IV. EDUCATION ITEM
Alexis Rinck with the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) provided an overview
and update on subregional planning. A high level overview of the role of KCRHA within Seattle and
King County was provided, along with KCRHA's organizational structure, and the work that led to the
creation of the entity. KCRHA assumed contracting from King County and Seattle and will take on a
full system re -bid in 2023, which holds the potential for significant changes. KCRHA is also seeking
additional funding to add peer navigation outreach, high quality data tracking and bridge housing.
As part of the subregional planning work, within South King County Rinck has met with 71 different
people representing 51 different organizations and attended several provider and jurisdictional
meetings throughout the subregion to build relationships and direct connections. Rinck will share the
spreadsheet and requests feedback if any community leaders or partners are missing. South King
County site visits are also underway to see services in person. A snapshot report will be released
next week, which will outline the timeline and work conducted so far. Paul Tan will be the new South
King County Sub -Regional Planning Coordinator, beginning October 1.
V. NEW BUSINESS
a. Inaugural Advisory Board recommended appointments
Trish Abbate provided a summary of the Advisory Board recruitment, selection process, and
recommended candidates. Abbate reviewed adopted Resolution 2021-02 and highlighted the
°age 2 of 21
ATTACHMENT A
identified priority values and experience sought in Advisory Board candidates along with application
and interview questions, which inquired about candidates connection to South King County, their
understanding of and commitment to racial equity work, what they expected to contribute and gain
from participation on the Advisory Board, and why increasing affordable housing access in South
King County is important. Communications and outreach to promote recruitment were detailed along
with the selection committee creation and selection process. 19 applications were received, with 17
received before the priority deadline of June 30,15 interviews were conducted;, one applicant
canceled the interview and declined to reschedule, and one candidate did not meet the minimum
criteria. The selection committee considered geographic area, personal demographic identities, and
connections to communities and areas of expertise. The full SKHHP Staff Work Group met to conduct
a final review of applicants and reach a consensus Advisory Board recommendation.
Grounded in the knowledge that BIPOC communities are disproportionately represented in people
experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity and are currently and historically
underrepresented in positions of power, SKHHP committed to ensuring Advisory Board
demographics represent South King County. An estimated 45% of South King County residents
identify as BIPOC. Given the composition detailed in this recommendation, 58% of the Advisory
Board identifies as BIPOC. The collective identities of the recommended board include individuals
who identify as Asian, Black, Latinx, immigrant, veteran, and LBGTQ+. The geographic
representation includes individuals who live and work in Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines,
Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County, as well as those who work in
professional roles that serve the South King County region.
The selection committee identified deeper geographic diversity along with affordable housing
development and housing finance expertise as missing elements and decided to maintain three
empty seats for additional targeted recruitment, which has already begun.
Recommended Candidates
Andrew Calkins
Ryan Disch-Guzman
Idabelle Fosse
Kaitlin Heinen
Jennifer Hurley
Aaron Johnson
Amy Kangas
Uche Okezie
Dorsol Plants
Maju Qureshi
Linda Smith

Discussion ensued on whether to appoint candidates individually or as a whole. Discussion occurred
around potential conflict of interests in candidates and the need to create rules and guidelines around
recusal and also the need to create a process for removal of an Advisory Board member if concerns
arise in the future. These processes and details will be part of a future conversation around bylaws
with the Advisory Board itself where the Executive Board will have final approval.
Brian Wilson moved to approve and appoint all the recommended candidates as a whole; Tom
McLeod seconded the motion. Motion passed with one opposed (7-1, Cimaomo opposed).

b. Housing Action Plan Implementation Grants discussion
HB1923 included a funding opportunity through the Department of Commerce for Housing Action
Plans. Six SKHHP cities have worked on Housing Action Plans over the past year. The funding is
available for implementation of existing Housing Action Plans or the creation of new Housing Action
Plans for jurisdictions who have not created one yet. In collaboration with the six SKHHP cities with
existing Housing Action Plans, there is a proposal to request funding for SKHHP to create an
affordable housing tracking and monitoring program, incorporating regulated and unregulated
affordable housing. San Filippo asked for a letter of support from the Executive Board, general Board
agreement to coordinate with SKHHP Chair to provide a letter of support.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
a. Follow-up discussion on Tim Thomas presentation
Following last month's Executive Board meeting and Tim Thomas' presentation, San Filippo
facilitated a conversation about how SKHHP can use what was shared to inform priorities and work
moving forward. Comments shared via email after the presentation included:
- Spend more time understanding how to preserve existing affordable housing and keeping rents low
- Tenant Protections
- How to communicate effectively with wealthier subregions about efforts to increase affordability and
reduce displacement
- Work quickly to stand up capital fund and begin fund deployment
- As we move forward within our means, need to explore priorities before taking on new projects or
goals
- Helpful for SKHHP to provide additional education/training, facilitation, and tools/examples to help
local government better address these issues
- SKHHP is a means to amplify voices of our local governments in meeting regional need for
affordable housing and gathering data, resources, and support that partner cities may need in
addressing housing challenges
- Consider larger forums and trainings with SKHHP member cities to learn more about and help
advance these issues
- SKHHP is already applying appropriate philosophy to the information presented through local,
regional, and state advocacy work
- SKHHP staff is at capacity in meeting our present goals, is the question asking if we should consider
reprioritizing?
