V. OLD BUSINESS
1. SKHHP Housing Capital Fund with Cedar River Group
San Filippo introduced John Howell and Robert Feldstein from Cedar River Group to continue the
discussion on the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. John Howell explained that today's conversation is
a continuation of the high level conversation that began last month. Robert Feldstein reviewed last
month's feedback and themes of pragmatism and a focus on impact to meet the greatest needs.
Tom McLeod asked for feedback on pitfalls to avoid as we create the capital fund structure. Sunaree
Marshall suggested if we are focused on greatest need to remember to not always pick the easiest
option if there is something more impactful. Marty Kooistra suggested avoiding duplicating other
potential resources with low or no leverage value.
Howell introduced the following discussion questions:
1. How do you feel about the philosophy that in any given year contributions to the capital fund
(from philanthropy or local funds from members) would be used in an individual
jurisdiction/unincorporated area, but over time the funding support for projects would be spread
across the SKHHP sphere of influence?
Cimaomo — weight value of the project over specific geographic location, choosing what will best
meet needs in South King County regardless of money coming from philanthropic or public funds.
Page 2 of 28
ATTACH M ENT A
Buxton — acknowledges the value of SKHHP is that it is a regional partnership and the benefit may be
to the region over the specific cities in question.
McCleod — there should be an equitable and accountability piece to this and wants buy in and
accountability from all the cities. Start where we can get the biggest bang for our buck and over time
work to be more geographically equitable.
Sunaree Marshall — we should look strategically after a few years to evaluate where projects aren't
happening and why — for example: did we get proposals or did we receive inadequate proposals, do
developers not want to build there, were there political or communication challenges that may need
problem solving and joint capacity building around. As a group, we will need to define "bang for our
buck" or readiness - does this mean number of units or depth of subsidy and impact on those most
cost burdened, location based on transit access, serving people most disadvantaged in the current
housing system, etc.
Colleen Brandt -Schluter - it many sources of funds, the element of readiness will likely dictate where
a project gets built as well. We should aim for geographic spread, but will have to go where it pencils
while staying as flexible as possible since we can't know what will come our way.
Ryan Mclrvin — echoes comments about the region benefiting as a whole which then benefits
individual cities.
Merina Hanson — on a subregional level, there are often very few South King County applications so
it will be useful to follow Sunaree's suggestions. Challenges we hadn't considered may occur and we
will need to ensure agencies in our cities have technical assistance and other help they may need.
Sarah Bridgeford — balance of feasibility and readiness and looking over time at geographic
distribution and understanding why that is happening and how to support local projects to achieve the
geographic distribution.
2. Based on decisions you've already made, the capital fund will include contributions from
members (i.e. 1406 dollars) and philanthropy (i.e. creation of a 501c3). What is the expectation
about whether all cities should contribute something (funding or land) to the capital fund —
annually or over a period of time? Once the capital fund is created can funds be used in a city
that has not contributed to the capital fund? Should the size of local contributions to the fund
influence where the capital funds are used?
McLeod — every jurisdiction should contribute to the capital fund, whether it's land or revenue.
Sue -Ann Hohimer — Normandy Park makes a really small contribution compared to the rest of
SKHHP member cities but is committed to continuing that. Additional capital funds would be really
difficult on a public level. Residents of the city would likely be able to contribute human capital (elbow
grease etc.). Echoes regional approach and support for the region as a whole.
Buxton — the goal is to create and maintain affordable housing and reduce homelessness and if that
happens, doesn't matter where it happens as long as it happens. The ILA almost removes city
boundaries and creates an overarching big group situation.
Cimaomo — we are one big entity helping each other out and we should focus on what will benefit
South King County the most, for example one city provides land and other cities provide money.
Hanson — recognize that it's really hard for smaller cities to contribute capital funds outside the dues
and wants to be as inclusive as possible despite different budget issues.
Page 3 of 28
ATTACHMENT A
Marshall — King County already manages a regional capital fund and doesn't contribute to ARCH's
capital pool but tries to ensure KC as a whole is competitive for other sources of funding. Possibility of
tapping into county's bonding authority that is something of value but not the capital fund itself.
