Background for Motion: Background Summary: SKHHP was established in 2019 through an interlocal agreement (Establishing ILA) to address the affordable housing challenges facing the subregion as a coordinated, unified, and collaborative coalition. SKHHP currently has 11 member jurisdictions including the cities of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Normandy Park, Renton, and Tukwila, plus King County. In 2019, RCW 82.14.540 (SHB 1406) became law allowing jurisdictions to enact a local sales and use tax for the purpose of supporting affordable housing. In 2021, eight of the nine SKHHP member cities entered into a second interlocal agreement for purposes of pooling sales tax receipts authorized by RCW 82.14.540 with SKHHP to create the Housing Capital Fund (Pooling ILA – SHB 1406). In 2022, SKHHP awarded two projects in South King County almost $1.4 million during the first annual funding round. In 2023, two of the four SKHHP member cities who are able to collect RCW 82.14.530 (HB 1590) revenues desired to pool a portion of those funds with SKHHP for the 2023 funding round of the Housing Capital Fund to add to existing SHB 1406 pooled revenue and entered into an additional interlocal agreement (Pooling ILA – HB 1590). The Establishing ILA and Pooling ILAs established the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund, set parameters for the process for the selection of awards involving pooled funds, and determined the approval process. Pursuant to the ILAs, the SKHHP Executive Board recommends allocations for funding affordable housing projects to the participating City Councils. Even though the Council has already contributed funds to the 2023 Housing Capital Fund funding round, Council approval is needed to authorize the allocation of funds to specific projects. The SKHHP Executive Board adopts annual funding guidelines and priorities for each funding round. The SKHHP Advisory Board subsequently reviewed applications and provided a funding recommendation based on adopted priorities to the SKHHP Executive Board. The SKHHP Page 26 of 79 Executive Board concurred with the majority of the SKHHP Advisory Board’s recommendation and recommends funding four projects totaling $5,747,306 as described in the 2023 SKHHP Housing Capital Fund Recommendation memo dated January 17, 2024 (attached). The SKHHP Executive Board requests approval to use $137,595 of the total $152,865 contributed funds from 2023 from the City of Auburn for the following recommended projects: Project Sponsor and Project Name Location # of Units T otal Development Cost T otal SKHHP Contribution T otal City Contribution Mercy Housing NW – Kent Multicultural Village Kent 199 $134,323,456 $1,000,000 $0 LIHI – Skway Affordable Housing and Early Learning Center Skyway 55 $36,295,892 $2,800,000 $0 TWG – Pandion at Star Lake Kent 168 $87,149,708 $1,170,000 $0 Multi-Service Center – Victorian Place II Des Moines 20 $785,125 $777,306 $137,595 As outlined in the attached memo, sales and use tax receipts from your jurisdiction have already been contributed to SKHHP’s 2023 Housing Capital Fund, and with this Council approval of $137,595 those funds may be allocated to the projects recommended by the SKHHP Executive Board. Detailed descriptions of the projects, funding requests, rationale, and recommended conditions of funding for projects by the SKHHP Executive Board are included in the attached memo. If not approved, SKHHP will not have Auburn’s funds to contribute to the regional efforts to advance affordable housing projects that meet urgent local needs and priorities. Staff recommends that City Council schedule Resolution 5753 for action during the March 4, 2024 City Council meeting.

SKHHP received six applications for funding representing over $8.6 million in requests to develop or preserve 493 units of housing. The SKHHP Executive Board concurred with the majority of the SKHHP Advisory Board’s recommendation and recommends funding four projects totaling $5,747,306 (see Table 1). Of this total, the Executive Board recommends using $777,306 of the total $928,812 sourced from SHB 1406 revenue contributions for one preservation project; and $4,970,000 sourced from HB 1590 revenue contributions for three new construction projects. This recommendation leaves a balance of $151,506 in SHB 1406 funds and $485 in HB 1590 funds in the Housing Capital Fund that will rollover into the next funding round in 2024 (see Tables 2 and 3). 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.

