RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Equity, Housing, and Human Services Department’s proposal to expend its
2022 American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) allocation of $1.5 million as summarized in the
above table.
BACKGROUND
The American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) 2022 allocation to the Equity, Housing, and Human
Services Department (EHHS) is $1.5 million. To offer further investment in the community,
EHHS developed the proposed list of projects eligible for ARPA funding and requests
Council’s approval to dedicate the department’s allocation accordingly. EHHS will commit a
significant share of this funding to expand human services resources in the community in a
manner that benefits vulnerable populations, homelessness, and behavioral health
programs, among others. In addition, the department would like to enter into a consultant
agreement to continue progress on its Equity and Inclusion Program and increase staffing by
0.5 FTE to support the Rental Registration Program and other EHHS initiatives.
While initially it was suggested to use the funds for utility and rental assistance, following
the formation of EHHS and through collaborative analysis and conversations between staff
and community resource partners, EHHS determined human services needs in the
community have been historically underserved. To obtain clarity on where this funding can
best be concentrated and have the largest positive impact in human services areas, staff
determined it would benefit from conducting an Equity and Community Needs Assessment.
Staff further determined a portion of the department’s ARPA allocation could be used to
implement the key priorities determined by the Human Services plan. Currently, $775,000
(52%) of the department’s ARPA allocation is dedicated to this. Once these key priorities
are determined, EHHS will bring these to Council for further authorization. The plan itself is
not funded by ARPA funds and a request for proposals (RFP) was published November 22,
2021. Staff is currently reviewing the responses to that RFP and will be conducting
interviews later this month. A consultant agreement with the selected responder will be
routed accordingly for approval (depending on contract signature authority per city Policy
and Procedure 250‐02) with a start date planned for early February.
If the proposed project list is approved, later this month staff will submit requests to Council
to approve a consultant agreement to manage the 2022 Equity and Inclusion Program and
an increase from 0.5 FTE to 1.0 FTE for the existing, vacant Administrative Secretary I
position.

THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated for reference purposes
only as the ________ of __January__, 2022, is made by and between the CITY OF
RENTON, a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Washington (“City”), and KING COUNTY, a Washington home rule charter county
(“County”), pursuant to the authority of Revised Code of Washington (“RCW”) Chapter
36.70B.170 et seq. The City and County are the Parties to this Agreement.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Development Agreement between City of Renton and King County Page 2
RECITALS
Authority
A. The Washington State Legislature has authorized the execution of a
development agreement between a local government and an entity having ownership
or control of real property within its jurisdiction , pursuant to RCW 36.70B.170 through
36.70B.210 (the “Development Agreement Statute”).
B. A development agreement must set forth the development standards
and other provisions that shall apply to, govern and vest the development, use and
mitigation of the development of the real property for the duration specified in the
agreement (RCW 36.70B.170(1)).
The Project
C. The County purchased that certain real property comprising 3.89 acres
more or less, located along Oakesdale Ave SW near its intersection with SW Grady Way,
addressed as 1150 Oakesdale Ave SW, Renton, Washington 98057, and situated within
the municipal boundaries of the City of Renton in King County, Washington. Such real
property is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and depicted in a survey on
Exhibit B (the “Property”).
D. The Property is zoned “Commercial Office” (or, “CO”) by the City. The
Property has been developed since approximately 1998 with a three-story building that
is approximately 67,842 square feet in floor area and has been used as an extended-stay
hotel with 110 individual hotel rooms each offering a bed or beds, a kitchenette, a
bathroom, and are approximately 318 to 470 square feet in size . Pursuant to RMC 4-11-
080, the City considers the Property a “Hotel, extended-stay” land use. Prior to
Ordinance 5996, the City considered the Property a “Hotel” land use. King County is
proposing to comply with the zoning condition associated with the conversion from an
existing extended-stay hotel use to a permanent supportive housing use and waiving
requirements for minimum net residential density and structured parking requirements
in RMC 4-2-120.B, and all requirements in RMC 4-2-080.A.16 and RMC 4-4-150 pursuant
to RMC 4-11-080.A.89.
E. The County intends to select one or more third-party operators
(collectively, the “Operator”) who will operate the Property as Permanent Supportive
Housing (the “Permanent Supportive Housing Site”) as is further described in this
Agreement. In the future, the County will also likely transfer ownership of the
Permanent Supportive Housing Site to a third -party.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Development Agreement between City of Renton and King County Page 3
F. Through the approval of this Agreement, the Renton City Council issues
land use approval for file number LUA21-000389 for the Permanent Supportive Housing
Site as an alternative to the County applying for and obtaining a conditional use permit
and site plan review approval as part of the hearing examiner approval process.
G. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW and
its implementing rules, Chapter 197-11 WAC (“SEPA”), the City and the County agree
that the County shall serve as lead agency for purposes of SEPA review of the
Permanent Supportive Housing Site.
H. It is the intent of this Agreement to provide for agreed conditions of the
City’s approval of the Permanent Supportive Housing Site as an alternative approval
process to a conditional use permit and site plan review as part of the hearing examiner
approval process.
I. This Agreement was considered at the City Council Committee of the
Whole meeting on January 10, 2022 and the Renton City Council held a public hearing
on this Agreement at the regular City Council meeting on January 10, 2022. The City
Council authorized the City to enter into this Agreement with County at its regular
Council meeting on January 24, 2022.

