PUBLIC HEARING (DELIBERATIONS ONLY)
a) Parker Annexation (A‐13‐001) ‐ 60% Petition: Mayor Pro Tem Prince read the following
statement regarding the proposed Parker Annexation:
"City staff have been made aware that the King County Assessor's Office has determined that
the Annexation Petition Certification issued for the Parker Annexation may have been issued
in error. The Assessor's Office believes that the required 60% of assessed valuation was not
met and is therefore insufficient. Additionally, the Assessor's Office has indicated they will be
allowing property owners who signed the annexation petition to withdraw their names from
the petition. The Assessor's Office will be finalizing their determination over the course of the
week and will notify the City by next Monday, September 24, 2018 on the status of the
Petition Certification and whether the certification will be invalidated or affirmed. Staff will
notify Council of the final status as soon as possible."
Concluding, Mayor Pro Tem Prince stated that due to this new development, no deliberations
on the proposed Parker Annexation would occur at tonight's meeting.

SUBJECT:Housing Opportunity Fund Grant Award to Homestead
Community Land Trust for Sunset Crest Townhomes
ISSUE:
Should Council provide a $25,000 grant to the Homestead Community Land Trust to help
develop and construct the Sunset Crest Townhomes and provide twelve new affordable
homeownership units in the Sunset Area?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approve a $25,000 grant to Homestead Community Land Trust
to help develop and construct the Sunset Crest Townhomes and provide twelve new
affordable homeownership units in the Sunset Area.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City of Renton and Renton Housing Authority (RHA) have been working with
Homestead Community Land Trust (HCLT) since early-2016 to create affordable
homeownership opportunities in the Sunset Area. HCLT preserves and advances access to
permanently affordable homeownership as a means to create thriving, equitable, and
inclusive communities. The organization uses a community land trust model so that when
a homeowner decides to sell their home, they do so to another income qualified buyer at
an affordable price based on a resale value limited to 1.5% annual appreciation. (See the
attached “FAQs about Community Land Trusts” for additional information.)
In partnership with RHA, HCLT is developing the “Sunset Crest Townhomes” (a.k.a. Sunset
12 Townhomes), 12 permanently affordable 3- and 4-bedroom townhomes for ownership
priced to be affordable to those who make less than 80% of area median income (e.g.,
$50,400 for a one person household and $72,000 for a four person household). The
townhomes will be located in the Sunset Area, adjacent to the Glennwood Townhomes
(RHA’s first replacement housing project for the former Sunset Terrace public housing

project). The development project is part of the Sunset Area Transformation Plan and
responds to the need for more affordable homeownership opportunities in the
neighborhood where only 34% of the housing is owner-occupied (compared with 49% for
Renton citywide and $53% for King County).
The moderate-income home buyers will be able to pay for approximately 55% of the cost
of the new homes. The balance of the costs need to be paid by other public and private
sources. To date, the project has successfully secured $500,000 from the JP Morgan Chase
Foundation, $500,000 from King County’s Transit Oriented Development fund, $500,000
from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund, and $95,000 from the Edwards Mother
Earth Foundation. In addition, RHA has donated the land for the project valued at
approximately $800,000.
HCLT has requested $25,000 from the City’s Housing Opportunity Fund (HOF) to help pay
for construction costs of the new homes. The Sunset Crest Townhomes meet/will meet
the following HOF project eligibility criteria:
The project is physically located within the Renton City Limits;
(First Priority) The project is new construction and increases the available supply of
affordable housing in Renton; and
The homeownership opportunities are affordable to households earning no more
than 80% of the King County median income
HCLT intends to maintain the units in perpetuity as an affordable community land
trust homeownership project
In addition, the project exceeds the preferred 1-to-4 projected match ($1 of City funds for
each $4 of projected other funds) with a 1-to-200 projected match ($1 City dollar for each
$200 of public and private match)! (Please see the attached Housing Opportunity Fund –
Project Eligibility & Uses of Funds for additional information.)
HCLT is working to start construction of the Sunset Crest Townhomes in spring 2019 and
complete the project by early-2020. The organization is currently working with the City
and many local organizations to implement an Affirmative Fair Marketing Outreach plan for
the project. As part of their efforts to create affordable homeownership, HCLT does
substantial community outreach, marketing, and education for their new homes. In
particular, they work to reach out to prospective homeowners in the neighborhood and
community where a project will be located and put special effort into reaching residents
who are considered “least likely to apply”. This includes, for example, historically
marginalized groups of people, people of color, people with disabilities, and those for
whom English is a second language. They also work with potential applicants to help them
prepare for and qualify to be a homeowner.

