Memorandum
South King Housing and Homelessness Partners
TO: SKHHP Executive Board
FROM: Claire V. Goodwin, SKHHP Executive Manager
DATE: November 18, 2025
RE: 2025 SKHHP Housing Capital Fund Recommendation
OVERVIEW
2025 represents the fourth annual funding round of the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund made possible by pooling
resources among SKHHP member jurisdictions. Ten member cities pooled funds for the Housing Capital Fund
this year and contributions totaled $3,926,340. Contributions sourced from SHB 1406 totaled $883,725 and
those sourced from HB 1590 totaled $3,042,615. With the remaining unused funds from the 2024 funding
round and the 2024 interest earnings from those cities pooling funds this year, SKHHP made $3,974,000
available in the 2025 funding round. With a previous SKHHP award to TWG being potentially reallocated, an
additional $1,940,000 in HB 1590 funds may be available by the end of the year. SKHHP received six
applications for funding representing over $11.4 million in requests to develop or preserve 262 units of
housing. The SKHHP Advisory Board recommends two funding scenarios: Scenario 1 recommends funding
three projects totaling $3,942,850 which excludes the TWG reallocated award (see Table 1); and Scenario 2
recommends funding four projects totaling $5,842,850 which includes the TWG reallocation (see Table 2).
Scenario 1 leaves a balance of $31,150 in HB 1590 funds in the Housing Capital Fund that will rollover into the
next funding round in 2026 and Scenario 2 leaves a balance of $71,150 in HB 1590 funds. A summary of the
recommended projects, funding rationale, and the conditions for funding are described in this memo. Included
as an attachment are the economic summaries of the recommended projects and standard conditions for
funding.

BACKGROUND
The SKHHP Advisory Board met on October 2, 2025 and November 6, 2025 to review each project application
and develop a funding recommendation for the SKHHP Executive Board’s consideration. The Advisory Board
began the evaluation of each project based on the established criteria and funding priorities adopted in the
2025 Housing Capital Fund Guidelines. In preparing the initial discussion of the Advisory Board’s
recommendation, two conflicts of interest were disclosed by the Advisory Board and two potential conflicts of
interest were disclosed. Two members are employed by organizations that submitted applications to this
year’s funding round; one member is employed by an organization that refers clients to one of the project
applicant’s organizations; and one member is employed by an organization that has worked with two
applicants. Of the disclosed potential conflicts of interest, the two members have no personal or financial
interest in any of the applications being considered.
On November 17, 2025, the City of Maple Valley voted to allocate $500,000 to the 2025 funding round of the
SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. That contribution was incorporated into the overall funding made available
under Scenario 1 and 2. This contribution was not reflected in the advertised funding available as it was not
known until recently. Member jurisdictions are always welcome to contribute additional funds to the Housing
Capital Fund at any point in the year.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The African Diaspora Cultural Anchor Village is a 129-unit new construction 4% Low-Income Housing Tax
Credit rental project with a mix of studios to four-bedrooms for households earning 30-60% AMI. 55
units will be set-aside for families with children and 13 units set-aside for households with a physical
disability. The project aims to respond to community members’ desire for a central anchor for South
King County’s African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community.
This project is a partnership between African Community Housing & Development (ACHD) and Mercy
Housing Northwest. Four parcels represent the project across 2.2 acres acquired by ACHD in 2023. The
parcels are located in SeaTac, 0.4 mile north of the Tukwila International Boulevard Link light rail station,
making this a prime transit-oriented development location. Existing structures include two houses and
commercial structures to be demolished.
The seven-story building will house residential units on levels three through seven while the first two
levels will include a community center event space, retail space, and office space for ACHD. Level two
will include a childcare center and classroom space for ACHD after-school programming. Additionally,
there will be outdoor gardening and recreation space. Level three will have a courtyard in addition to
the residential units. Below ground parking will be provided on part of Level one.