EXHIBIT C – Security Plan
The mission of the security plan is to provide staff, tenants, partners, and neighbors with a
system that addresses day to day operational security and emergency preparedness
planning. This helps:
· Reduce the community’s vulnerability and increase resiliency to known natural and
human-made hazards.
· Foster cooperative planning and empowerment so that the community may increase
survivability before, during, and after any incident.
· Regularly evaluate Health Through Housing Renton Supportive Housing’s capacity to
affect a coordinated and viable disaster response effort that is focused on protecting
and saving lives, lessening community suffering, recognizing community members’
vulnerabilities, minimizing property loss, and reestablishing normalcy quickly.
· Establish and continually nurture growing partnerships with neighborhood
communities to increase resiliency in the event of interruption to city, state, or
federal services.
The Program Director will be the lead staff person for developing, implementing and managing the
security plan. The Program Director will be responsible for staffing, compliance, facilities, all day to
day activities, and the security and safety of the residents and the building. The Program Director
will share responsibility for responding to after-hours emergencies with other program staff. The
Program Director reports to the assigned Catholic Community Services (CCS) Division Director. The
front desk advocates are responsible for staffing the main lobby area 24 hours per day. They
provide staff presence after hours and on weekends and holidays. In addition to 24/7 staffing,
there will be:
· A main point of entry at a secured building entrance
· Security Cameras monitored by on-site staff
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)

staff.
· A comprehensive first aid kit will be maintained in a common area shared by staff
· Basic tools will be maintained on site for both practical and emergency use.
Personnel
· Staff on duty at the time of a disaster will be initially tasked with assisting guests
until relieved by other employees or supervisor(s).
· Presently the number of staff on duty would be a high 12 and a low of 3 at any given
time.
· The Division Director will respond by either coming directly to the site or by
contacting another agency supervisor and requesting that they proceed to the site.
· A copy of the staff telephone list has been provided to both the onsite Primary and
Secondary Disaster Leaders, with an additional copy kept in the disaster barrel on
site as well as in the ‘go kit’.
· To support staff on the scene we will use available community and client volunteers
present at the time of the event.
Volunteers
· Volunteers present may assist with the following tasks:
· Comfort and aid to the injured.
· Collection of necessary survival items from the building e.g. blankets, food, water,
etc. as it is safe to do so.
· They may also help with communication, as well as mustering at the evacuation site
with the survival items, subject to their willingness to engage in the activity.
· Volunteers will not be assigned to heavy search and rescue efforts, fire suppression
or any other effort that could put additional lives at risk or for which they are
uncomfortable performing.

Communication Options during a Disaster
Landlines – if you have access to a landline it should be your first priority for use in the early
stages ‘post disaster’. Most landlines will maintain a modest reserve of power for a short period
of time. Emergency Management protocol encourages individuals to stay off cell phones at first
as the spurt in use jams and overloads the towers and negatively impacts the ability of our first
responders (police, fire and EMT) to communicate.
Cell phones - cell phone towers may be overloaded in the immediate aftermath of a disaster thus
persistence is necessary.
Email – you may utilize email to communicate if the service remains active.
Direct Meetings with Clients & Community Members
Fliers
In the unusual event that the Health Through Housing Renton site must be evacuated you should
post a flier on all doors containing the following information, then lock the door(s) behind you as
you vacate the premise:
· “Health Through Housing Renton Site has been evacuated as of __:__ and is closed until
further notice – do not enter”.
o Include the address of the evacuation point, for example: “We have evacuated to
the Kent Family Center located at 1229 West Smith Street, Kent, Washington
98032” or where otherwise defined.
· Leave a note for Search & Rescue personnel as to whether everyone in the building was
accounted for upon evacuation
Media
If you are contacted by the media to make a statement you must defer. As per CCSWW policy
you may not make a statement to the media. Ask for the media member’s name and contact
information and then reach out and share it with Flo Beaumon at 206.324.5401; thereafter, notify
the Division Director.