HOUSING OPPORTUNITY FUND BACKGROUND:
In November 2008, the Council adopted Ordinance 5419 and transferred $200,000 of the
fund balance from the General Fund to establish the Housing Opportunity Fund (HOF). The
HOF is available to assist public and private housing projects serving low and/or moderate
income households and/or special-needs populations within the City limits. Requests for
funding from the HOF are brought to the Council for approval after staff review and
recommendation.
The Council has awarded $175,000 of the HOF to date for the following three projects:
$50,000 for construction of the RHA’s Glennwood Townhomes in the Sunset Area,
eight four-bedroom replacement housing units for the former Sunset Terrace public
housing project;
$75,000 for construction of the first phase of Habitat for Humanity’s La Fortuna
affordable home ownership project in the Benson Hill/Cascade neighborhood –
eleven three- to six-bedroom housing units; and
$50,000 for construction of RHA’s Kirkland Avenue Townhomes in the Sunset Area,
18 two-and three-bedroom townhomes, including 16 replacement housing units for
the former Sunset Terrace public housing project and two housing units for
veterans.
The proposed $25,000 grant to HCLT for the Sunset Crest Townhomes will use the balance
of the funds transferred in 2008 to establish the HOF.
CONCLUSION:
The $25,000 of Housing Opportunity Funds for Homestead Community Land Trust will help
support the development and construction of the Sunset Crest Townhomes and provide 12
units of new affordable homeownership in the Sunset Area. The project is an integral part
of the Sunset Area Transformation Plan and supports the City’s 2019 – 2024 Business Plan
goal to “encourage and partner in the development of quality housing choices for people of
all ages and income levels.”

Dear Mr. Santos-Johnson,
RE: City of Renton Housing Opportunity Fund
Thank you for this opportunity to request consideration of our affordable homeownership project in
the Renton Sunset neighborhood for an award of funds from the City’s Housing Opportunity Fund.
In partnership with the Renton Housing Authority, Homestead Community Land Trust is developing
12 permanently affordable townhomes for ownership priced to be affordable to those who make less
than 80% of area median income. Through energy-efficient design and quality construction, we will
create homes that are economical to own and minimize their impact on the environment.
The development will be located in the Sunset neighborhood of the Renton Highlands, and serves as
a component of a multi-phased approach to transformation of the Sunset neighborhood. In the path
of expansion of Rapid Ride bus service in coming years, the neighborhood hosts the Highlands
Library, North Highlands Park, Neighborhood Center, and Renton Technical College are also located
within the Sunset Area boundary.
This project utilizes property owned by the Renton Housing Authority to be conveyed to Homestead
for the development. It represents the first time that Renton Housing Authority has made land
available for new construction for another entity to build affordable housing – in this case, affordable
homeownership to complement RHA’s affordable rental portfolio. As a result, this project is on the
cutting edge of implementing recommendations made to the State Department of Commerce by the
2017 Housing Affordability Response Team (HART). These include encouragement to “public
agencies to consider underutilized public property as an opportunity for affordable housing.”
This project meets the eligibility and use of funds criteria as follows:
First – Priority – New construction projects to increase the available supply of affordable
housing. This is a new construction project that will increase the supply of affordable homes
for ownership in the neighborhood by 12.
This project is a homeownership project that will create homes affordable to households who
make less than 80% of area median income.
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
We request an allocation of $25,000 to be used for construction of the homes which will begin in
late 2018.
In terms of leverage, the project has already received a grant of $500,000 from the JPMorgan
Foundation and a $500,000 Transit Oriented Development fund award from King County, a
$500,000 award from the state Housing Trust Fund, and a $95,000 grant from the Edwards Mother
Earth Foundation.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to supply additional information as may be needed for successful
consideration of this request.
Thank you,

