a. SKHHP LEGISLATIVE FORUM
Claire Goodwin reviewed a draft outline and agenda for the SKHHP Legislative Forum,
scheduled for September 19, 2025, at 1:00 PM.
The Board discussed concerns about aligning messaging on affordable housing policies,
particularly regarding SKHHP’s current legislative priority of funding all types of affordable
housing. While interested in holding the forum, the Board lacked consensus on specific topics.
The Chair directed the Executive Manager to draft a new plan based on survey results from the
Board within the following week.

Claire Goodwin presented draft ideas for the 2026 Legislative Priorities.
The Board reviewed and discussed three options for consideration as the 2026 Legislative
Priority. The Board had consensus to use Option 3, “Increase Funding for Affordable Housing:
South King County is facing a growing affordable housing crisis. In order to address this crisis,
we need to fund aspects of affordable housing, that include:
• Homeownership for moderate income households and below
• Preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)
• Land acquisition to secure permanent affordability
• Permanent supportive housing (PSH)
• Infrastructure around affordable housing developments
• Workforce housing; especially smaller sized units below 60% AMI and family
sized units at all income levels “
VI. UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS

recommended a $10,000 grant from the King County Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services
Levy to SKHHP's operating budget in the King County Supplemental Budget. This
recommendation stemmed from a discussion between Councilmember Quinn and Mayor Eric
Zimmerman.
Claire Goodwin informed the Board that the SKHHP Program Coordinator is actively recruiting

Our Work
SKHHP member cities pool funds to support the production and preservation of affordable housing in
South King County through the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. Funding supports the needs of low-income
households up to 60% of area median income. Funding priorities include projects that advance racial
equity, geographic distribution, economic opportunity, and more. Since 2022, SKHHP has funded the
development or preservation of 584 units of affordable housing in South King County through pooling
over $14.5 million from 11 cities.

Suggested Talking Points – SKHHP Legislative Forum
About SKHHP:
• The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) is comprised of eleven South King
County cities and King County, formed in 2019 to address the subregion’s affordable housing
challenges together as a unified, collaborative coalition.
• SKHHP cities include Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley,
Normandy Park, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila.
• As a public funder for affordable housing, SKHHP pools revenue from the eleven cities authorized by
Substitute House Bill 1406 and House Bill 1590 to fund affordable housing production and
preservation in South King County.
• Since 2022, SKHHP has pooled over $14.5 million for affordable housing which will lead to the
construction or preservation of 584 homes.
• SKHHP members are actively working together and working hard to increase access to housing that
meets the needs of residents at all income levels and that reduces and prevents homelessness.
Housing Capital Fund:
• Since 2022, SKHHP has awarded seven projects throughout South King County over $11 million
through an annual funding round.
• SKHHP’s funding recommendations are developed by a community advisory board - recognizing that
affordable housing in the region should be shaped by the people and organizations most affected by
the current challenges.
• The revenue tools the Legislature provided cities and counties are critical to our ability to address
the affordable housing crisis. We are actively using those revenue tools. Thank you!
• SKHHP cities are collectively and collaboratively pooling these important resources to address the
housing needs in the subregion and advancing together rather than going it alone, or requiring that
only their individual resources be spent in their jurisdiction.
• We recognize that we are stronger together and will have a bigger impact when working together.
• SKHHP is making great progress, but it is not enough. We need more help. South King County cities
have fewer resources than other King County cities to address the growing affordable housing crisis.
Legislative Priority:
• This legislative session, SKHHP has one legislative priority: fund key aspects of affordable housing. As
a SKHHP member, we want to see additional funding made available to our cities, our nonprofit
housing providers, and affordable housing developers to support:
o Homeownership for moderate income households and below
o Preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)
o Land acquisition to secure permanent affordability
o Permanent supportive housing (PSH)
o Infrastructure around affordable housing developments
o Workforce housing; especially smaller sized units below 60% AMI and family sized units at all
income levels
August 13, 2025

Legislative Priority Background
• Higher housing cost burden: Across South King County (SKHHP cities), 36% of residents are housing
cost-burdened compared to the Eastside (ARCH cities) where 26% of residents are housing cost-
burdened.1
• Higher displacement risk: 8 SKHHP cities have large areas that are at higher displacement risk than
elsewhere regionally.2
• Loss of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH): Loss of NOAH in South King County is at-risk
of being redeveloped and replaced with higher priced units. Funding will be essential to preserve
and rehabilitate NOAH units in-line with city priorities and balancing for needed density near transit.
• Expiring rent-restricted units: Over the next six years (through 2031), the affordability terms on 1,162
income-restricted units are anticipated to expire across South King County.3
• Housing needs: To meet the projected housing need, SKHHP cities will need to add 80,343 housing
units by 2044, which includes 31,353 units (39%) for households earning up to 80% AMI.4
• Land acquisition: Without an increase in funding for land acquisition, affordable housing developers
will continue to compete against for-profit developers, limiting opportunities for permanent
affordability.
• Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): PSH is one of the most expensive forms of housing but is
necessary to support the health, safety, and well-being of those households transitioning out of
homelessness.
• Infrastructure around affordable housing: Infrastructure is costly and additional funding is needed to
support the expansion/development of infrastructure around affordable housing projects as these
can be cost-prohibitive.
• Workforce housing: Additional funding is needed to support workforce housing so that our teachers,
grocery store workers, health care workers, baristas, and childcare workers can live in the
communities they serve.
• Racial demographics: 55% of SKHHP city residents identify as persons of color.5
• Household income: SKHHP member cities’ average household income is 30% lower than King
County’s ($113,542 vs $161,206).6
