdf King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 126 Attachment A This analysis is also written in the context of the Regional Affordable Housing Task Force's Five -Year Action Plan and Final Report' and the Affordable Housing Committee. This analysis may inform efforts King County and the Affordable Housing Committee will take to develop model ordinances or provide technical assistance to partner jurisdictions. The Five -Year Action Plan includes strategies that this analysis partially addresses: • Goal 4, Strategy A: Propose and support legislation and statewide policies related to tenant protection to ease implementation and provide consistency for landlords: o Prohibit discrimination in housing against tenants and potential tenants with arrest records, conviction records, or criminal history • Goal 4, Strategy B: Strive to more widely adopt model, expanded tenant protection ordinances countywide and provide implementation support for: o Prohibiting discrimination in housing against tenants and potential tenants with arrest records, conviction records, or criminal history • Goal 5, Strategy B: Increase investments in communities of color and low-income communities by developing programs and policies that serve individuals and families at risk of displacement o Expand requirements to affirmatively market housing programs and enhance work to align affordable housing strategies with federal requirements to affirmatively further fair housing. This analysis is conducted on behalf of the King County Consortium, which includes all of King County with the exception of the Cities of Seattle and Milton. While this analysis includes the City of Seattle, particularly for the analysis of shifting demographics and segregation throughout King County, it does not represent the City of Seattle nor reflect all of its efforts to affirmatively further fair housing. The City of Seattle and Seattle Housing Authority conducted its own Assessment of Fair Housing in 2017, which you can read here .3 This analysis is primarily based on the structure of HUD's 2017 Assessment of Fair Housing Local Government Assessment Tool and the data from the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data and Mapping Tool' provided by HUD. More current and supplemental data sources are included when appropriate, and the structure has been modified to improve readability. z https //kingcounty gov/—/media/initiatives/affordablehousing/documents/report/RAHReportPrintFileUpdated7- 17-19.ashx?la=en 3 http://www seattle gov/Documents/Departments/HumanServices/CDBG/2017%20AFH%20Final.4.25.17V2.pdf ° https://egis.hud.gov/affht/ King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 127 rj Attachment A Executive Summary This report finds that systemic segregation, disproportionate housing needs, and individual -level discrimination are present and ongoing in King County. Key findings include: • King County has become significantly more diverse over recent decades. • Jurisdictions in King County can be categorized within three racial compositions: areas that are diverse, predominantly White and Asian, and predominantly White. • South Seattle and Southwest King County contain the most diverse areas of King County and face the greatest barriers in access to opportunity. • Economic segregation is a major factor to segregation patterns throughout King County and protected class status is frequently correlated with lower incomes. • Housing prices have increased dramatically in the last ten years, displacing lower- income communities of color and immigrants. • Field-testing conducted across jurisdictions in King County found evidence of individual -level housing discrimination in about half of all tests. • Blacks are half as likely as Whites to apply for a home loan and twice as likely to be denied. This report proposes an initial set of goals: 1. Invest in programs that provide fair housing education, enforcement, and testing. 2. Engage underrepresented communities on an ongoing basis to better understand barriers and increase access to opportunity. 3. Provide more housing for vulnerable populations. 4. Provide more housing choices for people with large families. 5. Support efforts to increase housing stability. 6. Preserve and increase affordable housing in communities at high risk of displacement. 7. Review zoning laws to increase housing options and supply in urban areas. 8. Work with communities to guide investments in historically underserved communities. 9. Support the Affordable Housing Committee's efforts to promote fair housing. 10. Report annually on Fair Housing Goals and progress. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 128 Attachment A COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION PROCESS King County staff solicited input on community needs, priorities, and on the draft Analysis of Impediments from partner organizations, local jurisdictions, and the general public. Public outreach and engagement activities were designed to reduce barriers to participation and engage stakeholders and community groups who have been underrepresented in the past. King County staff partnered with local jurisdictions to help reach more communities, and hosted meetings in public places that might be more broadly attended. Information on the Analysis of Impediments, the notice of the public meetings and survey were widely distributed through targeted outreach with local partners. The public review draft was available for public review and comment from June 14 -July 26, 2019. The meeting notices and the survey tool were available to members of the public in English, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese from June 25 -July 26, 2019. The Joint Recommendations Committee, which oversees the funding decisions of the King County Consortium, reviewed and approved this report at a special meeting on July 12, 2019. In effect, this means that this Analysis of Impediments has been adopted by all of the cities in King County, except the Cities of Seattle and Milton. The King County Department of Community and Human Services will submit this report to the King County Council by September, which will provide an additional forum for public comment. Stakeholders King County staff invited members of the following organizations to participate in one- on-one interviews to provide additional feedback. Staff also shared the public meetings notice with the following organizations and encouraged them to distribute it through their networks. Housing Providers/Policy Advocates • Housing Development Consortium of Seattle -King County • Housing Justice Project • King County Housing Authority • Puget Sound Sage • Renton Housing Authority • Tenant's Union (WA State and City of Kent) • WA Multifamily Housing Association • WA Realtors Nonprofit/Community Based Organizations • African Community Housing and Development • Alliance of People with disAbilities • Asian Pacific Islander Americans for Civic Engagement (APACE) King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 129 Attachment A • Asian Counseling and Referral Services • Centro De La Raza Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA) • Somali Community: Living Well Kent • Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) White Center CDA Regional Partners • Columbia Legal Services Futurewise • Puget Sound Sage • Skyway Solutions University of Washington: Evans School of Public Policy & Governance King County staff conducted interviews with representatives from the following organizations: Alliance for People with disAbilities • Asian Counseling and Referral Services • Columbia Legal Services • University of Washington: Evans School of Public Policy & Governance King County Housing Authority • Puget Sound SAGE • Refugee Women's Alliance • Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ONSUITATION AND PARTICIPATION n H0.1111.5 el iI DE.VELOPMENT King County Columbia , o g►� Authority Le4. gal ServicesN �...P.ugTeRER d�A5�..0uvndFo:od e R« PENTON caNs4�.'4W/i1Y HOLT "Co �R eux<n • p VEtOPNR::�,A,�ITYAUTH_ReWA KI^9��Y .� , ; WASHINGTON STATE CO) Empo.w.g a,„An•swga+,•w F' AGAWDOMESTKVIoiOM CFH UACHDII CONGREGATiONSFORTHEHOMEIESS A CENTIJRYof N y N D H PE DOING THE with disAbilities < ho. < 1 .«o MOST GOOD CTI, ,<No s FAIR HOUSING King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 130 S Attachment A Community Meetings For the General Public Public Drop -In Forums Three public open houses (one in each sub -region) gave a chance for residents to provide feedback on the draft Analysis of Impediments and share their concerns and perspectives with King County staff. These meetings followed the federal requirements for providing public notice, providing notice in the Seattle Times newspapers, posting on the King County website, posting notice at the meeting site and providing direct notification to stakeholders 14 calendar days prior to the first community meeting. These meetings took place at the following times and locations: • East — Bellevue, 6/15, Crossroads Mall, 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. • North — Shoreline, 6/22, Shoreline Library, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. • South — Tukwila, 6/29, Tukwila Library, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. These community forums were held in mixed—income and low-income locations around King County that are walkable, accessible by public transit, and had free parking. The venues included areas that are frequented by community members of all economic backgrounds, often in areas with subsidized and affordable housing options. These public meetings were held in publicly accessible locations, without architectural barriers which would preclude the attendance of people who have a disability. The community meeting held at the Crossroads Mall was the best attended, as the location had the most foot traffic, and was a good location to talk to people passing by the posted information. Additional Meetings King County co -hosted two community meetings jointly, one with the City of Auburn and another with the City of Federal Way. An additional stakeholder meeting was scheduled to provide an opportunity to discuss this work and get feedback during work hours. Staff from the Downtown Emergency Services Center, Housing Development Consortium, and Congregations for the Homeless attended this meeting. King County staff also briefed the City of Renton Human Services Commission on this process, key findings, and recommendations. Online Survey King County staff also distributed an online survey to collect information regarding individuals' personal experiences of barriers to accessing housing. The survey was translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali to increase accessibility. By the end of the comment period, 46 participants submitted responses and comments through the survey. Survey Themes: King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 131 Attachment A Rental Market: o Lack of affordable housing for low-income/fixed-income individuals o Instability of constantly moving due to: ■ Annual rent increases that make an area unaffordable ■ Buildings being renovated and displacing residents o Living with multiple roommates in crowded conditions to afford the area o Community members settling for sub -quality rental housing in order to manage affordability o Moved out of homelessness into a rental unit Housing ownership market is too expensive and unattainable: o Older housing options are the only options in lower price ranges o Newer housing is larger and starts in the $800K range o Prices prevent younger families from moving in, the elderly from staying in their homes and the new graduates need to return to live at home o Newer housing being built does not incorporate concern for aesthetic or functional neighborhoods or communities; quantity over quality is being valued o Frustrated by a lack of market options/configurations; need more multi- family properties Need more education about how to report housing discrimination, and what tenant rights are when facing fair housing discrimination Need more low -barrier, affordable housing options Need to protect mobile home parks from development, enabling low-income residents to remain (see work Kenmore is doing) Summary of Feedback Key Themes Highlighted from Public Meetings and Stakeholder Interviews: Fair Housing Enforcement needs work, as the current system relies on the injured party to report the discrimination (racism, classism, ableism etc.) Certain protected classes (i.e. individuals living with a disability, immigrants with limited English proficiency) experience inherent barriers to accessing housing o Need more accessible units for people with disabilities, and policies to ensure units are actually accessible or modified to be accessible o Need for more translated materials (forms, websites) and available interpreters to help immigrants/refugees access information and apply for housing The impacts of displacement are being felt across the county: o Available housing is pricing out low-income individuals o Evictions are disproportionately impacting women of color o Cost of housing restricts geographical choice, forces residents to relocate o Number of people experiencing homelessness continue to increase King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 132 Attachment A Immigrant and refugee communities are afraid of government/public entities/organizations Credit scores and social security numbers are being used as neutral tools to discriminate against potential tenants Recommended Actions Identified by Public Stakeholders: • Need more accessible, affordable housing and larger capacity units across King County • Need to further educate landlords/property managers/housing providers on working with tenants with disabilities, with domestic violence survivors, and with tenants with criminal records. • Need a centralized housing database that provides a reference list of available housing programs, resources and available units. The following chart summarizes the feedback received for each public meeting and interview. Feedback has also been incorporated throughout this analysis since the public review draft was first posted on June 14, 2019.

