Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year the City of Auburn executes specific actions to implement the goals and strategies of
the Consolidated Plan for Years 2020-2024. Actions that will be undertaken in 2024 are outlined
in this Annual Action Plan.
The City of Auburn anticipates the receipt of $600,000 in Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds in 2024. In addition to CDBG funds, the City is planned to allocate approximately
1% of the City's General Funds to Human Services. The City’s Human Services program, housed
in the Community Services Division, oversees and is responsible for providing and managing
financial resources to more than 30 non-profit agencies that serve the Auburn community. The
Community Services division is also responsible for administering the local housing repair
program and developing collaborations among community partners to strengthen the response
to residents in need.
The 2024 Action Plan proposes to allocate $90,000 of CDBG funds to public services. Consistent
with the goals established in the City’s Consolidated Plan, these funds will be used to support
Homelessness Prevention and Intervention.
Approximately $120,000 of the CDBG funds will be allocated to program administration, which
includes planning and administration of the CDBG program overall, citizen participation,
reporting, and administration of the City’s CDBG-funded Housing Repair Program. $115,000 of
the 2024 funding is designated to support sidewalk ADA imp rovements in low- to moderate-
income residential areas. The City will also be making $75,000 available through a competitive
RFP process for Microenterprise Assistance. The remaining $200,000 of 2024 funds will be
allocated to residential rehabilitation, providing free minor home repair services to low- and
very low-income Auburn residents.
The City of Auburn is committed to continuing to focus on achieving equitable outcomes for its
community members and achieving a greater collaboration among service providers. Overall
the implementation of the Consolidated Plan is progressing as planned and the primary
activities included are underway.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This Action Plan allocates a total of $600,000 dollars in anticipated 2024 Community
Development Block Grant funds, to support the Community Development Block Grant program.
With the overall goal of reducing the number of people living in poverty within the City of
Auburn, the following objectives and outcomes will be employed:
1. Affordable Housing: The City of Auburn will engage in housing activities, collaborations,
and partnerships to enhance opportunities for the creation and preservation of
affordable housing. The City will plan for and support fair housing strategies and
initiatives designed to affirmatively further fair housing choice, and to increase access to
housing and housing programs.
2. Ending Homelessness: The City of Auburn will support Public Service activities that work
toward the following outcomes: 1) reduce the number of households becoming
homeless; 2) reduce the length of time that households are homeless; 3) increase the
rate of exits to permanent housing; and 4) reduce the number of households that re-
enter the homeless system after exit to permanent housing.
3. Community and Economic Development: In an effort to meet the need of Auburn’s
economic and demographic growth the City intends to fund programs and activities that
will enhance the economy, accessibility, safety, and physical appearance
of neighborhoods. Activities that would be eligible for funding include fair housing
public services, public infrastructure and ADA improvements for public facilities,
microenterprise assistance, and economic development activities. These
investments help to ensure equitable opportunities for good health, happiness, safety,
self-reliance and connection to community.
4. Planning and Administration: Administer the Community Development Block Grant
program to meet the community needs and HUD requirements
To accomplish these outcomes and objectives, the City invests in programs that meet the
community basic needs, increase self-sufficiency, provide economic opportunity and develop a
safe community.
3. Evaluation of past performance
During the past year Auburn has accomplished significant achievement on its programs and
impacted the lives of thousands of residents. In 2023 alone, projects funded by the City

