IV. OLD BUSINESS
a. 2024 DRAFT WORK PLAN & REVIEW
Claire Goodwin began by providing a brief overview of the development process for the
2024 Work Plan & Budget. SKHHP’s Interlocal Agreement states that on or before June
1st of each year a recommended work plan and budget will be prepared and reviewed by
the Executive Board, then passed to partner city councils for adoption.
The Executive and Advisory Board both completed surveys in February, which were used to
develop the materials for the March Executive Board Workshop. Feedback from the
workshop and the April Advisory Board meeting was incorporated into the draft being
presented today. Feedback from the meeting today would be captured and an updated draft
will be sent out by April 25th.
Each Executive Board member has been asked to present and work with their City
Council’s to capture any thoughts or feedback by May 9, 2023. SKHHP is on track to
present a final draft for adoption by the Executive Board at the May 2023 meeting. SKHHP
staff will work through the rest of May and June to present the work plan for adoption at
Page 5 of 8
each SKHHP partner jurisdiction. This is a slight change from last year’s process, and is
based on the King County Council’s schedule and requirements. The change will allow for
the County to present SKHHP and ARCH’s annual work plan and budget concurrently.
Most of the items in the draft are carried over from previous years. The current draft is an
effort to hone down and focus the work onto the elements that must be done to complete
SKHHP’s mission. This brought the work plan to four key goals which include actions and
indicators. The Work Plan was also reorganized to include priority level symbology and
order the goals by priority.
1. Fund the Expansion and Preservation of Affordable Housing
2. Develop Policies to Expand and Preserve Affordable Housing
3. Serve as Advocate for South King County
4. Manage Operations and Administration
Some of the new items included on the Work Plan include Action 12: Build relationships
with developers to learn from their perspective the ways to encourage housing
development, especially affordable housing. Also, Action 24: Advance work on the SKHHP
Foundation efforts to establish logistics, administration, and pursue federal nonprofit status.
The work plan also includes items which SKHHP previously worked on but had not
documented in the work plan. These include Action 2, 6, 16, 21, 22, and 23 as examples.
Items that were removed from the Work Plan were not as high a priority as other items
based on the Executive and Advisory Board surveys. This does not mean that the items
aren’t important to the SKHHP mission but given staff capacity and the current priorities of
the Boards, they did not rise to the level of remaining on the work plan. Examples of items
not carried over from previous work plans include the development of a plan to build the
capacity of SKHHP and providing annual updates to non-SKHHP South King County Cities
and relevant stakeholder groups.
Eric Zimmerman asked about the removal of building relationships with the state and
federal legislators through organizing work sessions and providing progress updates. Citing
concerns that the cities and state legislators aren’t as in sync as they could be and
wondering if there are ways for SKHHP and cities to better connect with state legislators.
The support of local delegations may be essential for SKHHP to be able to fulfill its mission.
Claire Goodwin responded that the challenge is that each SKHHP member jurisdiction is in
a different place and trying to find alignment was challenging. Removing it from the Work
Plan does not mean SKHHP staff would not coordinate with the state delegation. Claire
reminded the Executive Board of the conversation at the February Executive Board meeting
where the Board advised that SKHP staff should not advocate for specific bills since
alignment across jurisdictions may not be attainable.
The draft 2024 Work Plan was reviewed with the Executive Board. (Attachment B)
Page 6 of 8
Colleen Brandt-Schluter asked about not including the collection of the Housing Capital
Fund appropriations as an action item. Claire Goodwin said she would add it to the Work
Plan.
Traci Buxton stated that she loved the organization and the inclusion of indicators to track
outcomes at the end of the year. She asked how SKHHP staff felt about the work plan and if
the goals are achievable or if the Executive Board should reduce the action items. Claire
Goodwin responded that the current draft includes current staff capacity and had built-in
priorities to provide guidance.
Traci Buxton made the recommendation to match the SKHHP objectives and goals.
Currently, there are three objectives, and the goals seem to be an answer to the objectives.
A second recommendation was to add a new number one that spells out that SKHHP must
respond to the Interlocal Agreement and actions to keep the organization going. Then the
remaining goals better align with the three objectives. The goals and o bjectives could be
generated as a long list then each year some of the items would be added to the work plan
depending on which priorities the Board wanted to pursue that year.