FUNDING RATIONALE
The Advisory Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons:
• The City of SeaTac is a central hub for the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community,
who are facing increasing displacement pressures, and the project responds directly to those
needs.
• ACHD is considered a “By and For Organization” by the Department of Commerce’s Housing
Division. Department of Commerce describes By and For Organizations as the following: “By-
Page 4 of 19
and-For Organizations are operated by and for the communities they serve. Their primary
mission and history is serving a specific community. They are culturally based, directed, and
substantially controlled by individuals from the population they serve. At the core of their
programs, these organizations embody the community’s central cultural values. In the
affordable housing context, these communities must have demonstrated disproportionate
representation in homelessness, housing instability, and housing affordability.”1
• A primary goal of the project is to support large and intergenerational families, including specific
gathering spaces requested by elders.
• The proposal was driven by extensive community engagement including a series of community
conversations and community cafes within the South King County African Diaspora immigrant
and refugee community.
• The project will include early learning classrooms, workforce training, outdoor gardening and
recreation space, retail space for community businesses, and community gathering space.
• The project includes a large portion of 2,3, and 4-bedroom units.
• The project is located near the Tukwila International Boulevard Link light rail station, providing
critical transit access.
• Outreach and marketing will be conducted in multiple languages.
• The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including
collaboration with local community-based organizations, connections and direct experience with
populations the project is proposing to serve, addressing the needs of populations most
disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing economic opportunity due to its
proximity to transit and other amenities, providing rental housing for households earning 0-30%
AMI, geographic distribution, leverage of private and public investment, and racial equity.
• The project is located in SeaTac which has not had a SKHHP funded project located in the city
yet.
• ACHD is a new developer but is partnering with the more experienced developer, Mercy
Housing Northwest, for this project.
• A partial award is recommended as another applicant’s project was a higher priority and ready
to move forward with construction.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Steele House is proposed as a demolition and new construction rental project of six three-bedroom
townhomes for families exiting homelessness or at risk of homelessness who earn up to 50% AMI. The
property was purchased in 2016 and includes a duplex built in 1943 operating as transitional housing.
The transitional housing program will end before the project begins so no relocation will be needed
before demolition of the duplex. Most case management and supportive services will take place on-site,
at the families’ housing unit.
St. Stephen Housing and Way Back Inn merged in December 2024 and have become a single non-profit
organization under the name St. Stephen Housing Association. The boards of both organizations have
combined and former Way Back Inn Board Members, who have assisted in the Steele House project’s
pre-development work, will remain involved to guide expansion plans.
The project is located across the street from the Bezos Academy – North Highlands location, Meadow
Crest Early Learning Center, and a playground. McKnight Middle School, Renton Highlands Park and
Ride, multiple restaurants and retail stores along Sunset Boulevard, and a Rite Aid Pharmacy are all
located within 0.5 mile radius. A grocery store is located within 0.6 mile radius.
This is the second time the project sponsor has applied to the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund for the
project and the City of Renton has committed $500,000 to the project since the previous application was
received.

FUNDING RATIONALE
The Advisory Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons:
• The project will serve families experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness.
• The City of Renton has committed $500,000 of HB 1590 funds directly to the project and has not
had a SKHHP funded project located in the city yet.
Page 7 of 19
• Pending successful awards from SKHHP and the Department of Commerce this funding round,
the project would be ready to begin construction in April 2026.
• The application was well-crafted and complete. Additionally, all underwriting benchmarks were
met in the SKHHP Addendum.
• The proposal has been discussed for the past eight years including at the sponsor’s annual
fundraisers.
• The project budgets $15,745 in operating expenses per unit per year which is a generous budget
($8,000 per unit per year is the minimum benchmark).
• St. Stephen Housing Association reports that the project will focus on Black, Indigenous, and
People of Color (BIPOC) families, who are disproportionately impacted by homelessness due to
systemic factors, and the goal will be to have four or five of the homes serving BIPOC
households.
• The Sponsor has a long-standing history of working with homeless families and is well-
established within the local crisis housing community. The project is built on strong
partnerships and deep community connections.
• Close access to schools, an early learning center, grocery stores, retail, and a pharmacy.
• Program design is informed by surveys and interviews with families.
• Utilizes monthly Conversation Cafés for continuous community input.
• The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including
connections and direct experience with populations the project is proposing to serve, addressing
the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing
economic opportunity due to its proximity to transit and other amenities, environmental benefit
due to its proximity to parks, providing rental housing for households earning 0-30% AMI,
geographic distribution, leverage of private and public investment, and racial equity.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Mental Health Housing Foundation’s (MHHF) Steel Lake Affordable Housing is a 20-unit rental project
for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness with incomes at 30% and 50% AMI. This is the
first phase of a two-phased new construction project. The second phase would add an additional ten
units for a total of 30 units. The first phase will construct four two-bedroom units and sixteen one-
bedroom units, including one manager unit.
The project will be owned, developed, and operated by MHHF. A live-in property manager will occupy
one of the one-bedroom units, and all maintenance needs will be addressed through a shared
superintendent and maintenance staff. Residents live independently, receiving services from
community behavioral health providers offsite. The majority of tenants in the portfolio have case
managers. When issues arise with tenants that may benefit from contact with the case manager, MHHF
makes contact.
The new building will be a two-story walk-up with ten apartments on each level. The site will include a
community gathering space, shared laundry facilities, management offices, outdoor seating areas, and
parking. Two large grocery stores, drugstore and other shops and amenities are located across the
street, as well as access to public transit. Laurelwood Park with open space is within 0.5 mile. MHHF
acquired the parcels in December 2024.
MHHF was organized and incorporated as a non-profit in 1990 to support those living with mental illness
in their efforts to live independently. The founders were concerned about the lack of affordable housing
for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness in King County. The organization has grown to
own seven housing projects, with a total of 90 housing units, that vary from single family shared homes
to small apartment buildings.