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
This section describes the community consultation process followed by the City of Auburn in
developing the 2024 Annual Action Plan and the coordination with other local governments,
the Continuum of Care, service agencies, and community stakeholders. The City of Auburn
consulted with multiple public and private agencies as well as community members during the
development of the Consolidated Plan.
In addition to conducting consultations during the development of the plan, the City of Auburn
collaborates and works closely with numerous coalitions, committees, and government entities
throughout the duration of the plan in efforts to enhance strategies and systems to meet
established goals and objectives of the plan.
Through the monthly SKC Forum on Homelessness meetings that the City of Auburn co -
facilitates, the City is able to consult with a number of service providers and entities operating
within South King County. This includes representatives from King County Library System,
whose work with digital access (especially within the mobile outreach program) helps to inform
our understanding of barriers to internet access within the community.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l)).
The City of Auburn works closely with partnering King County jurisdictions, public housing
authorities and health providers to develop systems in order to improve the quality of service
and access for low-income residents as well as the community as a whole within the city and
throughout the region.
The City of Auburn, in partnership with the Seattle -King County Coalition on Homelessness,
convenes a monthly group of service providers, faith communities, community advocates, and
others, to coordinate efforts on serving individuals experiencing homelessness in South King
County. The meeting provides a venue for resource sharing, collaboration, training, and best
practice implementation. City staff also participate in regional collaborative and decision
making bodies such as the King County Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC) and the South
King County Human Services Planners group. The city is a member of the King County Human
Services Funder Collaborative, which provides a more streamlined process for human service
agencies to access funding from multiple cities.

Additionally, the City participates in monthly Homelessness Action Committee meetings with
staff from King County Department of Community and Human Services, Public Health King
County, the Housing Development Consortium, Valley Cities, the Multi-Service Center, and the
King County Housing Authority to review program progress and delivery of homeless services
funded through regional efforts. In addition to these groups, the City’s regional collaboration
work on affordable housing is supported by the South King Housing and Homelessness
Partners, which Auburn and other South King County Cities contribute to in order to build
additional capacity to address issues related to housing and homelessness in the South King
County region.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessnes s.
In 2016, King County and All Home, our region’s Continuum of Care (CoC) lead agency at the
time, launched the Coordinated Entry for All (CEA) system for homeless populations and our
region has been refining the system since then. National research identifies coordinated entry
as a key component for an effective homeless system because it improves the quality of client
screening and assessment, matches clients to appropriately targeted services and resources,
and promotes a more efficient use of resources. CEA processes and prioritizes assistance based
on vulnerability and severity of service needs to ensure that people who need assistance the
most can receive it in a timely manner.
Chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied
youth, and young adults are a part of the coordinated system. In addition, CEA utilizes regional
access points which serve as the primary “front door” for the ho meless housing system.
In 2021, the newly-created King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) became our
CoC lead agency, and has worked to consolidate structures and contracts across King County
and Seattle to create greater efficiency and maximize impact.
In 2023, this work continued and Auburn remained a partner in the work of the KCRHA.
Auburn’s mayor currently sits on the Governance Board of the Regional Homelessness
Authority, and staff participate in bi-weekly meetings with KCRHA to collaborate and inform the
work they are overseeing, particularly in regards to subregional planning.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
Page 23 of 84
Annual Action Plan
2024

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The ESG program focuses on assisting people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing
after experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis. Auburn does not receive ESG funds
directly.
Coordinating with King County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) is critical to our region’s
implementation. The City will continue to look for deeper ways of participating in and
collaborating with the Regional Homelessness Authority and its Advisory Committee, which
serves as our Continuum of Care.
The City of Auburn supports the continuum of housing including prevention, emergency shelter,
and permanent housing. The City provides financial support for these efforts with City general
funds and also commits staff and leadership time to the ongoing development and
implementation of the system to address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness.
The City participates in and supports numerous coalitions and committees, such as the South
King County Forum on Homelessness and the Homelessness Action Committee, focusing on
developing resources in South King County. The City also participates in the annual Point in
Time Count, which provides invaluable data for planning. The Point In Time Count was
conducted utilizing a new methodology in 2022, which included over 500 in depth interviews
with individuals experiencing homelessness. KCRHA utilized geographic hubs to reach
individuals during this Count. One of the hub locations was located in Auburn. The City provides
both CDBG and local funds to agencies that serve chronically homeless individuals and families
with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth.

with King County in the development of the City’s and
the County’s Consolidated Plan. Because the two
entities have a cardinal role in each other’s program
delivery there is active participation from both parties
in the development of the plan. Staff from King
County and Auburn met regularly prior to and during
the development of the plan, and Auburn rotates as a

South King Housing and Homelessness Partners
(SKHHP) is a coalition formed by an interlocal
agreement between the jurisdictions of Auburn,
Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent,
Maple Valley, Normandy Park, Renton, Tukwila, and
King County. The agreement allows for South King
County jurisdictions to work together and share
resources in order to effectively address affordable
housing and homelessness. This collaborative model
is based on similar approaches used in Snohomish
County, East King County, and other areas of the
country. The purpose of the coalition is to increase
the available options for South King County residents
to access affordable housing and to preserve the
existing affordable housing stock.