Sunaree Marshall stated that the action items under Goal 1 seemed like a long list. It may
be possible to make some of those actions sub-bullets under “manage the existing housing
capital fund” and the other set is “grow or develop the housing capital fund”. It will be easier
for the reader to absorb by collecting the action list into categories.
Sunaree Marshall asked if any housing capital fund projects will be completed by the end of
2024. Colleen Brandt-Schluter and Dorsol Plants did not believe so. Sunaree continued that
while we can monitor projects during construction, the indicators are reflective of long-term
planning. We may not have a metric yet for units constructed. Claire Goodwin clarified her
intent was to track the number of units funded not necessarily upon completion. The term
“funded” may be better replaced by the word “build” to reflect that clarity.
Brian Davis complimented SKHHP Staff on the format and structure of the work plan, it was
easy to read with a lot of accountability built-in. Brian Davis asked about the input process
acknowledging he was unable to attend the in-person workshop. The survey felt restrictive
and did not allow new brain storming.
Brian Davis questioned homelessness being in the name of SKHHP, but the Work Plan
continues to be focused solely on the housing side of the homeless crisis. If SKHHP will
continue to point solely to housing, homelessness should be removed from the
organization’s title.
Brian Davis added that SKHHP should ensure that the indicators are elements that SKHHP
have control over and suggested removing the indicator about the number of preservation
policies advancing in member Councils.
Page 7 of 8
Claire Goodwin responded that the brain storming elements were included at the end of the
survey and those answers were reviewed at the workshop. Most of those items we re able to
be included in the work plan. Addressing homelessness was included on 3 survey results
and a lengthy conversation took place at the workshop. There is currently a regional
organization responsible for the non-housing work on homelessness, the King County
Regional Homeless Authority (KCRHA). Additionally, the Interlocal Agreement focuses
SKHHP’s work on the affordable housing solutions tied to solving the homelessness crisis.
Nancy Backus added as someone who serves in a role for SKHHP and KCRHA t hat there
may be a time in the future where the conversation is appropriate. KCRHA is seeking to
sign a subregional agreement with the South King County cities. When the time comes,
SKHHP could serve as the conduit for the connection with the South King County cities. By
focusing on the housing piece now, SKHHP will be better prepared to support homeless
work in the future.
Eric Zimmerman spoke in support of Brain Davis’ position and that at the local level there is
growing conversation about inefficiency of engaging solely at the municipal level. The
current conversation on homelessness feels limiting and there is a lack of ways to engage
in what Normandy Park considers a humanitarian crisis.
Nancy Backus responded that there are concerns, but some of thos e concerns are bigger
than what SKHHP could address. There is a need for multiple forums, but SKHHP may not
be the appropriate forum. There will be conversations moving forward about an appropriate
forum or place to hold those discussions. Nancy Backus offered to organize a separate
discussion on the topic outside of SKHHP. Several members stated they would like to be
part of the convening.
Claire Goodwin reviewed the proposed budget for 2024. While there are no new
expenditures proposed, there is a 5% increase in expenses impacted by inflation. Two new
expense categories were added for clarity, making “travel” a standalone category, and
renaming “misc.” to “Other professional services/Misc”. SKHHP member contributions are
determined by population tier and there is a 15% increase in member contributions each
year through 2026 as adopted by the Board in July of 2021. Additionally, SKHHP will
continue to spend down cost savings from the first two years to balance additional
contribution increases.
The draft 2024 Budget was reviewed with the Executive Board. (Attachment B)
Brian Davis commented that SKHHP was fortunate to have Auburn serve as the host,
donating office space and support for SKHHP staff.
b. 2023 STATE LEGISLATIVE REVIEW
Dorsol Plants provided a brief update on the closing week of the 2023 State Legislative
Session. The presentation format had been modified from previous presentations to divide
legislative bills into those that had passed and those with remaining activity. HB1337 was
Page 8 of 8
not a bill previously brought before the Executive Board, but it has passed along with
HB1110. Work is currently underway to understand the interaction between HB1337 and
HB1110. HB1695 was tied to the SKHHP legislative priorities and passed through the
legislature.