Mercy Housing NW - Kent Multicultural Village Funding request: $1,000,000 Executive Board recommendation: $1,000,000 (forgivable loan) Address: 23446 Pacific Highway South, Kent, WA 98032 PROJECT SUMMARY Kent Multicultural Village is a 199-unit multifamily rental project in Kent adjacent to the future Kent Des Moines Link light rail station. The light rail station is scheduled to open in 2026. The project will support households earning 30% area median income (AMI) to 80% AMI with a 20% set-aside (39 units) for households with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (I/DD). The I/DD units will benefit from on-site supportive services. A 30% set-aside (61 units) will be for families with children. The project includes studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, and three-bedroom units. The site is comprised of eight stories and will include a community center, a family resource center, and a licensed early learning facility with six classrooms to accommodate 96 infants and children with a focus on serving children with I/DD. The project was awarded the RFP by Sound Transit to be located on surplus land, but the terms of development are forthcoming, and the final project may be slightly different than described. 39 units are eligible for SKHHP funds sourced from HB 1590 revenue. The project is a partnership between Mercy Housing NW and Open Doors for Multicultural Families, who will provide support to the I/DD households and will relocate their headquarters to the property. Open Doors for Multicultural Families will also operate the Community Center which will include space for recreational activities and community-focused programming. Open Doors for Multicultural Families is a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the needs of persons of color living with I/DD, especially immigrants and refugees. PROJECT SCHEDULE Activity Date Site Control 2024 – to be coordinated in Sound Transit negotiations Building Permits Issued 4/2025 Begin Construction 6/2025 Begin Lease Up 2/2027 Certificate of Occupancy Issued 6/2027 First LIHTC Year Start 6/2027 100% Lease Up 2/2028 FUNDING RATIONALE The Executive Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons: • The project has a 20% set-aside for households with an I/DD. • The project serves a diverse range of incomes from 30% AMI to 80% AMI. • The project proposal is thorough, well planned, and has funding commitments already established. Page 34 of 79 Page 4 of 22 • The project is located adjacent to the future Kent Des Moines Link light rail station and has convenient access to transit, schools, medical clinics, grocery stores, and services. • The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including: being a transit-oriented development (TOD) project, collaboration with local community-based organizations, addressing the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing economic opportunity due to its proximity to the future Link light rail station and other amenities, advancing geographic equity of the Housing Capital Fund, and the leverage of private and public investment. • Mercy Housing NW is a well-established nonprofit developer in the region. • A third-party construction report found the proposed budget to be appropriate. PROPOSED CONDITIONS Standard Conditions 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. 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 funding agreement and consistent with RCW 82.14.530. 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. 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. Page 35 of 79 Page 5 of 22 6. Contractor shall maintain documentation of any necessary land use approvals, permits, and licenses required by the jurisdiction in which the project is located. 7. Quarterly Status Reports. 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. Contractor shall submit a final budget to SKHHP upon project completion. If applicable, Contractor shall submit initial tenant information as required by SKHHP. 8. SKHHP will inspect the project site at least once during the project’s construction. 9. Ongoing Monitoring. After occupancy, 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. In addition, for projects with loan payments, Contractor must annually report financial information to SKHHP that it will use to assess contingent loan payments and project health. These annual reports will be required for the full duration of affordability. SKHHP will also periodically evaluate all projects for long term sustainability. 10. For rental projects, Contractor shall maintain the project in good and habitable condition for the duration of its affordability term. 11. 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. 12. A covenant is recorded ensuring affordability for at least 50 years, with unit size, number of units, and affordability distribution established prior to executing Contract. Special Conditions 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) months from the date of Council approval and shall expire thereafter if all conditions are not satisfied. An extension may be requested to SKHHP staff no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. At that time, the Agency will provide a Page 36 of 79 Page 6 of 22 status report on progress to date and expected schedule for start of construction and project completion. The SKHHP Executive Board will consider a twelve-month extension only on the basis of documented, meaningful progress in bringing the project to readiness or completion. At a minimum, the Contractor will demonstrate that all capital funding has been secured or is likely to be secured within a reasonable period of time. 3. At least 39 of the housing units shall be set-aside for households with an I/DD who earn no more than 60% AMI. Use of funds and population eligibility must be in-alignment with RCW 82.14.530. 4. SKHHP funds shall be used solely for new construction, unless otherwise approved by SKHHP staff. 5.

Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) - Skyway Affordable Housing and Early Learning Center Funding request: $2,800,000 Executive Board recommendation: $2,800,000 (forgivable loan) Address: 12712-12724 & 12742 Renton Ave. South, Seattle, WA 98178 PROJECT SUMMARY Skyway Affordable Housing and Early Learning Center is a multifamily rental project in Unincorporated King County. The project will provide 55 housing units for individuals and families, including 12 studios, 19 one-bedroom, 13 two-bedroom, and 11 three-bedroom units for households earning between 30% and 50% AMI with a 75% set-aside (42 units) for households transitioning out of homelessness. An early learning center will be located on the ground floor of the building, featuring four classrooms to accommodate up to 80 children, a parent resource room, and offices. The surrounding community will be prioritized in the early learning center activities. Additional amenities include a community room, case manager offices, and a roof deck for resident use. LIHI will provide on-site case management. This project has been previously awarded predevelopment and acquisition funds from King County. The project will serve individuals (25 units) and families (17 units) exiting homelessness earning 30% AMI (42 total units) and will support general population households earning up to 50% AMI (12 units). A common room will support all residents (1 unit). 42 units are eligible for SKHHP funds sourced from HB 1590 revenue. Childhaven, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families and preventing childhood trauma, plans to lease the early learning center and relocate their program to the site and will assist in applying for local funding for this portion of the project. The early learning center will be financed separately from the residential space, without using tax credits on the commercial space.

TWG – Pandion at Star Lake Funding request: $2,856,000 Executive Board recommendation: $1,170,000 (loan) Address: 2526 S 272nd Street, Kent, WA 98059 PROJECT SUMMARY The South Building (building one of two) of Pandion at Star Lake is a multifamily rental, mixed use project consisting of 168 affordable housing units for households earning between 30% and 60% AMI in Kent. The project is located adjacent to the Kent/Star Lake Link light rail station. This transit-oriented development (TOD) project will provide a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom units. The project will include ground floor commercial space consisting of an early learning center for low-income children and other non-profit tenants. The property was purchased by the developer in December 2022. The project is a seven-story building with six stories of affordable housing over one story of commercial space, plus basement level parking. The 168 units includes 109 units for the general population, 30 units for families with children, 25 units for families with children that require permanent supportive services and who are transitioning out of homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness, and 4 units supporting households with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (I/DD) requiring supportive services. Pandion at Star Lake is a partnership between TWG Development and Vision House, with Vision House providing on-site supportive serves for 140 units or those receiving 4% LIHTC support. In collaboration with the City of Kent, an additional service provider will be selected to serve residents of the remaining 28 units or those receiving 9% LIHTC support. 29 units of the project are eligible for HB 1590 funds which includes 25 units for families with children transitioning out of homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness and require permanent supportive services and the four units set-aside for I/DD households. PROJECT SCHEDULE Activity Date Site Control 12/6/2022 Building Permits Issued 10/1/2025 Begin Construction 12/31/2025 Certificate of Occupancy Issued 12/31/2027 Placed in service 1/1/2028 First LIHTC Year 2028 FUNDING RATIONALE The Executive Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons: • The project is located adjacent to the future Kent/Star Lake Link light rail station and has convenient access to transit, schools, grocery stores, and services. Page 42 of 79 Page 12 of 22 • The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including: being a transit-oriented development (TOD) project, collaboration with local community-based organizations, addressing the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing economic opportunity due to its proximity to the future Link light rail station and other amenities, advancing geographic equity of the Housing Capital Fund, and the leverage of private and public investment. • The project construction start date is anticipated by early 2026, six months later than other recommended projects. The sponsor may have more time to secure the additional funds than other projects prior to beginning construction. • The project has a strong partnership with Vision House who will provide on-site supportive services for 140 households. • A second building supporting 173 units for seniors earning 80% to 100% AMI is part of the overall project, but is not part of the application to public funders. The overall project supports mixed-income housing from 30% AMI-100% AMI. • The project sponsor has been in close communication with the City of Kent on project feasibility and zoning requirements since the property was purchased in December 2022. • The project sponsor has agreed to voluntarily meet the design standards for properties zoned as ‘Midway Transit Community,’ which is a higher degree of development than what is required under general mixed-use commercial standards for the City of Kent. • A third-party construction report found the proposed budget to be appropriate. PROPOSED CONDITIONS Standard Conditions 1. Contractor shall provide SKHHP with development and operating budgets based upon actual funding commitments for approval by SKHHP staff.