This analysis includes the following sections: • Summary of King County demographics and trends • Analysis of segregation patterns and trends • Analysis of racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty • Analysis of disproportionate housing needs • Analysis of disparities in access to opportunity along the following factors: - Education - Employment - Transportation - Environmentally Healthy Areas • Analysis of publicly supported housing • Analysis of housing access for individuals with disabilities • Analysis of fair housing discrimination testing and housing mortgage disclosure data Each section includes an analysis of the dynamics and disparities for each issue, key contributing factors, and provides a brief overview of the existing programs and policies seeking to address these issues. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 151 26 Attachment A Demographic Trend Summary King County has seen significant demographic shifts since 1990 in overall population and makeup by race, ethnicity, and country of origin. King County's population has increased from 1,507,319 in 1990 to a 2017 Census estimate of 2,118,119, an increase of 41 %. This was significantly greater than the overall U.S. population growth of 30% from 1990 to 2017. Please see Appendix A for a table containing key demographic data for King County as whole, each jurisdiction, and the unincorporated areas. Race/Ethnicity King County has become significantly more diverse, with the White, not Hispanic or Latinx population decreasing from 84.8% in 1990 to a 2017 Census estimate of 61 %. The Asian and Latinx populations grew most rapidly in the same time period, increasing from 7.9% to 17% and from 2.9% to 9% of the overall population, respectively. The Black population grew from 5.1 % in 1990 to a 2017 estimate of 6.2%. King County's racial and ethnic composition is similar to the larger Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue Metropolitan area. National Origin A major contributor to the growth in King County is immigration from other countries. In 1990, 140,600 residents had a national origin other than the U.S. The 2017 King County estimate is 467,938, an increase of 333% compared to 1990.

Language and Limited English Proficiency King County residents speak over 170 different languages, and more than a quarter of households in King County speak a language other than English at home. Six percent of King County households have limited English proficiency (LEP). Fifty five percent of LEP households speak Asian and Pacific Island languages, 20% speak Spanish, 16% speak Indo-European languages, and 9% speak other languages. 18 The most common languages spoken by K-12 students with LEP in King County are: Language spoken by LEP students Number of students in Kin Count Spanish 26,260 Vietnamese 5,575 Somali 3,786 Mandarin 3,552 Russian 2,543 Cantonese 2,263 Data Source: WA State Office of Financial Management, Forecasting uivision, 2016 estimates Familial Status Despite other shifting demographics, household size in King County has remained relatively unchanged. Sixty percent of King County residents live in family households, married with or without children, or single parent households. The average household size in King County is 2.5 people.

Geographically, residential segregation patterns in King County can be categorized as jurisdictions and neighborhoods that are predominantly White, predominantly White and Asian, or racially and ethnically diverse. South Seattle and Southwest King County experience the highest levels of racial and ethnic diversity, and are relatively integrated. Urban jurisdictions east of Seattle, such as Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, and Kirkland are predominantly White and Asian. Please see Appendix A for race and ethnicity information for each jurisdiction, King County as a whole, and the unincorporated areas of King County. Non -White residents have moved into urban areas throughout King County over recent decades, which paints an overall positive outlook for racial and ethnic integration in the future. However, as the non-White population is likely to continue to grow, the displacement and shift of the Latinx and Black community into Southwest King County does present a risk of persistent or increased segregation in the future. King County's segregation levels vary significantly by race. While Latinx and Asian populations experience similar levels of relatively low segregation, the Black population is highly segregated from the White population. The Dissimilarity Index provided by HUD measures the degree of segregation between two groups. A score of 0 would represent complete integration, while a score of 100 would represent complete segregation. Race Dissimilarity Index White/Non-White 35.81 Black/White 56.71 Hispanic/White 39.71 Asian/White 36.22 Data Source: HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair housing uaia aria ivlappmy 1 UUP, IgVv. I �f, Segregation Trends since 1990 In 1990, areas with significant non-White populations were primarily in Central and South Seattle. Over time, the non-White population has expanded into Southwest King County, with the Asian population also growing significantly in the urban areas east of Seattle. The most segregated areas of King County are those that are predominantly White in the rural areas, which have experienced relatively low population and job growth compared to the urban areas.

