Facility (IBHTF) at 95 Tobin St was approved by the Renton Hearing Examiner on December 20, 2021, following a public
hearing on December 7, 2021. More information about this project is available online by clicking here.

Dear Mr. Close,
I have recently been made aware of an Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment Facility (IBHTF) is in
the process of being located at 95 S Tobin St in Renton. I know the building has been approved for
use for housing people transitioning out of WA State psychiatric hospitals, but wanted to share my
concerns about this facility’s location. I am not opposed to having an IBHTF in Renton but have 2
major concerns about its location. First, as much as we would like every resident to take the
opportunity to transition back into the community, not all will utilize this time well and for those who
do not we put our High School students at greater risk. This is already a high-crime area of Renton
and close to 2 high schools. Also we want a healthy rehabilitation experience for the residents going
through the program and I don’t believe a high crime area offers them the best potential for
success. Please reconsider allowing this facility in that location.