3. As we get deeper into the design of the capital fund and decision/allocation processes, we are
suggesting using the staff work group to help us develop more detailed recommendations to
review with the Board. Is that approach acceptable? Are there any additional directions or
questions you would like to provide for the staff work group?
All Executive Board members approved of moving forward with the staff work group.

VI. EDUCATIONAL ITEM
a. Eastside Legal Assistance Program and Housing Justice Project
Trish Abbate introduced Chris Lovings and Katharine Nyden from Eastside Legal Assistance
Program. Lovings introduced Tram Tran-Larson from the Housing Justice Project. Nyden summarized
both the state and federal eviction moratoriums set to expire on June 30, 2021. Overview of recent
legislation including the passage of HB1236 which creates statewide just cause, protecting against no
cause eviction, often rooted in discrimination. SB5160 provides a right to council for tenants and
makes WA the first state to offer this level of civil legal aid and tenant protection. It also requires that
landlords offer payment plans.
Tram Tran-Larson shared an overview of the $165 million in rental assistance coming to King County.
It will be structured similar to the CARES act, priority to 50% area median income (AMI) or below or
unemployed persons, offering up to 12 months of assistance + future 3 months and may pay rent,
utilities, or other expenses directly or indirectly due to COVID-19. Accessible through landlord fund,
King County lottery fund, or contacting a hub (17 local agencies). Currently, no procedures or
instructions in place to prep for the lifting of the moratorium. Eviction Resolution Program requires
landlord to notify the Dispute Resolution Center before commencing eviction for nonpayment of rent,
but has been problematic as tenants are unfamiliar and don't understand the documents and haven't
been responding.
Recent data demonstrates that Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Auburn are 17.4% of KC's renters, but
represent 44% of evictions, which is particularly problematic since these South King County cities are
home to a higher proportion of BIPOC community members. Black/African Americans make up 6.3%
of the total King County population yet represent 34% of evictions in King County.
If the eviction moratorium lifts on June 30, tenants can be evicted immediately if they owed money
before February 29, 2020. If tentants are offered payment plans but are late or don't agree within a
certain timeframe they will be at risk of eviction. It is unclear what the court process will be like.
Suggestions for what cities can do
• Ensure that tenants are not evicted while rental assistance is available and being processed
• Extend moratorium protections at city level
• No evictions for covid-19 related debt
Page 4 of 28
ATTACH M ENT A
• Protect tenants from rent increases
• Need to ensure that protections are not evaded
• Need to avoid evictions going through the court
Marshall added that King County is launching an eviction protection program. There is a large
landlord program that has a stop gap because as part of the program, they cannot evict until their
tenants have been screened, but this isn't in place for individual or smaller landlords. Hoping to avoid
waiting lists and tenants calling a dozen agencies but there is administrative complexity around
distributing such a large amount of money. Suggested follow-up education topic on County rental
assistance program.
VII. SKHHP 501(c)(3) with Pacifica Law Group
San Filippo introduced Deanna Gregory and Alanna Peterson. Peterson introduced herself and
shared that before the next meeting, the Executive Board will receive articles of incorporation and
bylaws to review and that today is a continuation of the high level conversation with the Board in
January. The first step is to create nonprofit entity under state law, then apply to the IRS for 501 c3
status - state process is quick but IRS process is more drawn out. Pacifica will build in flexibility in the
governance documents to be able to make changes as SKHHP's needs evolve and change.
Proposed name for the 501c3 is South King Housing and Homelessness Partners Foundation. Next
steps include creating an initial board of directors, articles of incorporation filed with the state, board
approves bylaws, and make more detailed decisions about who should be on the inaugural board of
directors (3-7 individuals, made up of SKHHP staff, Executive Board members, SKHHP partners such
as community based organizations or nonprofits focused on homelessness and affordable housing).
Governance documents state that the Executive Board receives the financial documents of the
foundation on an annual basis, along with a mechanism for the Executive Board to approve all
funding decisions.
VIII. WORK PLAN PRIORITY SETTING AND BUDGET PLANNING
San Filippo provided an overview to work plan and budget process, which will be covered in more
detail in the May meeting from 12-3. Memo outlines the process in preparation for May meeting.