FUNDING RATIONALE
The Advisory Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons:
Page 10 of 19
• The project directly addresses a critical regional need for housing dedicated to individuals with
mental illness.
• The project will provide deep affordability for households earning up to 30% and 50% AMI.
• The project provides an opportunity to ensure SKHHP funds are distributed across all of South
King County as Federal Way has not had a SKHHP funded project located in the city, yet.
• The scale of the project is considered appropriate for the identified need.
• The construction timeline is further out, which justifies the recommendation for partial funding.
• The application was strong and all underwriting benchmarks were met in the SKHHP Addendum.
• MHHF has longstanding relationships with multiple behavioral health agencies in King County,
including Sound Behavioral Health, Navos, and Valley Cities, and will utilize those to seek
referrals for residents of Steel Lake.
• Sponsor secured a $31,000 pre-development grant from Enterprise Community Partners, a
commitment up to $60,000 in State funded technical assistance, an Impact Capital loan to
purchase the site, and $44,000 commitment from MHHF to support the project’s operating
reserves to be deposited once construction is complete.
• The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including
connections and direct experience with populations the project is proposing to serve, addressing
the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing
economic opportunity due to its proximity to transit and other amenities, environmental benefit
due to its proximity to a park, providing rental housing for households earning 0-30% AMI,
geographic distribution, and leverage of private and public investment.
PROPOSED CONDITIONS
Standard conditions apply to all projects and are included as Attachment 2 at the end of this memo.
1. SKHHP will provide project funds to the Contractor in the form of a deferred, contingent,
forgivable loan. Loan terms will account for various factors, including loan terms from other
fund sources and available cash flow. Final loan terms shall be determined prior to release of
funds and must be approved by SKHHP staff. The loan will be secured by a deed of trust
recorded against the development property to ensure that Contractor maintains the project’s
affordability and target population. Contractor shall not be required to repay the loan so long as
it maintains these project requirements.
2. Timeframe for funding commitment. The funding commitment continues for thirty-six (36)

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Multi-Service Center’s (MSC) Maple Lane Estates contains 16 two-bedroom, one-bathroom units
across four buildings serving households earning 30% and 50% AMI. The buildings were constructed in
1992 and MSC has owned the property since 1994. The renovations are proposed to include
replacement of siding, gutters, downspouts, railings, windows, sliding glass doors, front entry door
replacement, recoating tenant decks, painting, exterior HVAC alterations, re-grading areas adjacent to
siding and replacement of exterior entry doors.
MSC is a South King County based non-profit that owns and operates 1,168 units of affordable housing.
MSC provides multiple housing program services such as rental assistance, emergency housing,
transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing.
SKHHP has funded the rehabilitation of two MSC projects previously as the sole funder: Victorian Place II
in Des Moines and the White River Apartments in Auburn. SKHHP would be the sole funder on the
rehabilitation of Maple Lane Estates.

FUNDING RATIONALE
The Advisory Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons:
• The property is in need of rehabilitation to support the health and safety of the residents.
• The project is made up of 2-bedroom units to support larger household sizes.
• The project provides deep affordability for households earning up to 30% and 50% AMI.
• The project is smaller than other proposed rehabilitation projects and the Sponsor only applied
for SKHHP funds.
• The project is not leveraging other public funds and would benefit from SKHHP funding. As the
sole funder, it makes the contracting phase easier and quicker.
Page 13 of 19
• There are limited funding sources available for preservation and rehabilitation and the larger
sources have historically overlooked smaller rehabilitation projects, though that may be
changing.
• MSC has been the recipient of two previous SKHHP awards.
• The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including
connections and direct experience with populations the project is proposing to serve, addressing
the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, providing rental
housing for households earning 0-30% AMI, advancing economic opportunity due to its
proximity to transit, environmental benefit due to its proximity to open spaces, and
preservation.