King County established an Urban Growth Boundary in 1992, in accordance with the GMA, and the boundary remains largely unchanged today. This boundary seeks to prevent sprawling, uncontrolled development and targets growth primarily in the western urban areas of King County. The urban areas have accommodated King County's growth in recent decades, while the rural area's demographics remain closer to King County's 1990 demographics. Suburban cities also annexed the majority of the urban unincorporated area, which accounts for the significant decrease in population in the urban unincorporated areas. Another segregation trend over recent decades has been that of income segregation. Middle-income or mixed -income census tracts have decreased from 57% in 1980 to 46% in 2017. Economic segregation indexes rate this metropolitan region as about average or slightly below average compared to other metropolitan regions in the U.S. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 156 31 21 L O N O co 0) O .� Y O m -0 c cD a� L O Q O O O U O U a)>0) C O U) fn O L W U) /� 2W U C O Q ON `n U O � � E Co Y N (D 3 co N L U O : o c O Q cn > O U L Co U N •- 'nN O - (n O O CU o U U E " �O L C O M e- O N /O^ N v)L C O X - a 0 Q o Q O Cl 0 N CO L = Y c C O 4 157 N m aj u 0 t u c .N 0 U- 2 c Cv E v a E 0 0 _T fD C Q T 7 0 u m Y C C v L{ O 333 c �Y _ ES i �' '_ c { R s E G CTI - N 11.1 O 157 N m aj u 0 t u c .N 0 U- 2 c Cv E v a E 0 0 _T fD C Q T 7 0 u m Y Attachment A Contributing Factors to Segregation Race National Origin and Income Understanding the strong connection between race and income is critical to understanding segregation trends in King County. Race/Ethnicity 2017 Median Household Income Percent of King County Median Household Income All King County Households $83,571 $137,966 Asian $93,971 112% White $88,638 106% Two or more races $70,046 84% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander $62,500 75% Hispanic or Latinx Some other race $57,933 $52,070 69% 62% American Indian and Alaska Native $45,923 55% Black or African American $42,280 51% Data Source: 2017 5 -Year ACS Population Estimates As the preceding table shows, White and Asian households earn above, while all other races and ethnicities earn significantly below, the King County median income. Another significant income disparity that contributes to segregation trends in King County is between U.S.-born and foreign -born individuals. On average, foreign -born individuals earn $34,871, while US born individuals earn $41,983. The following table shows the median household income for households with at least one foreign -born adult by place of birth. The countries included are those with at least 5,000 King County residents. The disparities between different places of birth are stark: Place of Birth 2017 Median Household Income United Kingdom $150,511 India $137,966 Canada $124,101 Hong Kon $113,677 German $109,406 Taiwan $101,574 Japan $101,046 China $91,070 Philippines $90,575 Russia $87,468 King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 158 33 Attachment A Korea $81,777 Ukraine $75,967 Vietnam $72,978 Guatemala $65,595 Cambodia $55,034 Mexico $52,105 EI Salvador $46,098 Ethiopia $39,290 Somalia $17,178 Data Source: 2017 5 -Year ACS Population Estimates The most striking disparity is households with an adult born in Somalia, who have a median income below the federal poverty level, depending on household size .20 The preceding table also shows that while Asians as a single category earn above the King County median income, households with adults born in Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia earn less than the King County median income. These income disparities are a major component to why immigrants and low-income people of color have moved into Southwest King County. Median household income by King County neighborhood, 1990-2015 - -$W.000 = $50,000 - 564.999 _ _ $65.000 - $74.899 JM $75,000 - $89,999 = $90,000 and over Data sources: US Census Bureau, 1990 & 2000 censes; Amerxan Community Survey (2006-2010, 2011-2015) Historical Redlininq and Restrictive Covenants Two major institutional factors that have historically contributed to segregation in King County are the practices of redlining and restrictive covenants. Redlining was a practice 20 https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 34 159 Attachment A used by lending institutions to systematically deny financial services to residents of specific neighborhoods, either by outright denial or by raising the price for their services. Restrictive covenants explicitly excluded residents from buying houses in certain areas, typically based on race and religion. These policies restricted access to homeownership opportunities for non-White communities. Homeownership is an important tool to building future wealth, and parental homeownership significantly increases the chance that their children will buy a home.21 These policies have likely had a major impact on intergenerational wealth and contributed to the systemic disparities identified throughout this report. The federal Supreme Court ruled against racially restrictive covenants in 1948, and the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 outlawed both practices. However, their effects are still visible in King County's demographics today. The Seattle Civil Rights & Labor History Project, based at the University of Washington, provides a wealth of information about the history of segregation in King County. You can learn more about redlining and racially restrictive covenants, including mapping of both practices, here." King County's Topography Another factor that may contribute to racial and ethnic segregation patterns in King County is its topography. Access to and views of Puget Sound, lakes, and mountains have a strong influence on housing prices and are dispersed throughout King County. Areas with these assets tend to have a majority White with significant Asian populations. The Latinx and Black populations in King County have significantly lower median incomes and are therefore less likely to live in these areas. Because housing with views or water access can be in close geographic proximity to housing without these assets, an area can be diverse from a jurisdictional or neighborhood level of analysis, but segregated at a sub -neighborhood or block -by -block level. An example of this trend can be seen in predominantly White areas along Puget Sound within the Cities of Burien, Normandy Park, Des Moines, and Federal Way, which transition to neighborhoods that are less than 50% White in distances as short as half a mile.

