EXT.: 6584
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
$400,000
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center is an integral part of the Sunset Area Transformation
Plan and a critical community improvement to more effectively respond to the human service needs of
residents in the neighborhood and surrounding community. The Renton Housing Authority purchased the
6,500-square foot former Renton Highlands Library from the City on March 16, 2018, and is working with
Neighborhood House to secure capital funds to repurpose and renovate the facility for the center. RHA has
committed $885,000 to the project for acquisition of the facility and the project was awarded $400,000 as part
of the 2017-2018 Washington State capital grant budget. The City can greatly assist RHA and Neighborhood
House in leveraging the balance of the $3 million capital acquisition and renovation campaign by providing a
$400,000 grant to help renovate the former Renton Highlands Library for use as the Sunset Multi-Service &
Career Development Center. Once completed, the center will serve as an anchor facility for education,
training, health, and social services for public housing and other low-income residents who live in the Sunset
Area and surrounding community. The goal is to raise the remaining funds, finalize the design, and complete
the renovations in order to start providing services at the Sunset Multi-Service and Career Development
Center in 2019.

ISSUE:
Should City Council provide a $400,000 grant to the Renton Housing Authority to help
renovate the former Renton Highlands Library for the Sunset Multi-Service & Career
Development Center?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approve a $400,000 grant to the Renton Housing Authority to
help renovate the former Renton Highlands Library for the Sunset Multi-Service & Career
Development Center, subject to an acceptable agreement to be approved by Council
established between the City and Renton Housing Authority.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In 2015-16, the City worked with the King County Housing Authority, Renton Housing
Authority (RHA), Neighborhood House, Renton School District, and two dozen other
partners to create the Sunset Area Transformation Plan and apply twice for a U.S.
Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Choice Neighborhoods
Implementation (CNI) grant. Although the project was not selected either year for a CNI
grant, the City, RHA, Neighborhood House, Renton School District, and many of our other
partners are working to implement as many elements of the Sunset Area Transformation
Plan as possible with other available resources.
In order to more effectively respond to the human service needs of residents1, the Sunset
Area Transformation Plan includes the creation of a Sunset Multi-Service & Career
1 More than 21% of Sunset Area residents live at or below the poverty level. Sixty percent of the
housing units are occupied by renters (compared with 43% for Renton overall). Twelve percent of

Development Center in the former 6,500-square foot Renton Highlands Library located at
2902 NE 12th Street in the center of the Sunset Area neighborhood. The plan is to
repurpose and renovate the facility and work with a variety of local and regional service
providers to deliver a broad array of place-based services at the center.
As part of the Sunset Area Transformation Plan, the City agreed to sell the former Renton
Highlands Library property to RHA for the appraised fair market value of $885,000, with
$85,000 paid by RHA at closing and the balance of the $800,000 paid by RHA over five
years in annual installments of $160,000, plus accrued interest at 1.7%. The City’s sale of
the former Renton Highlands Library to RHA closed on March 16, 2018.
The City’s original plan was to use all of the proceeds from the sale of the former Renton
Highlands Library for the construction of the new Sunset Neighborhood Park. However,
the City has been very successful in securing additional funding for the new park from King
County, Washington state, and the federal government. As a result, only $245,000 of the
$885,000 in total proceeds from the sale of the former Renton Highlands Library are
currently committed/needed to complete the Sunset Neighborhood Park. A total of
$640,000 in sale proceeds is available for other potential uses.
In fall 2016, RHA and Neighborhood House starting raising capital funds to renovate the
former Renton Highlands Library to use for the Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development
Center (see attached Capital Case Statement and Preliminary Design Concept). The current
acquisition and renovation budget for the facility is $3 million. In addition to the $885,000
committed by RHA to purchase the property, the project was awarded $400,000 as part of
the 2017-2018 capital grant budget adopted by the Washington State legislature. The
project has secured a total of $1,285,000, or 43% of the total capital campaign goal.
RHA and Neighborhood House are actively pursuing other private and public capital
sources. The goal is to raise the remaining funds, finalize the design, and complete the
renovations in order to start providing services at the Sunset Multi-Service & Career
Development Center in 2019. To help RHA and Neighborhood House reach their $3 million
capital campaign goal and to help leverage the remaining funds for the acquisition and
renovation project, staff recommends that the City provide a $400,000 grant to RHA from
the proceeds of the sale of the former Renton Highlands Library. The $400,000 grant will
come from the remaining $640,000 to be received by the City over the next five years from
the sale of the former Renton Highlands Library to RHA. The City and RHA will establish an
acceptable agreement to be approved by Council for the $400,000 grant.
Once completed, the Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center will serve as an
anchor facility for education, training, health, and social services for public housing and
the population has less than a 9th grade education (almost three times the rate for Renton overall).
The majority of residents are people of color and nearly 26% of the residents are Hispanic.

other low-income residents who live in the Sunset Area and surrounding community. To
date, the following partners are working together to provide services on-site at the center:
Renton Housing Authority
Neighborhood House
HealthPoint
St. Vincent de Paul and Centro Rendu
Renton Area Youth Services
We anticipate that additional service providers will participate in the project as we move
forward with the design, renovation, and implementation of the Sunset Multi-Service &
Career Development Center. The centralized space will serve as a catalyst for community-
based, multi-agency collaboration.
The Sunset Multi-Service and Career Development Center will provide place-based services
for economically disadvantaged adults and children to combat poverty. Community-based
services help low-income individuals and families to become more self-sufficient and
secure economic upward mobility. Numerous studies have documented the benefits from
providing support for low-income families to reduce poverty and provide long-term
positive effects on families and children. In addition, Neighborhood House has been
successfully providing place-based services for more than 100 years and currently does so
in eight King County communities. Based on their experience, the removal of barriers like
transportation for place-based services, as well as the familiarity of staff who come from
the local communities, helps achieve critical outcomes related to employment, youth and
child development, and other areas.
CONCLUSION:
The Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center is an integral part of the Sunset
Area Transformation Plan and a critical community improvement to more effectively
respond to the human service needs of residents in the neighborhood. The Renton
Housing Authority purchased the 6,500-square foot former Renton Highlands Library from
the City on March 16, 2018, and is working with Neighborhood House to secure capital
funds to repurpose and renovate the facility for the center. The City can greatly assist RHA
and Neighborhood House in leveraging the balance of the $3 million capital acquisition and
renovation campaign by providing a $400,000 grant to help renovate the former Renton
Highlands Library for use as the Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center.