EXHIBIT E – Support Services Plan
KING COUNTY SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
King County will provide Resident Support Services as part of the Health Through Housing (HtH)
initiative including case management, behavioral and physical healthcare, employment
preparation and counseling, housing services, and other supports to improve health, financial
resources, housing stability, and community connection. Resident supports will be provided so
that HtH residents receive personalized housing counseling and case management to maintain
their housing, improve their health, increase social engagement and independence. Emergency
and permanent supportive housing operations in all HtH buildings will specifically include
physical and behavioral health supports by providing health care system enrollment and access
on-demand to integrated healthcare for all HtH residents while residing in an HtH building.
SUPPORT I: MOBILE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTERVENTION PROGRAM
For individuals who have transitioned from homelessness into the HTH RENTON site, this
program will create and provide mobile behavioral health intervention with access to housing
created, operated, or otherwise funded by HtH proceeds (required by KC 24.30.030.A.5).
This program will include both mental health and substance use disorder services, access to
psychiatric medications, and medications to treat opioid use disorder. The primary program
goals are to provide in the moment crisis behavioral health services, and to assist individuals in
becoming aware of behavioral health service options, via mobile intensive response teams.
Mobile units will provide these services on-site and travel among multiple community service
areas and all HtH sites.
SUPPORT II: HEALTHCARE ACCESS
Increase health by providing health care system enrollment and access on-demand to
integrated healthcare for all HtH residents while they reside in a HtH building.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Exhibit E – Support Services Plan Page 2 of 2
SUPPORT III: EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS
Employment specialists will fill a necessary service gap and support the goals of HtH by helping
formerly chronically homeless individuals find and maintain gainful, living-wage employment
and increasing their income. This program will fund up to five employment specialists who will
work at the various HtH sites. These staff will provide initial employment readiness
assessments, connect job-ready residents to employment opportunities, share employment
resources, hold group workshops on-site, and refer participants to community-based
employment services and training programs. Staff will serve multiple sites and hold dedicated
on-site hours for drop-in appointments and scheduled meetings with residents. Staff will serve
as a connection point between HtH residents and existing employment services contracted
through or provided by the county and employment resources available in the community.
CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES (CCS) SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
Eligible participants may need educational training, health care, chemical dependency
treatment, mental health counseling, adequate food, assistance to develop independent living
skills, and other supportive services to promote personal well-being and self-sufficiency.
Supportive social service needs will vary from individual to individual.
Each participant will work closely with CCS’s service staff to develop a self-identified goal plan.
Staff will also refer, coordinate and monitor services by acting liaisons between participants and
social service providers.
The service staff will work closely with participants to secure and monitor the following types of
services as needed for individual residents:
· Counseling: If residents wish to receive counseling, they will be able to access it through
partnerships with local providers such as CCS’s Community Mental Health program,
CReW.
· Health Care: Many residents will have health care needs. CCS will work to ensure
residents are enrolled and have access to on demand integrated healthcare.
· Information & Referral: Site staff and other residents will encourage and facilitate
residents to connect with the resources they need, and by providing referral
information. Additionally residents will be able to set up a services referral committee,
to provide information to one another.
· Education/Job Training: Some of the residents will have job skills; stable housing
promotes their employment stability. For those who need job training, YWCA
Employment Services provides short-term training, support services, and job placement
assistance. Residents will be able to participate in adult GED programs. In addition,
numerous local programs provide training in specific job skills, including Fare Start,
(culinary arts), Seattle Vocational Center, Pioneer Industries, Goodwill and
Apprenticeships and Non-Traditional Employment for Women.
· Senior/Disabled Services: For residents who need regular chore services, they can be
provided by Catholic Community Services or Fremont Public COPES.