These trends have resulted in King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 162 37 Attachment A significant displacement of communities of color from Central and South Seattle into South Seattle and Southwest King County. Location and Type of Affordable Housing Southwest King County has historically been the area of King County with the most naturally occurring affordable housing, meaning that market rate housing has been affordable to households with lower incomes. As a result, residents displaced due to rising housing costs, many of whom are people of color, have relocated to this area. Due in part to its affordability, Southwest King County has also become home to lower-income immigrant communities over recent decades. These areas have also experienced faster rates of growth in housing costs compared to the more costly Seattle and Eastside submarkets. Land use and zoning laws Zoning codes significantly limit development in a majority of the urban areas of King County. Areas that allow only lower density development, such as single-family zoning or large minimum lot size requirements, are whiter than the King County average. Limiting the type of housing allowed to single-family homes, which is typically the most expensive form of housing, leads to economic segregation. This economic segregation effectively excludes the low-income communities that are highly correlated with protected class status.21 Private Discrimination and Lack of Enforcement of Existing Laws Community input and housing discrimination testing have found that private, individual -level housing discriminatory practice are still commonplace in King County and present an impediment to fair housing choice. Familial status, race, religion, disability, and national origin were all identified as having experienced housing discrimination. In addition to Federal Fair Housing laws, the State of Washington, King County, and jurisdictions within King County have implemented many policies aimed at reducing discrimination and addressing these disparities. However, funding for monitoring, education, and enforcement of these laws has been limited. Please see the Fair Housing Discrimination section for more information. Programs Policies and Investments to Address Segregation, Fair Housing, and Geographic Mobility Communities of Opportunity Communities of Opportunity is an initiative undertaken jointly between Public Health — Seattle and King County and the Seattle Foundation to address 23 https://www.ncbi.nIm.nih.qov/pmc/articles/PMC580041 3/ King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 163 38 Attachment A inequitable outcomes based on geography. Geographic communities targeted currently include: • The Rainier Valley (City of Seattle) • White Center • SeaTac/Tukwila • The City of Kent • The Central District of the City of Seattle • Rural Snoqualmie Valley • The urban Native Community • The Latinx Community of Vashon Island • Transgender and gender nonconforming communities There is significant overlap between these targeted communities and federal protected classes. Each community develops its own vision and priorities, which may include: • anchoring multi -cultural communities at risk of displacement, • advocating for the preservation and development of affordable housing in areas that are in close proximity to transit, jobs, and education, • Access to health, affordable food and safe places outside to be physically active, especially for youth, • Workforce development that includes local hires, support of new local businesses, and inclusion of youth, and • Increased civic participation and engagement, cultural preservation, and access to safe public spaces. The majority of these efforts seek to empower and improve outcomes for protected classes, which may ultimately lead to greater integration due to economic mobility and mixed -income communities. King County Housing Authority's Small Area Fair Market Rent Policies In 2016, KCHA expanded its two-tiered system of payment standards (which involved a regular standard and an "exception area" standard that covered East King County) to create a ZIP code -based, multi -tiered structure with five payment standard levels. KCHA's adoption of multi -tiered payment standards recognizes the importance of closely aligned payment standards to local rental sub -markets as a means of achieving four goals: 1. Increasing access to high opportunity areas 2. Containing program costs by "right -sizing" subsidy amounts in lower and middle cost markets King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 164 i0:9 Attachment A 3. Ensuring that new and existing voucher holders can secure and maintain their housing in competitive and increasingly costly rental submarkets across the county 4. Limiting the number of households experiencing cost burden. An internal assessment completed in 2017 found that households were more likely to move to higher opportunity areas after enactment of the policy: between 2015 and 2016, the proportion of new voucher holders with children leasing in higher cost areas increased by 8.4%, movers with children relocating from lower cost to higher cost areas increased by 4%, and nearly all racial groups experienced increased access to higher cost areas. Creating Moves to Opportunity The King County Housing Authority is partnering with the Seattle Housing Authority, MDRC, and a multi -disciplinary academic team that includes Raj Chetty and others from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and MIT to identify strategies to increase opportunity area access among families with young children who receive a Housing Choice Voucher. The program, Creating Moves to Opportunity (CMTO), is being run as a multi-year randomized control test study that will test a range of services aimed at reducing rental barriers to opportunity neighborhood access; the end result from CMTO will be identified best practices that are both impactful and scalable. You can learn more about this program here.24 24 http://creatingmoves.org/research/ King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 165 40 Attachment A RACIALLY OR ETHNICALLY CONCENTRATED AREAS OF POVERTY Neighborhoods with high concentrations of poverty contribute to negative outcomes greater than the struggles of an individual family living in poverty. Concentrations of poverty limit educational opportunities, lead to increased crime rates and poor health outcomes, hinder wealth building, reduce private -sector investment and increase prices for goods and services, and raise costs for local governments .25 It is critical to understand the needs and dynamics that have led to the creation of these areas to understand barriers to fair housing choice. HUD defines a "Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty" (R/ECAP) as a census tract that is majority non-White and has a poverty rate greater than 40%. King County is privileged to have only a few RECAP tracts. This is due primarily to a relative lack of concentration of poverty and few areas that are majority non-White. There is only one R/ECAP outside the City of Seattle, in the East Hill neighborhood of the City of Kent. The East Hill R/ECAP tract is 38.5% White, 16% Black, 1 % Native American, 22.3% Asian, and 21.5% Latinx and scores in the bottom decile of the HUD Poverty Index. This is a significantly higher rate of people of color compared to the King County average. King County had no R/ECAP tracts outside the City of Seattle in 1990. In 2000, a census tract in the City of Kent between 1-5 and Pacific Highway South was an R/ECAP with a White population of 46.6%, Black 17%, Native American 2%, Asian 13.5%, Hispanic 19.8%. The City of Kent has historically been an area with naturally occurring affordable housing, and has seen a significant amount of growth in the non- White population since 1990. The R/ECAP tracts are near major highways, a former landfill, and industrial activities, reducing the value of homes in this area and leading to higher rates of lower-income households. In 2018, Communities of Opportunity created the Kent Community Development Collaborative; a partnership of community-based organizations working to ensure everyone can participate and benefit from decisions that shape their neighborhood and greater community. The partnership convenes community forums focused on creating affordable, safe housing for Kent zs https://www.huduser.gov/portal/periodicals/em/springl3/highlightl.htmi King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 166 41 Attachment A residents, as well as opportunities for living -wage jobs and access to healthy, affordable foods. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 167 42 Attachment A DISPROPORTIONATE HOUSING NEEDS Achieving fair housing means more than eliminating overt discrimination. This analysis also seeks to understand the disproportionate housing needs of protected classes. The following section analyzes the disparities in housing. There are stark disparities among households who are cost burdened and experience housing problems. The four housing problems, as measured by the US Census Bureau, are: • Incomplete kitchen facilities • Incomplete plumbing facilities • More than 1 person per room26 • Cost burden.27 Race/Ethnicity Percent of households experiencing at least one housing problem Hispanic or Latinx 56% Black 55.9% Other, Non -Hispanic 43.6% Native American 38.3% Asian or Pacific Islander 37.8% All Households 37.1% White 33.9% Data Source: HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data and Mapping Tool, Nov. 2017 Update There are also significant racial disparities in severe cost burden 21 that create a disproportionate need for affordable housing for non-White and non-Asian communities. Race/Ethnicity Percent Severely Housing Cost Burdened Black 29% Some other Race 26% Hispanic or Latinx 24% Native American 22% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 22% White 18% Asian 18% Data Source: 2U'15 Uomprenensive ryousmy HllUIU PHLy JLIdLCyy 26 This measure includes all rooms, such as kitchens and living rooms. 27 Cost burden is when a household spends more than 30% of its gross income on household costs. 28 Severe cost burden is when a household spends more than half of its gross income on household costs. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice RM 43 Attachment A Geographically, South Seattle and Southwest King County experience the highest rates of cost burden and severe cost burden. Rental vs. Homeownership Housing There are significant disparities in the rates of households who rent versus own along race, ethnicity, and foreign -born status. Household Percent of Households Percent of Households Type who Rent who Own All King County Households 43% 57% Black 72% 28% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 71% 29% All other Races 71% 29% Hispanic or Latinx 66% 34% Native American 61% 39% Two or More Races 60% 40% Asian 42% 58% White 38% 62% Foreign Born 50% 50% U.S. Born 40% 60% Data Source. 2017 5 -Year ACS Population Estimate Areas of King County with high rates of rental housing are located primarily in the urban areas along 1-5 and east of Seattle. Within these urban areas, most rentals are located in the areas zoned for higher residential densities. Neighborhoods and jurisdictions composed of single-family homes are therefore more likely to be White and Asian, while denser areas are more diverse. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 169 44 Q 170 Gl 171 ko zr Attachment A Familial Status In King County, single individual households are most likely to be cost burdened. This is likely due to paying for housing costs with only a single income, and because younger people are more likely to earn less as they begin their careers. However, large families are also significantly more likely to experience housing problems, due primarily to the cost of larger housing and overcrowding. There is also significant variation in average household size by country of origin, likely meaning that certain immigrant populations face additional challenges obtaining sufficient housing for their families. The following table includes countries of birth with more than 5,000 King County residents. Place of Birth Average Household Size Somalia 4.0 EI Salvador 4.0 Mexico 3.9 Guatemala 3.9 Cambodia 3.5 Ukraine 3.5 Philippines 3.3 Vietnam 3.3 Ethiopia 3.0 India 2.8 Hong Kong 2.7 Russia 2.7 China 2.7 Japan 2.6 Korea 2.6 Taiwan 2.6 Germany 2.6 United Kingdom 2.4 Canada 2.4 Data Source: 2017 5 -Year ACS Population Estimates Low-income and immigrant communities have provided consistent input that there is a significant lack of affordable large -unit homes. A review of the publicly subsidized housing inventory in King County found that 27% of units are two bedrooms and 13% of units are three bedrooms or larger. Loss of Affordable Housing The stock of homes affordable to households earning 80% AMI or less has decreased since 2007, and is on a trajectory to continue decreasing. Between 2007 and 2017, the King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 172 47 Attachment A total number of rental units increased by 88,000, but the number of rental units affordable at 80% AMI and below decreased by 36,000. This is due to a combination of market pressures and the physical demolition of affordable housing. Significant growth in population and high -paying jobs in King County, particularly from 2013-2018, has increased the demand for housing, and the market has been unable to build enough new housing to accommodate this growth. Rents have increased dramatically in the last ten years, even in older, previously affordable buildings. As the urban areas of King County are already largely developed, construction of new housing can lead to a physical loss of affordable housing. Naturally affordable housing is often redeveloped as the value of the land is higher relative to the value of the structure. Naturally affordable housing can also be lost through renovations or remodels that increase the cost of housing. Language Barriers for Immigrant Households Limited English proficiency is an additional barrier some immigrant households face in their housing search. Rental postings and applications are typically not readily available in languages other than English. The need for translation services is therefore a disproportionate housing need for these households. Difficulty Transitioning from Temporary Cash Assistance for Refugees Refugees receive eight months of temporary cash assistance upon arrival .29 Advocates reported difficulty finding stable employment and obtaining affordable housing before this assistance expires. Even for refugees who are stably employed, establishing a sufficient employment and credit history over that period of time is a significant challenge and presents a barrier to securing housing. 29 https://www.dshs.wa.gov/esa/community-services-offices/refugee-cash-assistance King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 173 48 Attachment A DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY Fair housing choice is not only about combating discrimination. Intergenerational effects of discrimination and segregation have had a disproportionate impact on access to opportunity for protected classes in King County. The following sections summarize disparities; propose contributing factors to these disparities; and review policies, programs, and investments that seek to address these disparities. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 174 49 Attachment A Education Equitable access to a high quality education is a critical component to addressing intergenerational poverty and providing long-term economic mobility. Summary of Disparities/Dynamics The debate over how to measure or compare school proficiency is ongoing and beyond the scope of this analysis. However, the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's "School District Report Card" provides relevant data and shows significant disparities between school districts.