A wide range of groups and organizations participated in the process including public funders from Washington State and King
County partner jurisdictions, public housing authorities, members from the Seattle-King County Housing Development Consortium,
stakeholders, housing providers for low-and-moderate income persons, agencies who serve persons who are homeless, and Seattle-
King County Public Health. In addition to the consultations referenced above, Auburn, King County and Consortium partner staf f
coordinate closely with each other and fan out to participate and attend a wide range of standing meetings with city planners,
housing and service providers.
The only types of organizations not consulted with were corrections facilities. The rationale for not consulting with these f acilities is
that the City does not host this type of organization.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
Public participation plays a crucial role in the success of the City's Annual Action Plan. The goals are to hear the commun ity's
feedback and recommendations on how CDBG funds should be invested and how services can coordinate to achieve the greatest
impact. In addition to the targeted outreach listed below, the City regularly engages service providers and stakeholders in
discussions regarding human services and local economic development needs. Organizations funded by the city are monitored
throughout the year and report quarterly on progress, trends, and challenges. City staff co-host a monthly meeting of service
providers working with individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the region to gather feedback and support increa sed
capacity building through broad collaboration of regional providers. In addition, City staff meet regularly with other cities in the area
and other funders to evaluate gaps in services and seek solutions to local and regional community development challenges.

matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Auburn relies on CDBG funds to support community and economic development projects and activities in efforts to
support low to moderate income populations to become self-sufficient and sustain affordable housing. However, CDBG funds are
not the only source of funds the City uses to support community projects and activities. The City's general funds are used to
support direct services benefitting Auburn's at risk populations in addition to CDBG funds.
CDBG funds do not require matching funds.

Introduction
Auburn's Annual Action Plan provides descriptions of proposals of how funds will be prioritized
to achieve goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. Projects funded by the City will address the
priority needs of providing assistance to prevent homelessness, ensure affordable housing and
a suitable living environment. Projects and programs are selected through a competitive
application process to ensure optimal quality services is provided to the community in use of
the funds.

Table 7 – Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The allocations proposed are based on the assessment of Auburn's needs, the resources
available in the region, the availability of other funds also focusing on needs, and the purpose
of Consolidated Plan funds. In addition to supporting Consolidated Plan goals, the inclusion of
microenterprise assistance is responsive to increased need for support post -pandemic that we
have seen in our small business community.
Should CDBG revenues exceed the proposed amount, the additional resources shall be
allocated in accordance to the following guidelines:
• Fill gaps in human services primarily healthcare, homeless prevention and intervention
and affordable housing accessibility.
• Increase funding for community development projects and activities including housing,
community facilities and economic development.
If increases are not significant enough to enhance projects or activities funds may be placed in
contingency for programming later in the year or the following program year.
Should CDBG revenues come in lower than anticipated; the City will continue with its planned
policy and to the extent allowed reduce funding allocations in homeowner rehabilitation
Page 38 of 84