Discussion around community driven development and the opportunity for that in South King County
and how to utilize the housing capital fund to support organizations who are successfully working to
prevent displacement. Additional comments shared about the eviction moratorium lifting and the
process of determining what the best combination of tenant protections and policies is to prevent
evictions. Burien shared that a local eviction moratorium is being considered with the end date to be
determined either December 31 or January 15, 2022. Marty Kooistra highlighted the importance of
right of notice for existing affordable housing combined with the ability to purchase such properties.
Conversation took place around rental housing registration and the role that plays in tracking
affordable housing.
b. SKHHP Housing Capital Fund update
San Filippo provided a brief update that work is ongoing in the background and at the next meeting
the evaluation criteria that was introduced at the last meeting will be discussed and the topic of

Page 5 of 21
ATTACHMENT B
SKHHP CAPITAL FUND EVALUATION CRITERIA
General
Evaluation of applications will focus on the following key areas:
(1) Feasibility and cost effectiveness (i.e., Trust Fund award per unit/SF, total development cost
per unit/SF, reasonableness of budgets and proforma, adequacy of resources and ongoing
sustainability, and site control).
(2) Relevance of the project to local housing needs, including the extent to which the project is
consistent with the local plans (e.g., Consolidated Plan, Housing Element, or area plans), and the
extent to which housing need will be met and help to achieve SKHHP's stated priorities.
(3) Suitability of the project sponsor and development team, including any track record and/or
structures for success, adequacy of management plans, duration of affordability, ongoing
sustainability, adequacy of support services, and firmness of financial commitments or likelihood
of receiving those commitments.
(4) Advancing the goals of equity, including the extent that projects are community -driven
and/or reduce or undo disproportionate harm to communities most impacted by historic injustice
and displacement, including extremely low-income households with incomes at or below 30
percent of area median income and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities
Specific
The following specific information areas will be evaluated for data to support the key focus areas
described above.
A. Development and Operating Budgets
Projects will be evaluated for cost effectiveness on a per unit and per square foot basis. Higher up-
front development costs may be justified to create long-term operational efficiencies (e.g., through
use of high -efficiency building systems), provided that those increased costs have a relatively short
payback period. SKHHP may use third party reviewers to evaluate estimated construction costs.
Development and operating budget forms should provide detailed explanation to support estimated
expenses. If support services are identified as an integral part of the project, a detailed services
budget must also be submitted. Proposed financing will be evaluated for feasibility based on
expressed interest from lenders and investors, and applicant (or applicant team, including more -
experienced consultants and partners) should have experience in obtaining financing, and other
competitive criteria (e.g., estimated tax credit score if LIHTC equity is proposed).
B. Project Readiness
Projects will be evaluated for their readiness to proceed. Applicants should demonstrate full site
control, and have initiated the intake process with the local permitting authority. Applicants should
have a "letter of consistency" from the jurisdiction where the project will be located affirming the
project is consistent with the Consolidated Plan, local comprehensive plan and its housing element,
and any local housing action plans. Projects that propose significant fundraising should demonstrate
steps taken to prepare for and implement a capital campaign plan. Projects that will rely on public
funding to cover the costs of ongoing operations or services should identify and describe the
availability of such funding, and report on the project's competitiveness for such funds based on
discussions with likely funders.
C. Development Team Track Record
Project review will take into consideration how well experienced development teams have performed
on previously funded projects and, in the interest in increasing the diversity of housing and community
Page 6 of 21
ATTACHMENT B
developers, how less experienced developers (or partners/consultants on their team) demonstrate an
understanding of the steps and structures needed for success. When there is an applicable track
record (for the applicant or partner/consultants), the application should identify lessons learned from
those projects and describe how performance/actions have been modified as a result.