The school districts with the highest percentage of students meeting state standards are generally in the areas east of Seattle, which have significantly white and Asian student populations that are less likely to live in low-income households. Notably, the demographics of the student population are significantly less White than the general population, in keeping with the trends of an increasingly diverse King County. HUD also provides a School Proficiency Index, which measures the likelihood a student in King County of a given race or ethnicity attends a proficient school. Race/Ethnicity School Proficiency School Proficiency Index - Index Households below federal overt line White 69.9 60.3 Asian or Pacific 63.9 54.4 Islander Native American 58.6 39.5 Hispanic or Latinx 54.5 51.6 Black 41.2 1 35.1 __A %A�....:..,. T,,.,I K1 7n17 I Indata Data Source: HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair rlousmy udLd and Mapping This index also shows clear disparities, with the largest disparity between Whites and Blacks. This racial disparity persists among the population below the federal poverty level. Contributing Factors to Disparities in Access to Education Local vs. State Funding Reliance on local funding for schools puts a proportionally greater burden on residents in lower-income school districts, which frequently have more diverse student bodies. The Washington State Legislature recently complied with a State Supreme Court ruling (McLeary v. State of Washington) by increasing school investments at the state level and limiting how much funding can be collected locally and on how it can be spent." Boundaries of School Districts 30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCleary v. Washington King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 177 52 Attachment A With some exceptions, school districts in King County generally contain one of the three demographic categories of King County: predominantly White, White and Asian, or racially and ethnically diverse. This leads to racial, ethnic, and economic segregation, and limits opportunities for lower-income and non-White students to access the same resources as students living in wealthier areas. Parent-Teacher Association Funding Another contributor to disparities between and within school districts is funding provided by Parent-Teacher/Parent-Teacher-Student Associations (PTA/PTSAs). PTA funding perpetuates disparities through intergenerational wealth, as wealthier parents can invest in their children's school or in the specific program their child is interested in, bypassing the more redistributive investment patterns of government funding.31 This funding stream can be used for teacher salaries, supplementary equipment and materials, or other investments that can have an impact on student outcomes. In 2018, KUOW reported that Roosevelt High School, which is located in the Whiter and wealthier area of Northeast Seattle, has the largest PTSA and foundation funding in the Seattle School District with assets of $3.5 million and annual income of $225,586. Meanwhile, Rainier Beach, Franklin, and Chief Sealth High Schools, which are located in the historically non-White and lower-income area of South Seattle, have no PTSA or foundation assets or income.sz Programs, Policies, and Investments Addressing Disparities in Access to Education King County's Best Start for Kids Levy Passed by the voters in 2015, Best Start for Kids seeks to put every child and youth in King County on a path toward lifelong success, funding a number of programs likely to target immigrants and communities of color that: • Build resiliency of youth and reduce risky behaviors, • Stop the school -to -prison pipeline, • Prevent youth and family homelessness, and • Meet the health and behavioral needs of youth. 31 https://cdn.americanprogress.orq/content/uploads/2017/04/18074902/ParentFundraising-report- corrected.pdf 32 https://www.kuow.org/stories/some-seattle-school-ptas-can-afford-extra-teachers-should-they-spread- the-wealth King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 178 53 Attachment A You can learn more about the programs funded through Best Start for Kids here."