HB1052, HB1149, and SB5202 were legislative bills tied to SKHHP priorities which did not
pass this year. HB1628 which is tied to the SKHHP legislative priorities, had recent activity,
and has received a push to pass through the legislature this year. Nancy Backus updated
the group that she learned at an earlier meeting that HB1628 was not moving forward.
The current proposed budget from the House and the Senate seek to invest $400 Million
into the Housing Trust Fund. This session’s budget included a focus on creating and
supporting home ownership opportunities.
The final day of the legislative session is Monday, April 23, 2023.
V. UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Claire Goodwin informed the Executive Board that a survey would be going out seeking
information to plan for the upcoming hybrid/in-person Executive Board meetings.
Claire Goodwin acknowledged Joy Scott for her service and support to the SKHHP
Executive Board.
Claire Goodwin informed the Board that SKHHP would be convening a developer’s
roundtable at the next South King County Joint Planners and Developers meeting to better
understand barriers and ways to support development in our region on Wednesday April 26,
2023.

Establishment of Priority Review Program
Build off Established processes that have already proven to be successful
•Pre-Development Review Process
•Accela permitting software
•Assign dedicated Project Coordinator to each project within Priority Review Program
Establish clear thresholds for which projects can be deemed priority
•Ensure eligibility via completion of checklist (available online)
•Thresholds established via Director’s Rule, rather than code
Establish Level of Service Targets for Priority Review
•Target Review times for permitting reduced by 25% to 50% and target of 2 review cycles or less
Reduce missed communication between reviewers and applicant
•Post review comment review meetings
•Take pro-active approach to resolve minor review comments
66
How does this program solve the problem?
Lack of Affordable Housing is the primary problem. The
solution is to create more affordable housing units through a
variety of incentives and programs. Planning and
Development Services permitting related incentives include:
•Shortened review timelines
•More predictability for timing on projects
•Fee waiver for pre-application services
•Dedicated permit coordinator works as an advocate for the
project

Current Status
Number of Projects in Priority Review
•18 projects reviewed under Priority Review program from 2021
to present.
•55 projects entered into Pre-Application Review from 2021 to
present.
Number of Units Permitted or Currently in Review
•1,067 total units in review, permitted, or constructed
•828 of these units are provided at 80% AMI or less
Level of Service
•Site Development Permits
•8.6 weeks first review on average for priority reviews
•7.9 weeks first review on average for standard reviews
•Building Permits
•8.7 weeks first review on average for priority reviews
•10.1 weeks first review on average for standard reviews
7
8Areas of Success
Pre-Application Services
•Detailed comments and early access to staff reduces chances of a major issue impacting a project
•Pre-Development Fee Waiver for affordable housing developers, such as Habitat for Humanity or
Tacoma Housing Authority, gives these agencies ability to perform feasibility at lower costs
Assigned Project Coordinator
•Acts as an advocate for the project and takes ownership of it
•Consistent point of act for developers to assist with troubleshooting permitting issues
Time Savings
•While time savings are modest, priority reviews for large commercial building permits have a quicker
turnaround time than non-priority projects
9Areas for Improvement
Set Strict Level of Service Standards
•Priority may be helpful, but if City is behind on review times, still potential for lengthier
review
Dedicated Staff
•Typically, Tacoma receives around 9-11 of these types of projects per year
•Staff review teams should be consistent, in which each work group could have a
dedicated priority reviewer
Educating Organization & Resource Alignment
•Ensure staff are clear that streamlined permitting for affordable housing is derived from
the City’s Affordable Housing Action Strategy
•Ensure City resources are in alignment from every department

developed in collaboration with the Executive Board, Advisory Board, and staff work group.
The work plan is organized into four goals with corresponding objectives and action items. Each action
is identified by priority as follows:
• Higher – Identified as higher priority by Executive Board or is necessary to carry out the Interlocal
Agreements
• Medium – Identified as mid-level priority
• Lower – Identified as lower priority
Quarterly budget and progress reports on the status of the work plan elements will be submitted to the
SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each member jurisdiction as follows:
Quarter 1: May | Quarter 2: August | Quarter 3: November | Quarter 4: February
In accordance with the Interlocal Agreement, the 2024 SKHHP work plan and budget will be approved
by the SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each member jurisdiction.

SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 1 of 11
SOUTH KING HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS PARTNERS
Housing Capital Fund – 2023 Funding Guidelines
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Cities of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Normandy Park,
Renton, and Tukwila, and King County have entered into an interlocal agreement to cooperatively plan
for and provide affordable housing in South King County through an organization called the South King
Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP). To accomplish this, SKHHP member cities provide
funding to affordable housing projects through the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund.
SKHHP welcomes all groups or agencies considering preserving or adding to inventory of affordable
housing available to low-income households. We encourage interested parties to contact SKHHP as
early in the process as possible. SKHHP welcomes all inquiries, and our goal is to help project
proponents connect to partners and leverage funding to move forward in as coordinated an approach
as possible. The general purpose of the Housing Capital Fund is to create and preserve affordable
housing that meets the needs of low-income households earning up to 60% of area median income.
AVAILABLE FUNDING
Approximately $1.06 million in total funding is anticipated to be available for the 2023 application
round. This total is comprised of local funds from sales tax revenue authorized by Substitute House Bill
(SHB) 1406, RCW 82.14.540.
FUNDING PRIORITIES
SKHHP has established the following priorities for the Housing Capital Fund in 2023:
Collaboration. Project sponsors working in collaboration/partnership with local community-based
organizations are a high priority.
Community Connections and Engagement. Project sponsors that demonstrate connections and direct
experience with populations they are proposing to serve, and proven success in community
engagement and involvement in decision-making are a high priority.
Disproportionate Impact. Projects that ensure housing proactively meets the needs of and is available
to populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs while complying with relevant
federal, state, and local fair housing laws.
Extremely Low Income and Supportive Housing. Proposals that provide rental housing for individuals
and families earning 0-30% AMI and proposals that incorporate supportive services are a high priority.
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 2 of 11
Geographic Equity. The SKHHP Housing Capital Fund has a long term objective to produce housing
across SKHHP member jurisdictions through the creation of a broad distribution in the location of all
types of affordable housing over time to maximize choice for individuals and families seeking
affordable homes within SKHHP’s geographic purview.
Homeownership. Projects that are able to provide homeownership opportunities for individuals and
families earning up to 60% AMI.
Leverage of Private and Public Investment. SKHHP encourages project sponsors to pursue private and
public investment that provides maximum leverage of local resources. Projects that already have
funding secured and/or leverage private and public investment are a high priority.
Preservation. Projects that preserve housing at risk of conversion to market-rate housing are a high
priority. This includes housing units with expiring affordability requirements or preservation of
residential rental properties that are affordable to households earning 60% AMI, but do not have
affordability requirements.
Racial Equity. SKHHP encourages proposals that advance racial equity through strategies that
intentionally dismantle the racially disparate impacts of our current housing system. Strategies may
include, but are not limited to: preserving communities at risk of displacement; creating project
partnerships that give voice and ownership to communities of color; affirmatively marketing new
housing opportunities to populations disproportionately experiencing cost burden and housing
insecurity; and addressing historic inequities in access to homeownership.
Transit-Oriented Development. Projects located within ½ mile of an existing or planned high capacity
transit station, defined as fixed rail (light rail or Sounder train), bus rapid transit, or other high
frequency bus stop are a high priority. Transit-oriented development is designed to support dense,
walkable communities that increase access to employment, services, and other opportunities.

The following schedule is anticipated for the 2023 Housing Capital Fund application round:
July 2023 Application package available
By August 7, 2023 Provide intent to apply statement (optional)
Prior to application submittal Pre-funding application meeting (mandatory)
September 15, 2023 Applications due
November 2023 SKHHP makes funding recommendations
NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPLY
Proponents of affordable housing projects within South King County who are planning a development
and are interested in benefitting from coordinated funding are asked to submit a notice of intent to
apply. Notice of intent forms are optional, but strongly encouraged and are due by Monday, August

in order to be eligible to apply to the funding round.