ATTACHMENT 2: Standard Conditions for Funding
1. Contractor shall provide SKHHP with development and operating budgets based upon actual
funding commitments for approval by SKHHP staff. Contractor must notify SKHHP staff
immediately if it is unable to adhere to these budgets and must submit new budget(s) to SKHHP
staff for approval. SKHHP staff shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of these budget(s),
so long as they do not materially or adversely change the Project. This shall be a continuing
obligation of the Contractor, and shall survive the transfer or assignment of the Contract.
Contractor’s failure to adhere to budgets (either original or new/amended) may result in
SKHHP’s withdrawal of its funding commitment. Contractor must prepare and submit final
budgets to SKHHP at the time it starts project construction and at the project’s completion.
2. Contractor shall submit to SKHHP evidence of funding commitments from all proposed public
and private funding sources. If Contractor cannot secure an identified commitment within an
application’s time frame, Contractor shall immediately notify SKHHP staff and describe its
anticipated actions and time frame for securing alternative funding.
3. Contractor shall use SKHHP provided funds toward specific project costs as included in the
Contract and consistent with RCW 82.14.540 and/or 82.14.530, as applicable. Contractor may
not use SKHHP funds for any other purpose unless SKHHP staff authorizes such alternate use in
writing. If budget line items with unexpended balances exist after completion of the project,
SKHHP and other public funders shall approve adjustments to the project capital sources
(including potential reductions in public fund loan balances).
4. Contractor shall evaluate and consider maximizing sustainability features for the Project (such as
an efficient building envelope and heat pumps) and shall propose a plan to maximize the
Project’s sustainability.
5. Contractor shall use and document an open and competitive bidding process (consisting of at
least three bids) for construction and related consultant services associated with the project,
regardless of the source of funds used to pay their costs.
6. Contractor shall pay or cause to be paid RCW 39.12 prevailing wages in all projects funded by
SKHHP that include construction activities, unless federal funds awarded to the project mandate
use of federal prevailing wage rates.
7. If Contractor uses federal funds toward the Project, it must meet applicable federal guidelines,
including but not limited to: contractor solicitation; bidding and selection; wage rates; and
federal laws and regulations.
8. Contractor shall maintain documentation of any necessary land use approvals, permits, and
licenses required by the jurisdiction in which the project is located.
9. Contractor shall submit to SKHHP project monitoring reports quarterly through its completion of
the project, and annually thereafter. Contractor shall submit a final budget to SKHHP upon
Page 19 of 19
project completion. If applicable, Contractor shall submit initial tenant information as required
by SKHHP.
10. Contractor is required to provide SKHHP with quarterly status reports for projects funded
through SKHHP’s Housing Capital Fund during the project’s development stage (from the time
funds are awarded until the project’s completion and occupancy). These quarterly reports must
include at a minimum the status of funds expended and progress to date. SKHHP will rely on
these quarterly reports to determine whether Contractor is making satisfactory progress on the
project.
11. SKHHP may inspect the project site during the project’s construction.
12. After occupancy, the Contractor will submit annual reports 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 Contract. The Annual Report shall be submitted through the Washington State
Housing Finance Commission’s Web-Based Annual Reporting System (WBARS) unless otherwise
approved by SKHHP. The Annual Report shall include certifications to SKHHP that it is in
compliance with the Covenant, which shall include the most current occupancy information,
rent schedule (showing which Units are in each income class), a calculation justifying any
increases in rents from the previous rent schedule, consistent with the Covenant and the
Contract, and the actual rents being charged to each unit. SKHHP shall have the right to review
rents for compliance and approve or disapprove them every year. In the event the Contractor
submits annual certifications to satisfy the reporting requirements of multiple funders,
Contractor will designate and report all units at the income class required by the most restrictive
funder as well as the classification for purposes of the Covenant and this Contract. The
Contractor shall also include with such certification any changes in the management policies for
the Property and such other information covering the prior calendar year as SKHHP may request
by notice at least ninety (90) days in advance of the due date, and with such accompanying
documentation as SKHHP may request. The Annual Reports shall be submitted through WBARS
by June 30 of each year and will be required for the full duration of the Affordability Period.
SKHHP will also periodically evaluate all projects for long term sustainability.
13. For rental projects, Contractor shall maintain the project in good and habitable condition for the
duration of its affordability term.
14. SKHHP shall reimburse the Contractor for satisfactory completion of the requirements specified
in the Contract and upon Contractor’s submission to SKHHP of invoices and supporting
documentation of eligible expenses.
15. SKHHP shall retain 5% of the funding award (“retainage”) and shall release the retainage only
after construction is complete and all other obligations outlined in the contract have been
satisfied.