Longer commutes can have a detrimental impact on an individual's health from increased stress and exposure to air pollution, and are associated with less physical activity and a poorer diet. Summary of Dynamics/Disparities The Labor Market Engagement Index provided by HUD measures the level of employment, labor force participation, and educational attainment in a census tract, and shows disparities by race and ethnicity in King County. Race/Ethnicity Labor Market Labor Market Engagement Index — Engagement Index Households below Federal Poverty Line White 74.6 64.8 Asian or Pacific 72.5 62.0 Islander Hispanic or Latinx 61.4 55.3 Native American 58.5 47.0 Black 56.4 47.8 M-1, --A RA--. ;-- T-1 Ki r%%, 7(117 1 1nriatP Data Source: hiuu Hmrrnauvay Fug LI IG] It 1y 1 Within the population below the poverty line, Whites are still significantly more likely to live in areas with low unemployment compared to Blacks. The White population is the most likely to live in an areas with low unemployment, while the Black population is the least. However, the Native American population living below the poverty line is the group least likely to live in areas with low unemployment. Based on the HUD mapping tool, there is no clear geographic disparity in access to jobs for protected class groups. The jobs index is strong in the Duwamish and Kent Industrial Valley, which is at the core of the racially and ethnically diverse Southwest King County. The jobs index is also strong in the urban areas east of Seattle. Contributing Factors to Disparities in Access to Employment Geographic Segregation of High -Skilled Jobs A key factor not captured by the HUD Jobs Proximity Index is the nature of the jobs in a given area. King County is privileged to have hundreds of thousands of high -skill, high - paying jobs at leading corporations in the technology, engineering, health, and maritime industries. Boeing has a major facility in Renton, which is accessible to the diverse areas King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice .o 55 Attachment A of King County. However, the growing tech sector, which is primarily located in Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond, can be a long commute from Southwest King County. Programs, Policies, and Investments Addressing Disparities in Access to Employment King County Investments in Affordable Workforce Housing The 2019-2020 King County budget included more than $100 million in transit -oriented development for affordable workforce housing. These projects will produce hundreds of units that will have access to employment hubs in King County. The King County Housing Authority has also focused on acquiring housing in Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland to support the workforce in these areas and provide new opportunities for low- income households to live in areas closer to job centers. King County Employment and Education Resources King County Department of Community and Human Services provides employment programming.

Transportation is typically the largest household cost after housing and is deeply intertwined with housing cost and access. Summary of Disparities/Dynamics The variation in the Low Transportation Cost Index provided by HUD is low, with Native Americans and Whites scoring the lowest, at 71.3 and 72.0. There are more pronounced disparities in transit use by race. Race/Ethnicity Percentage who commute via transit White 6.5 Black 9.4 Native American 6.2 Asian 7.8 Hispanic or Latinx 6.4 Two or More Races 6.4 Data Source: LU1 / 5-T ear muo r-upuiauuii L,u1110_O Native Americans are least likely, and Blacks are significantly more likely to commute using public transportation. Transit access is generally highest in the City of Seattle and adjacent suburbs, including those in Southwest King County. The relatively lower transit index scores and higher transportation costs for the White and Native American populations is likely due to the rural Muckleshoot reservation and the higher rates of Whites in the rural areas of King County, which have limited transit service. Contributing Factors to Disparities in Access to Transportation Transportation Infrastructure Investments Investments in transit infrastructure have a complicated effect on access to transportation and housing costs for protected classes. Lower-income households are more likely to struggle to afford transportation costs and should be given priority or strong consideration when planning long-term infrastructure investments. However, dramatically improved transit access to an area increases its desirability overall and can increase the cost of housing, creating a risk of displacing the residents the infrastructure was originally meant to serve. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice WM 57 Attachment A Programs Policies, and Investments Addressing Disparities in Access to Transportation Sound Transit Light Rail Expansion and Equitable TOD Policy Approved by voters regionally in 2016, Sound Transit 3 will dramatically expand the region's light rail network, connecting high and lower opportunity areas across King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. You can learn more about Sound Transit's plans here.ss Construction of the light rail network requires purchasing storage and staging areas that become surplus once construction is complete. Sound Transit's Equitable TOD Policy37 commits to ensuring there is affordable housing in close proximity to transit stations. In 2018 and in accordance with state law, Sound Transit adopted a plan to offer a minimum of 80 percent of its surplus property that is suitable for development of affordable housing.38 King County Metro's Orca LIFT Reduced Fare and Equity in Service Planning King County Metro was the first transit authority to introduce a reduced fare for low- income residents. The program provides up to a 50% discount in fares to ensure low- income communities are not overly burdened by the cost of transportation. You can learn more about Orca LIFT here.39 King County Metro also incorporates social equity into its long-range service planning, placing an importance on serving historically disadvantaged communities, which are more likely to contain residents who are a protected class. Today, 76% of low-income households in King County are within 1/4 mile of a bus stop.41 PSRC Growing Transit Communities In 2010, the Puget Sound Regional Council, in collaboration with 17 community partners, applied for and received a $5 million Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant from the HUD Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities.

However, lack of access to those amenities and exposure to environmental hazards has been a chronic issue for low-income communities. Summary of Disparities/Dynamics According to the HUD Environmental Health Index, which uses EPA estimates of carcinogenic, respiratory, and neurological toxins in the air, there is a significant racial disparity in access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods. A higher score represents greater access to healthy environments. Race/Ethnicity Environmental Health Index White 27.0 Black 10.4 Hispanic or Latinx 16.0 Asian or Pacific Islander 17.6 Native American 29.6 Data Source: HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data and Mapping Tool, Nov. 2017 Update Black residents in King County are the least likely to have access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods. Native Americans scored the highest, a few points above Whites, likely due to a greater percentage of Native Americans living in rural areas. King County contains the lower Duwamish waterway, a Superfund site designated in 2001. The river has been contaminated with a number of pollutants over the decades, most notably a significant amount of polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, and furans. This makes fishing in the Duwamish, particularly for shellfish and bottom -feeding fish, unsafe. The neighborhoods along the Duwamish house many immigrants and communities of color that have fishing as a component of their way of life or identity, and there has been an ongoing challenge of communicating the risks of fishing in the river to these communities.aa 44 http://www.seattleglobalist.com/2015/05/04/duwamish-river-cleanup-plans-immigrant-fishermen- pollution-su perfu n d/36642 King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 185 .X I II Former Rammer Brevrery Attachment A Lower Duwamish Waterway Cleanup Sites General Electric Awat,or, Dry i Art Brass Plating Inc Seattle Duwammsh Shipyardt ' I— i c, I Burtmgton Environmental LLC Georgetown Blaser Die Casting Co Glacier Northv;est Inc t V'11s.- _..

Because of the deep connection between race and income due to legacies of discrimination, non-White communities are more likely to live in housing with these problems. Access to Open Space and Healthy Food Options is More Expensive Housing near amenities that improve health outcomes are desirable and therefore more expensive. Again, because of the deep connection between race and income, non- White communities are less likely to have access to these areas. Programs, Policies and Investments Addressing Disparities in Access to Healthy Environments King County Open Space Equity Initiative King County convened 21 residents representing 12 different community-based organizations located throughout King County to develop recommendations to ensure more equity in providing access to greenspace and open space and advise the County on how to best engage communities and cities to add open space in underserved areas.

High opportunity areas in Seattle and the urban areas east of Seattle are predominantly White and Asian, while Black and Latinx communities primarily live in Southwest King County, which has less access to opportunity. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 191 Attachment A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED HOUSING ANALYSIS Fair access to and the location of publicly supported housing can have major impacts to access to opportunity for protected classes. Summary of Publicly Supported Housing Disparities/Dynamics The Seattle, Renton, and King County Housing Authorities collectively operate over 19,000 units and administer tenant -based vouchers for nearly 18,000 households. Other programs provide affordable housing, such as Low -Income Housing Tax Credits, Multifamily Housing Tax Exemptions, inclusionary housing programs, and other local funding sources provide affordable units. Publicly supported housing is distributed throughout the urban areas of King County. AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN KING COUNTY r^ ;r'f�?vti�' ��1�, Moun[lar<e *arr aee ., 7.