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
projects, sidewalk projects, and administrative activities. The City’s 2023 allocation was lower
than anticipated in the original planning efforts. As laid out in our Annual Action Plan
contingencies, we reduced the amount of funding allocated to housing repair and
administrative activities. We did need to reduce the amount allocated to public services in
order to avoid exceeding the maximum allowable set aside for that purpose, but we retain the
same proportion of funding set aside for public services in this plan. Funding was also slightly
reduced in our sidewalk project, as it was determined that we will still have sufficient funding to
carry out a sidewalk improvement project at that funding level.
Should CDBG revenues come in less than originally proposed, the City will continue managing
the programs with decreased resources to the extent possible and reduce funding allocations
in administrative activities and not public services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City of Auburn will continue to work with service providers, the housing authority and residents in coordination to fully address
and develop systems and strategies to promote their efforts in providing sustainable, affordable housing.
Auburn's partnerships with organizations such as the King County Housing Authority , South King Housing and Homelessness
Partners, and the Housing Development Consortium of Seattle King County have allowed the City to explore new and innovative
strategies to continue to offer affordable housing to its current and prospective residents.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housi ng such
as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and
policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City of Auburn will continue to look at policies that remove barriers to affordable housing. The City of Auburn's Compreh ensive
Land Use Plan includes several policies and objectives that will guide the city toward achieving its affordable and fair hou sing goals.
These policies include maintaining flexibility in land use to achieve a balanced mix of affordable housing opportunities. The City will
continue to pursue mixed use developments that are consistent with the transportation oriented developments located in Auburn's
downtown. The City will look for opportunities with public and private agencies to implement policies and offer programs that help
alleviate physical and economic distress, conserve energy resources, improve the quality and quantity of community services, and
eliminate conditions that are detrimental to health, safety and public welfare.
In 2019, the Washington State Legislature adopted House Bill 1923, which awarded grants in the amount up to $100,000 to citie s for
the purpose of increasing residential capacity. The City of Auburn partnered with five other South King County jurisdictions to
establish a sub-regional framework of existing conditions. The results of that effort were used to inform and aid in the development
of Auburn’s own Housing Action Plan.
Page 45 of 84
Annual Action Plan
2024

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Auburn’s Housing Action Plan focuses on encouraging construction of additional affordable and market rate housing in a greater
variety of housing types and at prices that are accessible to a greater variety of incomes, including strategies aimed at the for-profit
single-family home market.
The Housing Action Plan aims to address the following four goals:
A) Encourage market rate development in Downtown Auburn: more development and denser development
B) Encourage the development of below-market workforce housing in Downtown Auburn
C) Encourage the development of middle housing types in R-5 and R-7 Zones in the Study Area
D) Prevent displacement and encourage the preservation of existing affordable housing
The final Housing Action Plan was adopted by Auburn City Council on July 6, 2021. The City will continue its work in implementing
strategies identified in the Housing Action Plan in 2023 and through the remainder of the Consolidated Plan period.
In 2020 the City of Auburn passed an ordinance adopting a new chapter of Rental Housing Code. Included in this ordinance were
multiple housing stability strategies, including increased notice of rental increases, a cap on late fees, and a Just Cause E viction
Ordinance that requires landlords to have good cause in order to evict or terminate tenancy of a renter. Just Cause protections are
especially helpful in addressing fair housing issues, and this adoption was consistent with the City’s efforts related to the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. This builds on previous protections passed by Auburn City Council, including Source of Income
Discrimination protections and enhanced rental inspections. Auburn staff have been involved in local and regional policy
conversations exploring opportunities to further support anti-displacement efforts and reduce barriers to affordable housing
development within our jurisdiction.
In 2022, the City of Auburn funded Fair Housing Public Services utilizing CDBG funds, consistent with the findings and goals of the
City’s adopted Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The City also continues to support proactive landlord and ten ant

