requirement, the City of Burien was not able to attend the last SKHHP meeting. Chair
Nancy Backus recognized the City of Burien’s Municipal Champion Award for
exceptional contributions to the state of affordable housing in their community.
V. CHECK-IN ACTIVITY
Opportunity for Board members to get to know each other a little better. Board members
responded to two questions, description of how they came to their current positions and
the funniest or most fun situation they’ve experienced at work.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
a. HB 1406. San Filippo provided an update on tracking pooling HB 1406 funds. Since
the last meeting Renton has enacted the enabling Ordinance. In light of immediate
ATTACHMENT A
Page 2 of 27
assistance responses to COVID-19 crisis, Cities that passed intent to pool
resolutions will be asked to revisit policy decisions with regard to:
i. Clarification on whether the intent to pool is based on ALL other SKHHP
partner cities committing to pool.
ii. Clarification on the proportion of funds and whether that is based on other
cities committing a specified proportion.
iii. Length of commitment to pool funds.
Establishing these clarifications will enable next steps to establish a SKHHP Housing
Capital Fund.
State law states that HB 1406 funds may be pooled with other jurisdictions through an
interlocal agreement. City legal opinion that because the interlocal agreement forming
SKHHP does not specifically address HB 1406 funds it is not sufficient to meet this
legislative requirement. Staff work group recommends a separate interlocal agreement
for pooling HB 1406 funds.
San Filippo asked Board members for input on the three policy decisions related to
amending pooling resolutions.
Brian Wilson said Burien’s intent is to pool funds; we will have more impact as a
collaborative and Burien remains supportive of that effort.
D’Sean Quinn said he would like to see language on pooling funds, the priorities, and
articulation of the end goal to leverage affordable housing. Tukwila made decision to
address emergency assistance for community members as a stop gap measure. He
would like opportunities to articulate the regional approach and the value and intent.
Backus acknowledged how much COVID crisis has changed things. Auburn still intends
to pool HB 1406 funds.
Cimaomo said if COVID hadn’t hit they would have pooled funds. Covington
councilmembers want to see more specifics on how and where funds will be spent.
Discussion and general support for expression of high level goals and intent that will
remind all parties of the purpose and benefit of pooling funds.
Sunaree Marshall said the HB 1923 work being done will help provide data and analysis
of the need in South King County that will he lp further define the details. She said as
they have sought to determine income levels that are most at risk of displacement and
identified funding sources that could support a project that meets those needs there is a
mismatch, unless they are in TOD areas.
Normandy Park and Kent indicated commitment to pool HB 1406 funds.
San Filippo said after amendments are made to the pooling resolutions, the second step
will be to execute an interlocal agreement specific to pooling HB 1406 funds.
Mark Santos-Johnson said Renton committed to pooling funds for the first year and
expressed the need to address pooling HB 1406 funds in an interlocal agreement. The
interlocal agreement will help with addressing some of the specifics that have been
ATTACHMENT A
Page 3 of 27
discussed. Establishing housing fund was controversial and aspirational in the
beginning, we are very lucky to have these funds and the opportunity they provide.
b. 2020-2021 Work Plan. San Filippo reviewed the briefings held with member
jurisdictions. The next steps will be SKHHP Board adoption at the July meeting,
followed by individual jurisdiction adoption in August/September. She said edits to
the work plan will reflect suggestions to integrate racial equity into the actions
identified. Quinn clarified a suggestion from City of Tukwila on publicly-owned
properties and suggested the Board consider property as a contribution. Quinn also
referenced presentation that Marshall did in 2019 and suggestion to share that
presentation more broadly.
Marshall said King County is working on ways to address displacement and one of
those is affordable homeownership. They won’t be submitting anything until September
of next year, but many of the areas included are in the SKHHP Sphere of Influence.
There may be an opportunity in the future to share this work.
Discussion on the statewide eviction moratorium expiration not coinciding with the end
of the crisis. Question about transferable lessons learned from the sheltering response
to COVID-19. Marshall responded that many of these shelters have shifted people that
were in large area congregate settings into individual rooms/hotel rooms and they saw
the number of calls for emergency services for that population go down, showing the
value of privacy and benefits to individuals. The AHC talked about whether impacts of
COVID-19 might provide acquisition opportunities of hotels or other lodging. Backus
encouraged King County to work very closely with the City where they are located and
opportunities to work together on projects.
Marshall indicated the same sentiment was shared by all SCA members at the AHC
meeting. Ralph indicated they are advocating for COVID hotel in Kent to go back on the
commercial real estate market. Haven’t got commitment from King County one way or
the other and are still working on an MOU for the current situation.
c. SKHHP Advisory Board. San Filippo provided an update on SKHHP Advisory
Board progress. Staff work group recommended asking the community about the
right representation to accurately represent equity and necessary knowledge base
and create community buy-in. At the next meeting the Board will be asked to review
the outreach list and community outreach proposal.
d. SKHHP position update. San Filippo provided an update on the Program
Coordinator, the position is being reclassified within Auburn’s system. Staff work
group will review final draft position description, SKHHP Board approval of position
description at July meeting. Recruitment and posting of the position will begin in
early August with a target hire date of October 1.