IX. UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Buxton shared that on May 7, Angela San Filippo will be a featured speaker in partnership with
regional partners for a who does what presentation with ARCH, HDC, SCA and KCHA to talk through
individual organizations and how they work together along with highlights of their work. Registration
opens next week.
X. NEXT MEETING — MAY 21, 2021 — 12-3pm (NOTE: extended time)
XI. ADJOURN
San Filippo adjourned the meeting at 3:01 pm.

ATTACHMENT B
SKHHP HOUSING CAPITAL FUND
The following is a summary of SKHHP Executive Board feedback from the March 26 and April 23
Executive Board meetings.
1. What is the purpose of the Fund?
• There should be flexibility in how funds are used.
• Base decisions on use of funds on most pressing needs, and consider where there
are gaps.
• Use to create and foster relationships with funders, builders, cities.
• It must be based on outcomes — units created or preserved (several mentions of
preservation).
• Serve as bridge funds — may be "last money in".
2. What is your vision for what the Fund will accomplish in five years?
• Established credibility as a well -run fund that donors will want to support; a fund
that gets things done.
• Units have been created (TOD was mentioned) — might even have enough track
record to think about the next phase of growth.
• Positive stories — both from the perspective of people served, and the benefits to
local communities.
• Established as a good partner —with donors, cities, developers.
• Can be nimble to respond to immediate needs/opportunities.
3. How do you feel about the philosophy that in any given year contributions to the capital
fund (from philanthropy or local funds from members) would be used in an individual
jurisdiction/unincorporated area, but over time the funding support for projects would be
spread across the SKHHP sphere of influence?
• The SKHHP capital fund should be structured to support the "best value" projects for
meeting priority affordable housing needs in South King County, regardless of
location.
• Members are pooling resources to benefit South County residents, regardless of
where they live.
• There is a need to maintain good working relationships with jurisdictions for all siting
decisions for affordable units.
Page 6 of 28
ATTACHMENT B
• It may make sense to initially focus on "best bang for the buck," but over time
spread capital fund dollars equitably across the region and work to ensure equity in
benefits as well (to ensure affordable housing is being distributed across the region).
• Periodically the board and staff should examine where projects are not being
proposed and the reasons for the lack of proposals.
• While there was general support for the idea that serving the region also serves each
city, there was some reminder that over time, city councils will need to feel like they
are getting a return on their investment.
• Decisions about where to use capital fund dollars are likely to be heavily influenced
by project readiness and availability of other housing funds, so should remain
flexible.
4. Based on decisions you've already made, the capital fund will include contributions from
members (i.e. 1406 dollars) and philanthropy (i.e. creation of a 5016). What is the
expectation about whether all cities should contribute something (funding or land) to the
capital fund — annually or over a period of time? Once the capital fund is created can
funds be used in a city that has not contributed to the capital fund? Should the size of
local contributions to the fund influence where the capital funds are used?
• There is some interest in having every city contribute to the capital fund over time
(either funding or land) although there is recognition that this may be challenging for
some smaller communities (and it's important to be inclusive).
• Capital funds should be used where projects are proposed and ready, as opposed to
being based on contributions to the capital fund.
• Ability to use 1406 or 1590 dollars as a contribution might entice some other cities in
South King County to join (although some confusion on operation vs capital funds).
• Based on the County's experience with ARCH, it is unlikely that the County will
contribute directly to the SKHHP capital fund, however, they will want to coordinate
on how to jointly support projects and leverage other funds.
S. As we get deeper into the design of the capital fund and decision/allocation processes, we
are suggesting using the staff work group to help us develop more detailed
recommendations to review with the Board. Is that approach acceptable? Are there
additional directions or questions you would like to provide for the staff work group?
• Executive Board confirmation to work with the staff work group on the more
technical components and develop recommendations for Board consideration.

Landlords cannot evict tenants without "just -
cause" (e.g. nonpayment of rent, landlord moving
into unit, etc.), except if initial lease term was 12-
months and subsequent lease terms are between
6-12 months, a landlord can terminate with a 60
day no -cause notice.
Notices to terminate must provide all information
known to the landlord at the time of the notice
so tenant can defend themselves.
If a tenant permanently vacates for a reason
other than the landlord terminating the tenancy
(such as death, deportation, etc.), the remaining
occupants can apply to take over the rental
agreement.