PRE-APPLICATION MEETING
Applicants are required to schedule a Pre-Funding Application Meeting to identify and discuss
potential issues prior to submitting an application for funding. Pre-Funding Application Meetings will
include SKHHP staff as well as staff from the jurisdiction where the project is proposed to be located.
First-time applicants will benefit from meeting early and often with SKHHP. Applicants should be
prepared to provide a project description identifying the population to be served, approximate number
of units, income and affordability, type of construction (rehabilitation or new), neighborhood issues,
whether relocation or displacement will be required, team members (developer, architect, property
manager), likely funding sources, and demonstration of how the proposed project meets SKHHP’s goals
and priorities.
Pre-Funding Application Meetings will likely be held between July 31 and September 8, 2023. To set
up a pre-funding application meeting, email Dorsol Plants at dplants@skhhp.org.
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
Housing Capital Funds may be applied for by applicants or a group of applicants that are:
• Non-profit organizations
• Private for-profit organizations
• Public housing authorities
• Public development authorities
• Units of local government
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 4 of 11
Partnerships involving combinations of the above groups are encouraged, especially in the case where
a private for-profit organization and/or applicants with less experience looking to build affordable
housing development skills and abilities applies for funding. Partnerships are seen as opportunities to
build organizational capacity, achieve community outcomes, and reduce investment risk for Housing
Capital Funds.
ELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIES
The general purpose of the Housing Capital Fund is to create and preserve affordable housing that
meets the needs of low-income households earning up to 60% of area median income. SKHHP uses the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development income limits and rent limits developed
for the Seattle-Bellevue Metro Area.

*Includes the cost of basic utilities paid by resident. Unless the property pays ALL utilities, property must allow
for the estimated amount the resident pays for utilities when calculating rent charges, so that both together do
not exceed the rent limits. Most properties use public housing authority utility allowances. King County Housing
Authority energy assistance supplements (formerly called utility allowances).
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 5 of 11
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
SKHHP funds may be used for the following activities:
• Acquisition, and related costs such as appraisals, financing costs, and transaction costs
• Rehabilitation and new construction costs
• Site development
• Off-site development only when necessary to assure utility service to the project site
• Mixed-income projects so long as Housing Capital Fund dollars assist units affordable at or
below 60% of area median income
At this time, SKHHP does not have funds to support early technical assistance or predevelopment
costs. Applicants in very preliminary stages are encouraged to apply to Impact Capital for
predevelopment funding.
SKHHP member cities understand that certain County, State, and Federal housing programs require
some level of matching by local resources. The SKHHP Housing Capital Fund is encouraged to be used
as a local match for these programs.
INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Housing Capital Funds may NOT be used for:
The development of any non-residential use. Housing capital funds may be used in a mixed use
development only for that portion of the development that is specific to the residential use. This
restriction also applies to site development and off-site development costs for non-residential uses.
• The cost of any program operating expenses
• The cost of any political or lobbying activities or materials
• Rehabilitation of single-family housing units in a manner that would duplicate participating
jurisdictions’ housing repair assistance programs
• Uses that are public capital facilities such as correctional facilities or impatient treatment
facilities
PROJECT LOCATION
All projects funded under this program must be located within the SKHHP sphere of influence (see
ATTACHMENT A).
LOAN AND REGULATORY TERMS
Housing Capital Fund dollars will be made available as either secured grants or loans. SKHHP has
flexible terms designed to accommodate a range of projects and loan terms will vary based on the
financial needs of the project. Applicants should indicate in the application whether they are applying
for a grant or loan, and what loan terms are proposed for the project. Loan applicants will not receive
priority over grant applicants.
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 6 of 11
PERIOD OF AFFORDABILITY
SKHHP expects that projects will commit to providing long-term affordability in the form of a 50-year
regulatory agreement. A covenant will be recorded against the property that requires continued use of
the property for low-income housing for the period of affordability. During this period the owner or
property manager will be required to do annual reporting of tenant incomes and rents to ensure that
affordability requirements are met, and SKHHP will monitor those reports to ensure compliance. If the
project is converted to an alternative use or is otherwise not meeting the agreed upon terms in the
regulatory agreement any time during the project’s agreed-to term of affordability, the SKHHP Housing
Capital Fund contribution to the project will be subject to immediate repayment, and potentially a
proportionate share of appreciation.