VII. EDUCATIONAL ITEM
ATTACHMENT A
Page 4 of 27
a. Affordable Housing 101 – follow-up discussion. San Filippo provided an overview
of the presentation from the May Board meeting and after asking warm-up polling
questions opened the conversation up for discussion.
1. Did the presentation change your perspective on the role of local/regional
government in producing and preserving affordable housing in South King County? If
so, how?
Discussion on the cost per unit, the quality of affordable housing, and common
misperceptions. Backus shared that she sees the importance of local government as
co-conspirator, not just an ally. Quinn indicated the need to have a collective voic e
amongst jurisdictions and acknowledge that all jurisdictions have people experiencing
challenges and job of local government is to not turn our backs on our community
members and expressed the importance of addressing these challenges together.
Marshall said she has found it helpful to practice the words to defend affordable housing
as a viable thing that we need in all of our communities and articulating how we came to
be comfortable with where we stand and the education that we have gone through to
get to be affordable housing advocates. We didn’t all start out as affordable housing
champions; Brian helps to understand complexities and how it all comes together.
Backus said everyone has a different idea of affordable housing, we still have a long
way to go to remove the stigma often associated with who needs affordable housing .
Santos-Johnson said it underscored needs and opportunities for SKHHP, easy to look
at this as something that is happening to us but challenge SKHHP to think about how
we can be more proactive in supporting and funding projects that respond to community
needs. Many of the funding sources have policies and priorities that don’t represent
South King County needs, for example WSHFC may prioritize 100+ unit projects but this
may not be the local priority. Understand and advocate for changes in those policies
and priorities so that we are an active participant and receiver of those funds.
2. How can regional/sub-regional collaboration help produce and/or preserve
affordable housing in South King County?
Marshall said through the Countywide Planning Policies that will guide comprehensive
plans that each jurisdiction will have to develop. Local jurisdictions can be intentional on
the policy and program practices they implement to get the type of development they
want in their community. How do we help move together to adopt policies and practices
that help the region as a whole.
Backus emphasized the need for jurisdictions to help address barriers and have good
communication throughout the process, she shared an example of a tight permitting
timeline and how they were able to work with the developer to meet the timel ine.
Marty Kooistra, HDC, referenced memo sent to the Board. The challenge of large metro
area is how to manage our local control with a regional mindset when we are still trying
to find symbiosis with our regional and neighboring local governments. Affordable
ATTACHMENT A

housing can be economic development. Communities can attract and display vibrancy
and life and SKHHP has a chance to shape that. The YIMBY act is being advocated at
the federal level to help address inclusionary land use practices, if they can’t get it
passed at the federal level they will be trying to pass it at the state level.

RESOLUTION 2020-02 – ATTACHMENT A
SOUTH KING HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS PARTNERS
2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN
Purpose: Establish a 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan that is consistent with the
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement and shaped by member jurisdictions. The 2020-2021
SKHHP Work Plan reflects individual jurisdiction needs and interests while furthering
the overall purpose of SKHHP to increase the available options for South King County
residents to access affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing stock.
Introduction: The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP)
was established through an interlocal agreement to work together and share resources
to increase the available options for South King County residents to access affordable
housing and preserve the existing affordable housing stock.
The SKHHP 2020-2021 work plan includes three major areas of work that will facilitate
implementation of the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement: governance and administration;
policy and planning; and education and outreach. These three major work areas are
broken into five objectives.
Governance and administration is covered in Objective 1 and includes program-wide
management activities that will be completed annually including developing and
adopting an annual work plan and budget. This work area also includes start-up
procedures including establishing decision-making protocols and reporting procedures,
and convening a community advisory committeeboard.
Policy and planning is covered in Objectives 2 and 3 and includes advocating for and
establishing a SKHHP affordable housing capital fund; and collaborating wit h partners
to enhance local policies and programs that accelerate access to affordable housing,
protect existing housing stock, and provide housing security.
Outreach and education is covered in Objectives 4 and 5 and includes representing
South King County and its unique affordable housing needs at all decision tables; and
furthering the understanding of the spectrum of affordable housing options and the
range of related needs and opportunities.
Background: During 2018 and 2019 staff of member jurisdiction s discussed a
wide range of work plan ideas for SKHHP; the goal was to identify objectives and action
items for an 18-month work plan. In June 2019, each jurisdiction was asked what
SKHHP “must do”, “should do”, or “could do” during the course of the first 18-months. In
ATTACHMENT C
May 13July 13, 2020 SKHHP 2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN Page 8 of 27
June 2019, the SKHHP Executive Board reviewed and approved the list by focusing on
the “must do” and “should do” items.