KCHA provided racial demographics of the households who utilize their programs: Housing Percent Percent Percent Percent Percent Type White Black Hispanic Asian or Native Pacific American Islander Public 53.9 21 6.9 19.4 0.6 Housing Project- 48.9 29.7 10.4 15.6 1.2 Based Voucher Tenant- 49.3 39.1 6.4 6.7 1.5 Based Voucher Data Source: King County Housing Authority Black households are significantly more likely to utilize the Housing Choice Voucher Program, while Asians and Pacific Islanders are more likely to utilize public housing, relative to utilization of other housing types. Notably, Hispanic or Latinx households are underrepresented in all categories compared to their overall percentage of the King County population, despite being more likely to be housing cost burdened. Consistent with HUD policy and guidelines, KCHA seeks to provide access to all members of the community who are eligible for federal housing assistance. This includes eligible members of the immigrant and refugee community, mixed -eligibility families (where assistance is pro -rated based on the number of eligible household members), and US citizens. Contributing Factors to Publicly Supported Housing Location and Access Lack of public investment in specific neighborhoods While publicly supported housing is located in most jurisdictions, many of the highest - opportunity areas of King County have lower rates of publicly supported housing. Land Use and Zoning Laws Neighborhoods and jurisdictions in King County that are zoned for single family homes are less likely to contain publicly supported housing, as the majority of public housing developments are multifamily properties. This limits publicly supported housing access in single-family zones to recipients of housing choice vouchers. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 193 68 Attachment A Programs, Policies, and Investments Addressing Disparities in Location of and Access to Publicly Supported Housing Housing Authority Planning and Policies The Seattle, King County, and Renton Housing Authorities consider racial and geographic equity as part of their long-term planning processes. As noted in KCHA's Moving to Work Plan 52, KCHA's long-term goals include providing greater geographic choice for low-income households — including residents with disabilities and elderly residents with mobility impairments — so that residents have the opportunity to live in neighborhoods with high -performing schools and convenient access to services, transit, health services, and employment. The 2019 Plan also includes short-term goals regarding broadening geographic choice to support economic and racial integration in the region — through new property acquisitions, creation of family -sized affordable units, and through myriad strategies to ensure voucher holders have broad access to units across King County. The KCHA Board of Commissioners passed a resolution in 2012 which directs staff to give strong consideration to opportunity area indicators, including education and employment, when acquiring new properties, siting project -based Section 8 subsidies, and making other policy and programmatic decisions. Recent policy changes and programmatic decisions have reflected this consideration, including the adoption of small area payment standards, the siting of project -based subsidies in high opportunity areas, and piloting of mobility counseling strategies as part of Creating Moves to Opportunity. While the Hispanic and Latinx community has historically been underrepresented in subsidized housing, KCHA has made efforts to ensure access. In the recent waiting list opening for the Housing Choice Voucher program staff made a concerted effort to connect with relevant service providers and organizations with connections to this community. As a result, KCHA serves a large number of immigrants and refugees through the Housing Choice Vouchers and Public housing programs, a diversity that is similarly reflected among King County's population. King County TOD Preservation and Acquisition Plan King County's 2019-2020 budget included funding set aside for a partnership with KCHA to implement a TOD Preservation and Acquisition Plan. The plan currently 52 https://www.kcha.org/documents/90.pd King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 69 194 Attachment A proposes preserving 582 units in the coming years. You can learn more about the plan here." KCHA targets the preservation of affordable housing in communities at the highest risk of displacement (including those along emerging mass transit corridors) and in high opportunity areas characterized by access to high -performing schools, jobs, and transportation. After KCHA purchases a property, rents are only increased as operating costs rise, making these properties increasingly affordable over time. 53 https://mkcclegisearch.kinqcounty.gov/LegislationDetail.aspx?

For example, some individuals with disabilities may need specific accessibility features or additional services in housing, transportation, education, and other programs or facilities in order to have an equal opportunity. Summary of Disparities/Dynamics People with disabilities are dispersed throughout King County, with no clear concentration or pattern of segregation. King County and Washington State have made significant strides in supporting people to live in the most independent living arrangement possible and transitioning out larger institutions over the last fifty years. The single major remaining institution for people with disabilities in King County is Fircrest Rehabilitation Center, which houses and provides programming for about 200 individuals. Disabilities take many forms, and it is important to differentiate the needs of different groups. The following table shows the percentage of King County residents with the different types of disabilities, as measured by the Census Bureau. It is important to note that this table does not include all disabilities, such as behavioral health issues. Disability Type Percent of King County Residents Hearing Difficulty 3.1% Vision Difficulty 1.6% Cognitive Difficulty 3.9% Ambulatory Difficulty 4.8% Self-care Difficulty 2.0% Independent Living Difficulty 3.5% Data Source: HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Data and Mapping Tool, Nov. 2017 Update Contributing Factors to Disability and Access Issues Cost of Reasonable Accommodations Increases Likelihood of Discrimination Providing reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities is more likely to carry a financial burden to a housing provider than providing housing to other protected classes. This increases the likelihood of discrimination. While not a large enough sample to be statistically significant, housing discrimination testing conducted in King County in 2019 found evidence of discrimination in eight out of seventeen tests conducted by people with a disability. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 196 71 Attachment A Disability as a Barrier to Seeking and Securing Housing A disability in and of itself can make it difficult to tour housing or submit applications in a timely manner. Income and Education Gap for People with Disabilities Nationally, people with disabilities earn 64% as much as people without disabilities, and about 10% of adults with a disability have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to more than 25% of working -age adults without disabilities .54 In 2019, individuals whose primary source of income is a Social Security Disability payment can receive a maximum monthly benefit of $2,861, with a national average of $1,234. These disparities contribute to people with disabilities being less likely to afford housing. Complex Network of Resources and Multifaceted Nature of Disability Community There are dozens of organizations and resources for people with disabilities in King County. However, most organizations either provide one type of support or target individuals who live with a certain type of disability. This can make accessing support confusing and difficult. Disability advocates requested a "one-stop shop" that provides an inventory and navigation of all of the resources available for people with each type of disability. Growing Population of Older Adults Although age is not a federally protected class for fair housing, it is in King County, and is correlated with disabilities such as mobility, hearing, vision, and self-care issues. Due to a combination of increasing longevity, declining birthrate, improvements in medical technology and other factors, the population of Americans over age 65 will double over the next 25 years.55 Significant investments will be necessary to meet the increasing demand for accessible housing.