Introduction
The City of Auburn will continue to work with service providers throughout the region in
coordination to develop systems and strategies to promote their efforts in providing optimal,
easily accessible services. The City will work to reduce the number of fa milies in poverty,
sustain relationships with employment training agencies, and work to preserve and increase the
affordable housing stock in our community.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
By establishing a strong foundation of networks between local service providers, stakeholders
and government agencies through committees and coalitions, the City will work in partnership
to address obstacles and ameliorate barriers to meeting underserved needs. The collaborated
organizations will develop detailed strategic plans that will delegate tasks, build systems and
ongoing assessment of service delivery.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to maintain the affordability of decent housing for low income Auburn
residents by allocating $200,000 of CDBG funds to the City's Housing Repair Program. The
program provides emergency repairs necessary to maintain safe housing for at least 65 Auburn
homeowners, many of whom are senior citizens and/or are experiencing barriers to safely
accessing their homes due to physical disabilities.
In addition to Auburn's Housing Repair program, the City will maintain affordable housing by
continuing to engage and partner with coalitions, committees and other government agencies
to integrate and enhance efforts on the issue.
The City has formally adopted a Housing Action Plan, as discussed in AP-75, that is helping to
guide current and future efforts in this area. That plan is available to the public on the City of
Auburn’s website.
Auburn has been participating in multiple robust regional efforts to coordinate affordable
housing activities in King County. One of these efforts, The South King Housing and
Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) is a coalition formed by an interlocal agreement be tween the
jurisdictions of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park,
Renton, Tukwila, and King County. The agreement allows for South King County jurisdictions to
work together and share resources in order to effectively address affordable housing and
homelessness. This collaborative model is based on similar approaches used in Snohomish
County, East King County, and other areas of the country. The purpose of the coalition is to
Page 48 of 84
Annual Action Plan
2024
33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
increase the available options for South King County residents to access affordable housing and
to preserve the existing affordable housing stock.
Additionally, the City of Auburn has been an active participant in the Affordable Housing
Committee of the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), with a City Councilmember
sitting on the Committee as an alternate member. The Affordable Housing Committee serves as
a regional advisory body to recommend action and assess progress toward implementing the
Regional Affordable Housing Task Force (RAHTF) Five Year Action Plan. The Committee
functions as a point in coordinating and owning accountability for affordable housing efforts
across King County.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of Auburn includes language in its CDBG contracts that require agencies to comply with
HUD Lead-Based Paint Regulations (24 CFR Part 35) issued pursuant to the Lead-Based Paint
Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 4831, et seq.) requiring prohibition of the use of
lead-based paint whenever CDBG funds are used. In addition, the City notifies residents of
potential lead-based paint hazards when it awards a Housing Repair grant. A copy of the
pamphlet – "Protect Your Family from Lead In Your Home" is provided each Housing Repair
client when the City conducts the initial inspection of their home.
The city takes additional measures when the age of the home indicates a possible presence of
lead-based paint. Before housing repair work commences, the city contracts with a certified
provider to undertake lead paint testing. When lead-based hazards are positively identified, the
city works with the housing repair client and contractors certified in RRP Lead Abatement to
implement the necessary mitigation and safety strategies.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City of Auburn's planned actions to reduce the number of poverty- level families within the
context of this Annual Action Plan include but are not limited to:
• Allocating $200,000 to the Housing Repair program, which serves low- and very low-
income residents and supports households to remain in safe and affordable housing.
• Allocating $90,000 to public service activities providing Homelessness Prevention and
Intervention services.
• Participate and partner with coalitions, committees and agencies that provide
antipoverty services to develop and enhance strategies and efforts to reduce poverty
level families.
• Supporting the development and sustainability of affordable multi-family housing in
Page 49 of 84
Annual Action Plan
2024

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Auburn.
In addition, the city will continue to support and fund programs serving families living in
poverty through a competitive human services funding process.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City's planned actions to address the gaps and weaknesses identified in the strategic plan
include:
• Maintaining partnerships with and participating in the South King County Housing and
Homelessness Partnership, the Regional Homelessness Authority of King County and
other regional human service providers, coalitions and committees who address
homeless issues. The City will also continue to work collaboratively with partnering
organizations and groups to integrate and enhance services to provide optimal services
to individuals and families currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness. In addition
the City plans to prioritize General Fund human services dollars for housing and
homelessness interventions, and allocate $240,000 to basic needs services such as food,
financial assistance, clothing and healthcare.
• Take a comprehensive approach to consolidated and comprehensive planning to include
all internal City departments, commissions, committees and task forces.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City of Auburn has heavily contributed and intends to continue cultivating relationships
between public and private housing and social service agencies. In addition the City will
continue to participate in collaborations with the South King County Forum on Homelessness,
the South King County Council of Human Services, Seattle-King County Housing Development
Consortium and the King County Joint Planners Meeting.
Discussion
The expressed goal of the City's Consolidated Plan is to reduce the number of people living in
poverty within Auburn. The City intends to give funding priority to programs that in addition to
complying with federal regulations and address a priority a outl ined in the Consolidated Plan
are consistent with all of the goals and objectives identified.