D. Property and Asset Management Capacity
The proposed property and asset management entities will be evaluated on their experience,
performance, or developing capacity in managing comparable developments. Successful asset
managers will have a detailed understanding of the physical and financial condition of their properties,
regularly updated capital needs assessments, and thoughtful policies for balancing the objective of
maintaining affordable rents and planning for healthy reserves and operating income to cover current
and future expenses. If a project is in its preliminary stages, a boiler plate management plan may be
submitted with the application. A final management plan will be required prior to contracting.
A successful management plan will include the following information:
(i) Occupancy: Information in the occupancy management plan must include lease information
(length, tenant eligibility and selection standards, standards for termination of lease,
eviction, lease renewal) and marketing strategies including local outreach.
(ii) Facility: The facility management plan should include provisions for both routine and long-
term building maintenance.
(iii) Supportive Services: If applicable, the applicant must describe how any supportive services
identified as an integral part of the project will be provided, either directly or through
linkages with an existing network of service agencies and describe how those services will
be in accordance with best practices for the intended population.
E. Displacement and Relocation
Any activity which would result in the displacement of existing residents, especially low- and/or
moderate -income residents and/or BIPOC residents is discouraged. If displacement may occur, the
applicant must submit, as part of the application for capital funds, a plan for providing relocation
assistance to the displaced residents. If relocation may occur, the applicant is strongly encouraged to
contact the King County Housing Finance Program's Relocation Officer at (206) 263-9105
immediately to discuss project details and determine the relocation plan and process appropriate for
your project and funding needs. Relocation costs should be included in the project budget. Projects
funded with federal dollars (e.g., CDBG funds) must meet all applicable federal relocation
requirements.
F. Supporting Equity
The proposed project will be evaluated based on whether the development will advance the goals of
equity, including preserving existing communities at risk of displacement (including manufactured
housing communities); increasing opportunities for extremely low-income households (households
with incomes at or below 30 percent of area median income); creating meaningful project
partnerships (including with BIPOC-lead organizations) that give voice and ownership to residents
and communities of color; affirmatively marketing new housing opportunities to communities less
likely to access opportunities in South King County; providing affordable housing as a public
investment — and potential catalyst — in areas that have traditionally received less services and/or
public investments; and addressing historic inequities in access to homeownership.

ATTACHMENT B
G. Nature of location
As part of the decision process, reviewers will want to understand how the proposed development fits
into the neighborhood and would help further any number of public policy goals. Examples of
furthering public policy goals could include:
- Locating in a "high opportunity" location, with proximity to or easy access to jobs, grocery
stores, pharmacies, schools/childcare, transportation, and community or cultural centers;
- Providing affordable housing in areas at high -risk of displacement or experiencing a loss of
naturally occurring affordable housing; and
- Investing public dollars in areas traditionally/historically underserved or as a catalyst for further
investments and development.

recovery by:
• maintaining and strengthening
pandemic -related renter protections.
• Providing assistance for foreclosure
prevention
SUPPORT LOCAL PLANNING
Support efforts to secure local funding for
comprehensive plan updates that increase
opportunities for affordable housing and
counter displacement, and support
implementation of past legislation like E2SHB
1220.
FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Increase existing funding sources like the
State Housing Trust Fund and authorize
new, progressive sources that do not
disproportionately burden low-income
households.
Support funding and policy decisions that
reflect the role of affordable
homeownership in ensuring wealth
building for individuals and families
affected by racial and ethnic segregation,
marginalization, and discrimination.
Provide direct funding to the South King
Housing and Homelessness Partners
(SKHHP) Housing Capital Fund. SKHHP
partner cities established a mechanism to
pool sales tax credit revenues authorized
by SHB 1406. State matching funds will
provide much needed investment in
affordable housing in South King County.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURIEN, WASHINGTON, EXTENDING
BURIEN'S TEMPORARY EVICTION MORATORIUM UNTIL 11:59 PM ON
JANUARY 15, 2022, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND TAKING EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY UPON ADOPTION BY THE COUNCIL TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
HEALTH, SAFETY, AND PEACE.