OTHER AWARD TERMS/REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Additional funding conditions will be spelled out in an award letter to successful applicants. At a
minimum, the following reporting requirements shall apply during development and occupancy:
Quarterly Status Reports
Quarterly status reports are required from all Housing Capital Fund funded projects during the
development stage (from the time funds are awarded until completion and occupancy of the project).
The quarterly reports will minimally include the status of funds expended and progress to date. A final
budget must be prepared and submitted at the time of construction start and project completion.
SKHHP will rely on the quarterly reports to determine if satisfactory progress is being made on the
project. Additionally, SKHHP staff will inspect the project site at least once during the
development/construction stage.
Ongoing Monitoring
After occupancy, the project sponsor or manager will submit an annual report to SKHHP summarizing
the number of project beneficiaries, housing expenses for the target population, and the proportion of
those beneficiaries that are low- and/or moderate-income, and that meet other eligibility criteria
established in the SKHHP regulatory agreement. In addition, for projects with loan payments, financial
information must be reported annually which will be used for assessing contingent loan payments and
project health. All projects will also be evaluated periodically for long term sustainability. The annual
reports will be required for the full duration of affordability.
APPLICATION CONTENTS
SKHHP uses the Combined Funders Application forms, developed jointly with other public funders
including the State of Washington Department of Commerce and King County. The Combined Funders
Application forms, SKHHP application addendum, and SKHHP notice of intent to apply are available on
SKHHP’s website at: http://skhhp.org/home/housing-capital-fund/
Letter of consistency
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 7 of 11
Projects that are selected for funding have to demonstrate consistency with community priorities and
plans. Applicants must include a letter of consistency from the jurisdiction where the project is located
affirming the project is consistent with the Consolidated Plan, local comprehensive plan, and its
housing element, and any local housing action plans.
Letter of community support
Projects that are selected for funding must demonstrate community support. Applicants must include
at least one letter of support from a community organization, faith-based institution, community
center, or school that serves the community where the project is proposed to be located.

REVIEW PROCESS
Proposals will be reviewed using the following process:
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 8 of 11
Step 1. An initial screening will be conducted by SKHHP staff and staff of the jurisdiction where the
project is proposed to be located to determine the completeness of each application. Staff reserves the
right to deny applications that are incomplete.
Step 2. SKHHP will evaluate the applications and develop a recommendation to the respective City
Councils. SKHHP’s recommendation will be made by its Advisory Board and approved by its Executive
Board.
Step 3. SKHHP member City Councils that have contributed funding will review, approve, and provide a
statement of support for the funding recommendation submitted by SKHHP, or will return the
recommendation, with comments, for further investigation before a final decision is made. SKHHP
member jurisdictions where the project is proposed to be located that have NOT contributed funding
to the project via the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund will be asked for a letter of support prior to a final
funding decision being made.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
General
Evaluation of applications will focus on an overall evaluation of all of the following key areas:
• 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.
• Feasibility, timeliness, and cost effectiveness (i.e., SKHHP Housing Capital Fund award per
unit/square feet, total development cost per unit/square feet, reasonableness of schedule,
budgets, and proforma, adequacy of resources and ongoing sustainability, and site control
to ensure timely completion).
• Relevance of the project to local housing needs and funding priorities, 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.
• Suitability of the project sponsor and development team, including any track record
and/or housing development 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.
Specific
The following specific information areas will be evaluated for data to support the key focus areas
described above.
A. Development and Operating Budgets
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 9 of 11
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. Higher land costs may be justified to account for strategic location such as proximity to
transit or other local amenities. 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. 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, including a plan and
timeline for the proposed capital fundraising and, preferably, a track record of past or current capital
fundraising ability. 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
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:
SKHHP 2023 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines Page 10 of 11
• 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.
• Facility: The facility management plan should include provisions for both routine and long-
term building maintenance.
• 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 to discuss what relocation assistance may be
available. 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 SKHHP’s goals
of equity, including preserving existing communities at risk of displacement (which includes
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.
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.
• Investing public dollars in areas traditionally/historically underserved or as a catalyst for further
investments and development.