Multi-Service Center - Victorian Place II Funding request: $500,000 Executive Board recommendation: $777,306 (grant) Address: 24517 26th Place South, Des Moines, WA 98198 PROJECT SUMMARY Victorian Place II is a multifamily, preservation 20-unit rental project in Des Moines. Since 1996, the nonprofit Multi-Service Center has owned the two adjacent buildings that comprise the project which includes five units for households earning up to 35% AMI, ten units for households up to 40% AMI, and five units for households up to 50% AMI. The 20 three bedroom/two bath affordable rental units are in active use and the target population is families with children. The original request was for $500,000 in the form of a grant. Initial estimates were based on a 2018 construction estimate. An updated cost estimate of the project received on October 25, 2023 totaled $675,918. The Advisory Board recommended fully funding the project at the revised amount, however, after the recommendation was made, it was discovered that the revised estimate did not include contingency funding. The Executive Board recommend funding the project with a 15% contingency which totals $777,306. SKHHP funds are requested to support the rehabilitation of the two buildings including: landscape improvements, staircase repairs, installation of new railings, seal coating the parking lot, upgrading external lighting, recoating tenant decks, installation of new siding, replacing gutters and downspouts, replacing windows, replacing sliding glass doors, replacing unit entry doors, and replacing baseboard heating with energy-efficient heating systems. PROJECT SCHEDULE Activity Date Site Control 1/1/2000 Building Permit Issued Mid-2024 Begin Rehabilitation and Renovation Mid-late 2024 End Rehabilitation and Renovation Mid-late 2025 FUNDING RATIONALE The Advisory Board supports the intent of this application for the following reasons: • There are limited funding sources available for preservation and rehabilitation. The focus for larger public funders has historically been on creating new units of affordable housing. Smaller preservation projects like this one are not as competitive against larger preservation projects competing for the same funds. • The property is in need of rehabilitation to support the health and safety of residents which are families with children. • Preservation of affordable housing is a high-priority for SKHHP. • 75% of the households earn no more than 40% AMI. Page 46 of 79 Page 16 of 22 • The project’s proximity to the future Kent Des Moines Link light rail station an asset (1.3 miles). • Multi-Service Center is a well-established South King County-based nonprofit that owns and operates over 650 units of affordable housing. • Multi-Service Center’s housing programs have a history of serving BIPOC community members with 72% of clients self-identifying as BIPOC. • The project strongly aligns with SKHHP Housing Capital Fund adopted priorities including: the project sponsor’s community connection and engagement with the populations they intend to serve, advancing racial equity, addressing the needs of populations most disproportionately impacted by housing costs, advancing geographic equity of the Housing Capital Fund, and preservation. • Of the two applications submitted by the project sponsor, this project is the higher of the two priorities as the larger housing units are more difficult for families in need to access, and the current safety concerns at the project site are more immediate. PROPOSED CONDITIONS Standard Conditions 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.

Background for Motion: Background Summary: Chapter 9.50 of the Auburn City Code establishes rules and restrictions related to loitering on publicly owned property. Chapter 2.22 of the Auburn City Code establishes the rules and restrictions related to uses and activities within City owned parks. ACC 2.22.210 provides a standard and definition for tents and shelters that are located within City parks. Ordinance 6938 amends Chapter 9.50 such that tents and shelters located on non-park City owned properties are subject to the same definition and standard as those located within parks. ACC 2.22.210 states the following: “No person shall erect, maintain, use or occupy a tent or shelter in any City of Auburn park unless there is an unobstructed view through such tent or shelter from at least two sides.” On multiple occasions homelessness outreach workers have been unable to assist individuals who have overdosed or are otherwise incapacitated because the outreach worker is unable to observe the condition of a person who is living in a tent or shelter. This recurring scenario has eliminated the ability to provide Narcan or other assistance which has then resulted in the person dying. The purpose of this amendment is to allow workers to save peoples’ lives rather than learn of their peril as a result of smelling the decay of a body.