WHEREAS, in response to COVID-19 and guidance and warnings from the Center for Disease
Control and the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Washington State
Governor Jay Inslee proclaimed a State of Emergency in Proclamation 20-05 on February 29, 2020;
WHEREAS, that proclamation directed state agencies and departments "to utilize state
resources and to do everything reasonably possible to assist affected political subdivisions in an
effort to respond to and recover from the outbreak;"
WHEREAS, the Burien City Council finds that the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted
the economic lives of many of its residents;
WHEREAS, some residents are renters, and as a direct result of COVID-19, some renters are
struggling or unable to pay their rent without government assistance or time to collect paychecks;
WHEREAS, even before COVID-19, the nonpayment of rent was the leading cause of
evictions in the State of Washington;
WHEREAS, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's 2020
Annual Homeless Assessment Report Part 1 to Congress, there were 580,466 people experiencing
homelessness in the United States on a single night in 2020, an increase of 12,751 people, or 2.2
percent from 2019, marking the 41h consecutive year that total homelessness has increased in the
United States of America;
WHEREAS, the HUD 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, in Exhibit 1.6 on page 10,
noted that in 2020, Washington state is estimated to have 22,923 people experiencing
homelessness;
WHEREAS, the HUD 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, in Exhibit 1.8 on page 11,
revealed that from 2019 — 2020, Washington state, the 131h most populous state in 2019
(7,278,717), had the third -largest increase in people experiencing homelessness with 1,346 more

1,381 increase in people experiencing homelessness (with a 2019 population of 28,995,881), and
California with a 10,270 increase in people experiencing homelessness (with a 2019 population of
39,512,223);
WHEREAS, the concern of evictions and the likely increase in homelessness that would result
prompted Governor Inslee and other governors throughout the United States to impose temporary
eviction moratoria;
WHEREAS, Governor Inslee's Moratorium on Evictions, Proclamation 20-19, dated March
18, 2020, found that "a temporary moratorium on evictions throughout Washington State at this
time will help reduce economic hardship and related life, health, and safety risks to those members
of our workforce impacted by layoffs and substantially reduced work hours or who are otherwise
unable to pay rent as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;"
WHEREAS, Governor Inslee's Moratorium on Evictions prohibited "the following activities
related to residential evictions by all residential landlords operating residential rental property in
Washington State:
1. Residential landlords are prohibited from serving a notice of unlawful detainer for
default payment of rent related to such property under RCW 59.12.030(3).
2. Residential landlords are prohibited from issuing a 20-day notice for unlawful
detainer related to such property under RCW 59.12.030(2), unless the landlord attaches an
affidavit attesting that the action is believed necessary to ensure the health and safety of
the tenant or other individuals.
3. Residential landlords are prohibited from initiating judicial action seeking a writ of
restitution involving a dwelling unit if the alleged basis for the writ is the failure of the tenant
or tenants to timely pay rent. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, an action under
Chapters 59.12 or RCW 59.18 RCW.
4. Local law enforcement is prohibited from serving or otherwise acting on eviction
orders that are issued solely for default payment of rent related to such property. Nothing
in this Proclamation is intended to prohibit local law enforcement from acting on orders of
eviction issued for other reasons, including but not limited to waste, nuisance or commission
of a crime on the premises."
WHEREAS, Governor Inslee has extended Proclamation 20-19 several times with the most
recent extension being Proclamation 20-19.6, dated March 18, 2021, which extendsthe moratorium
on evictions until 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2021;
WHEREAS, among the pronouncements in Proclamation 20-19.6, the Governor specifically
proclaimed that "it is the intent of this order to prevent a potential new devastating impact of the
COVID-19 outbreak —that is, a wave of statewide homelessness that will impact every community
Page 19 of 21
ATTACHMENT E
in our state;" that the goal of Proclamation 20-19.6 "is to continue to provide a path for eligible
tenants to seek rental assistance, but to now also allow landlords, property owners, and property
managers to initiate an application for rental assistance;" and "to provide relief to those individuals
who have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis" with an expectation that landlords and tenants
"communicate in good faith with one another, and to work together, on the timing and terms of
payment and repayment solutions that all parties will need in order to overcome the severe
challenges that COVID-19 has imposed for landlords and tenants alike;"
WHEREAS, once the eviction moratorium expires, the Burien City Council is concerned that
many of the aforementioned renters may be evicted and added to the growing number of people
experiencing homelessness in Burien, King County, Washington, and the United States of America;
WHEREAS, the Burien City Council understands that not all landlords or property owners
have the same resources, financial reserves, or access to capital and so tenant protections must be
reasonable;
WHEREAS, Art. XI, Sec. 11 of the Washington State Constitution grants the City of Burien
broad police powers when it states that a municipality "may make and enforce within its limits
all such local police, sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws;"
WHEREAS, as an exercise of those broad police powers the Burien City Council intends to
increase the tenant protections as the pandemic continues or concludes, and to protect tenants
who need an opportunity to receive rental assistance or time to gather money to pay rent;
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2021, the Burien City Council adopted Ordinance 773 extending
Burien's Eviction Moratorium; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURIEN, WASHINGTON, DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