Caregivers may visit or live in the client's home, depending on their needs. These services are provided by dozens of providers in King County. Adult Family Homes Housing resources for disabled individuals is also provided through adult family homes, which are located throughout King County and are offered by a number of housing providers. Publicly Supported Senior Housing Publicly supported housing projects that target seniors are a large percentage of King County's public housing portfolio. Low -Income Housing Tax Credit projects also frequently build housing targeted to older adults. Housing Accessibility Modification Program King County's Housing Repair Program serves renters with disabilities who require modifications to their unit. You can learn more about this program here. 56 Moving Toward Age Friendly Housing in King County King County, the City of Seattle, and other partners undertook an effort in 2018 to understand the needs of the aging population and make recommendation to increase access to affordable housing for older adults. Key recommendations include: - Increase supply of affordable housing that meets the needs of a diverse, aging population. - Create accessible housing that meets the needs of a diverse aging population You can read the full report here.57 16 https //kingcountY qov/depts/community-human-services/housing/services/housing-repair/qrants.aspx 57 http://www agingkingcounty.org/wp- content/uploads/sites/185/2018/02/MovingTowardAgeFriendlyHousinglnKingCounty.pdf King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 73 Attachment A FAIR HOUSING DISCRIMINATION DATA ANALYSIS Laws banning housing discrimination are insufficient if housing providers do not comply. This section reviews data regarding discrimination against protected classes. Housing Discrimination Testing Community and stakeholder input reported that despite being illegal for over 50 years, individual -level discrimination in applications for rental housing remains a systemic issue. King County and partner cities chose to conduct field-testing to collect data on the nature and extent of housing discrimination in King County. King County and partner cities contracted with the Fair Housing Center of Washington to conduct at least 65 differential treatment tests and 15 policy tests in jurisdictions across King County. Differential treatment tests are two-part, in which a member of a protected class and a control tester apply for the same housing. Policy tests ask housing providers direct questions about their policies, such as accommodation for a disabled individual or whether they rent to families with children. A "positive" result is a test that found evidence of discrimination. The Fair Housing Center of Washington tested for the following protected classes: • Race • National Origin • Religion • Disability • Familial Status The final report provided by the Fair Housing Center of Washington reported positive test results in 34 out of 66 differential treatment tests and seven positive results out of 16 policy tests. These results are troubling and indicate that protected classes continue to face barriers to fair housing choice. Because the testing was spread across five protected classes in 24 jurisdictions, the data are insufficient to provide statistical significance for more granular findings. Please see Appendix B for a copy of the final testing report. Housing Mortgage Disclosure Act Data Fair access to financing for homeownership is a critical component of housing choice, and a major potential barrier. This analysis reviewed 2016 and 2017 summary data provided by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that tracks the outcomes of applications for mortgages for primary residences in King County by race. This data set does not include applicants' income, the size of the loan applied for, or other relevant factors that influence whether a loan is approved or denied, and is therefore not proof of individual -level racial discrimination on its own. There are, however, troubling disparities. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 74 Attachment A Race Percent of primary residence home loan applications denied White 5.7 Asian 7.2 Black 11.6 Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders 6.5 Native American 9.8 Data Source: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau°"' Black households are more than twice as likely to be denied a loan as White households. Native Americans are also significantly more likely to be denied a loan than Whites. It is also notable that Black applicants accounted for 2.8% of mortgage applications, despite being 6% of the King County population, which reflects earlier analysis regarding the racial disparities for rental and homeownership rates. Further outreach and analysis is necessary to understand the dynamics contributing to these disparities. 58 https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/hmda/explore King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 200 75 Attachment A FAIR HOUSING GOALS Informed by community input from other planning processes and the previous analysis, this section proposes a set of priority actions to achieve fair housing choice in King County. These goals are also written in the context of the programs, policies, and plans that currently seek to eliminate barriers to fair housing choice. 1. Invest in programs that provide fair housing education, enforcement, and testing. 2. Engage underrepresented communities on an ongoing basis to better understand barriers and increase access to opportunity. 3. Provide more housing for vulnerable populations. 4. Provide more housing choices for people with large families. 5. Support efforts to increase housing stability. 6. Preserve and increase affordable housing in communities at high risk of displacement. 7. Review zoning laws to increase housing options and supply in urban areas. 8. Work with communities to guide investments in historically underserved communities. 9. Support the Affordable Housing Committee's efforts to promote fair housing. 10. Report annually on Fair Housing Goals and progress. King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 201 76 Attachment A CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS This report analyzes access to fair housing choice along a number of factors, provides information on past and current efforts, and sets initial goals for future policies and investments. This report is planned to be submitted to the King County Council by the beginning of September and approved by early November. This section will be updated as next steps are identified and the report advances through the following timeline.

A spreadsheet with the total number of tests completed, the name, city and subregion of the test site, protected classes tested, type of test (policy, differential treatment), and test results is included in the final report packet. As of May 31, 2019, the Fair Housing Center of Washington completed eighty-two (82) tests, of which forty-three (43) were negative and thirty-nine (39) were positive. The violations observed during this contract were either differential treatment based on a protected class status or discriminatory policies that placed additional barriers to housing due to a person's inclusion in a protected class. For tests indicating differential treatment violations, the FHCW recommends additional testing to determine if there is a pattern of differential treatment based on a protected class. For tests indicating one or more discriminatory policies, the FHCW recommends a technical letter advising the test site to correct their policies so that they adhere to fair housing laws. For either type of fair housing violation, the FHCW may pursue enforcement of fair housing laws if a pattern of discrimination is determined. Of the thirty-nine (39) positive tests, thirty-two (32) had recommendations for additional testing for differential treatment based on a protected class.

Additional testing as well as sending of technical letters are both recommended to 1) further identify potentially systemic barriers to fair housing, 2) make violators aware of their actions and 3) bring said violators into compliance with Fair Housing law. In addition, increased fair housing education, including annual fair housing training throughout the county may help to combat instances of discrimination, for both new and seasoned property managers, leasing agents and other actors in the housing space.

The adopted sales and use tax will be deducted from the existing sales tax so that there will not be an increase in sales and use taxes. Backp_round Information: On July 2, 2019, Community Services Manager Sarah Bridgeford provided the Council with an update on Laws of 2019, Chapter 338 and recommended moving forward with a resolution of intent and subsequent ordinance in the fall. The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the program and request that Council pass a resolution of intent to participate in the program. Laws of 2019, Chapter 338. Laws of 2019, Chapter 338 was enacted in 2019 to encourage investments in affordable housing and/or supportive housing. The revenue sharing program does not increase sales tax, but instead allows for the City of Federal way to recapture a portion of the existing sales tax to use it in the following ways: • Acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; • Funding operations and maintenance costs of new units; or For cities with populations fewer than 100,000, provide rental assistance. The revenue will be capped based on fiscal year 2019, which ended on June 30, 2019. The estimates based on 2018 sales tax would provide $124,142 to Federal Way for eligible uses. The bill includes the ability for cities to recapture a larger portion of the sales tax (0.0146%) if the City has implemented a qualifying local tax; otherwise the 210 Rev. 7/18 second 0.0073% will be available to King County, which has passed a resolution of intent and ordinance implementing the tax on August 28, 2019. Qualifying taxes. There are four qualifying taxes to access a larger portion of the sales tax recapture provided in Laws of 2019, Chapter 338. The City of Federal Way is not authorized to impose the tax provided by RCW 82.14.460 as King County has already imposed the tax. Two of the taxes are property taxes allowed by RCW 84.52.105 and RCW 84.55.050. The final option is a sales tax increase of 1/10 of 1% to be used for affordable housing as permitted by RCW 82.14.530. At this time, a qualifying tax is not being recommended. Resolution of intent. Laws of 2019, Chapter 338 went into effect on July 28, 2019. To participate, the City must pass a resolution of intent within six months of the effective date. Length of time. The tax may be in place for up to 20 years. Pooling of funds with South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP). There is discussion among SKHHP participants and tentative agreement that pooling of funds will provide the most effective means by which to invest in affordable housing. More information will be provided as SKHHP continues its discussion. Prioritizing use of the funds. Should Council pass the resolution of intent and a subsequent ordinance, staff will prepare policies and recommendation for prioritizing use of the funds for Council consideration. 211 Rev. 7/18 RESOLUTION NO.