The 2020-2021 work plan operationalizes the list approved by the SKHHP Executive
Board in 2019 and incorporates the HB 1406 sales tax credit and the sub-regional
housing assessment made possible by HB 1923 grant funds. The sub-regional housing
assessment is being coordinated by six of the nine SKHHP partner cities (SoKiHo). The
2020-2021 work plan also identifies allies like the Housing Development Consortium
(HDC) and King County with goals that align with SKHHP that will augment staff
capacity. The 2020-2021 work plan prioritizes the “must do” and “should do” activities
for 2020. Activities that were part of the 2019 list of activities will be reassessed for
possible incorporation in the 2022 work plan.
In February 2020 King County had its first reported case of COVID-19, the disease
caused by the coronavirus. Since February, the pandemic has continued to expand and
we have yet to see the full extent of the virus. On March 23, 2020 Governor Inslee
announced a statewide order requiring everyone in the state to stay home for two
weeks. The order required everyone to stay home except to pursue essential activities,
banned all gatherings for social, spiritual, and recreational purposes, and closed all
businesses except those deemed essential. The Stay Home, Stay Healthy initiative has
since been extended through May, 2020 with a four phase approach to opening
businesses that will begin on May 5, 2020.
In response to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, federal, state, and local governments
have mobilized emergency operations centers, implemented temporary policies to
prevent residential and business evictions, and passed unprecedented stimulus
packages in the hopes to lessen the impacts of COVID-19 to individuals and
businesses. The impacts of this crisis are still unfolding and much of the recovery effort
has yet to be determined. During this unprecedented time, staff capacity and local
resources may need to adapt. This may require SKHHP to reanalyze priorities and/or
shift the timeline for the work identified in the work plan.
Progress reports: Consistent with the Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP Executive
Manager will submit quarterly budget performance and progress reports on the status of
the work plan elements to the SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each
member jurisdiction. To be consistent with the administering agency’s finance
department, quarterly progress reports will be provided as follows:
Quarter 1: May
Quarter 2: August
Quarter 3: November
Quarter 4: February
Next steps: In accordance with the Interlocal Agreement, the 2020-2021 SKHHP Work
Plan will be approved by the legislative body of each member jurisdiction and the
ATTACHMENT C
May 13July 13, 2020 SKHHP 2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN Page 9 of 27
SKHHP Executive Board. The timeline for review and adoption of the 2020 SKHHP
Work Plan is as follows:
May-June – Draft 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan and Draft 2021 operational
budget reviewed by legislative body of each jurisdiction and SKHHP Executive
Board.
July-August – review and adoption of 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan and 2021
operational budget by SKHHP Executive Board.

SKHHP ADVISORY BOARD
COMMUNITY OUTREACH RPOPOSAL
A. OVERVIEW
The SKHHP Interlocal Agreement calls for the creation of a SKHHP Advisory Board to
provide advice and recommendations to the Executive Board before the end of the first
year of SKHHP operations. The start of the year is defined as the hiring date of the
SKHHP Executive Manager.
The Interlocal Agreement includes a broad outline of the Advisory Board but additional
detail is needed to define the representation, purpose, and procedures of the Advisory
Board. Strategic community outreach can be used to guide the structure of the Advisory
Board to create a Board that represents the diversity, needs, and priorities of South
King County. This will help foster community buy-in and will help to ensure that SKHHP
Executive Board decisions are equitable and grounded by community interests.
Community outreach will begin with existing networks within each SKHHP jurisdiction.
As feasible, outreach will be conducted through one-on-one conversations or small
groups of no more than five people. In light of COVID-19 restrictions, all outreach will be
conducted over the phone or using virtual meeting platforms.
Each conversation will include background information on SKHHP, an overview of the
Advisory Board, and discussion of how the SKHHP Advisory Board should be set up to
help address the most pressing housing issues, challenges, and priorities in their
communities. The purpose of the community outreach is to involve community members
and leaders early in the process of creating a SKHHP Advisory Board.
B. OUTREACH LIST
1. Each partner jurisdiction provides contact information for three to four individuals,
organizations, or community groups for initial outreach. (See attached outreach
list).
2. The outreach list was developed with the following four considerations:
a) Contacts are specific to the jurisdiction;
b) Contacts are strongly connected to housing needs/services in the community,
c) Contacts represent diverse community perspectives and populations that are
the most disproportionately impacted by the housing crisis, and
d) Contacts have the ability to reach out to their group/community members for
additional feedback.

Board could have the most impact on?
2. How do you think the SKHHP Advisory Board can be set up to be successful in
addressing those housing issues? (i.e. decision-making structure, educational
component, length of terms for Advisory Board members).
3. Who do you think should be represented on the SKHHP Advisory Board? (could
be individuals, groups, organizations, specific populations).
4. Do you have any other suggestions or concerns you would like to share with
regard to the formation of the SKHHP Advisory Board?
5. Do you have suggestions of other people, organizations, or community groups
we should talk to you, would you be willing to provide contact information and/or
an introduction?