FAQs about Community Land Trusts
Interest in community land trusts is growing in King County and across the United States. As
community leaders and activists explore how to use community land trusts to solve housing
affordability and housing equity issues, this Q&A provides essential information about what they are
and how they work.
What is a Community Land Trust?
A community land trust is a private, non-profit, membership-based organization established to
acquire and hold parcels of land in perpetuity and to lease such parcels for housing, most often
homeownership, and other community purposes that benefit low- and moderate-income families and
communities.
The essential features of United States’ community land trusts are defined in the federal Housing
and Community Development Act of 1992 (Section 213). This includes that the community land trust
is a membership organization and that the community land trust’s lessees represent a third of the
members of the governing board.
Individual community land trusts across the United States adapt this basic model to their needs and
circumstances.
How Does Community Land Trust Homeownership Work?
Homestead serves households who make less than 80% of area median income. Homestead
secures public and private funds to lower the cost of each home to the buyer to well below market
rates . The home price is determined to be affordable to the target market when not more than 35%
of an income-eligible homebuyer’s income is used to pay for housing costs. These funds can take the
form of City, County, State and Federal funds, bank Community Reinvestment Act grants, corporate
and charitable foundation gifts, below market land, and the gifts of individual donors. The buyer pays
for and owns the home (structure and improvements) on the land. Homestead continues to own the
land under the structure and leases it to the homeowner for a small monthly fee. The home
appreciates at a rate of 1.5% compounded per year in order to keep the home affordable to future
low-income buyers while the homeowner gains equity in the form of that increased value, principal
paydown and mortgage interest tax breaks. They do not have to sell their home if their income
increases after purchase. They can own as long as they wish, and can bequeath the home and the
leasehold interest in the land to their heirs. If they sell their home, whenever they decide to sell it,
they do so to another income qualified buyer at an affordable price based on the resale formula.
When You Say You Serve People Who Make Less than 80% of Area Median Income, What Does That
Mean in Annual Salary?
Our homeowners make between 50% and 80% of area median income as determined by the
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a federal government entity. HUD calculates of 80% of Area
Median Income for a family of one at $50,400. For a family of four it is $72,000. For comparison,
according to Salary.com, a King County school teacher’s salary starts at $50,000, medical assistant
$37,000; police patrol officer $57,000, dental assistant $39,000, a Paramedic $44,630.
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
How Much Investment Does It Take to Make a Home Affordable?
Total costs for a nonprofit organization to build a home – usually in a subdivision or townhome
project – are $400,000 to $450,000. The affordable price for our buyers averages at $225,000.
This means we need to raise $175,000 to $225,000 for every home to make it permanently
affordable.
Where Does the Public Investment Come From to Make Homes Affordable?
In King County the main sources of funds to make homes affordable include the King County
Housing Finance, City of Seattle Housing Levy, State of Washington Housing Trust Fund, federal
“sweat equity” funding from Housing and Urban Development, bank community reinvestment fund
grants, private foundations and philanthropists.
Who Owns the Land in a Community Land Trust?
Parcels of land stewarded by the community land trust are owned by the community land trust. To
the extent that such land may have been purchased using public or other funds, the community land
trust typically will have legal obligations to its funding partners. As there are typically three or more
sources of tax-based funding used to create the affordability of homes in a community land trust
project no one government entity can be said to have sole authority or control over the community
land trust. It is a common misconception in Seattle that community land trusts are “owned” by the
City of Seattle.
Does Each Development/Property/Address Have to Have its Own Community Land Trust?
No. This is one of the most common myths about community land trusts. A community land trust is
an organization, a legal entity, not a development or a piece of property. Homestead Community
Land Trust (one entity) owns the land under and stewards the affordability of over 214 homes, which
includes several multiunit developments. Community land trusts are organizations established to
steward multiple homes, developments and projects. The largest community land trust in the United
States, Champlain Housing Trust in Vermont, stewards 565 owner-occupied homes and 2,200
apartments spread over three counties.
What are Community Land Trust Values?
We don't "have" a community land trust. We are a community land trust. A community land trust is
not just a legal structure or type of nonprofit, although it is that too; it is a deeply democratic way of
being and way of doing that emphasizes equity and justice.
Social justice. Lifting up people and places that have been left behind by inequitable housing
policies, discriminatory practices or runaway real estate prices.
Land reform. Expanding the supply of "community-owned" (via non-profit ownership) land,
removing such acreage permanently from the speculative market.
Housing reform. Expanding the supply of permanently affordable homes.
Place-based development. Place making in neighborhoods, villages, cities, and towns,
promoting not only the development of affordable housing, but also the provision of other
facilities, activities, and services that enhance the quality of life in a place of residence.
Community engagement. Engaging place-based communities in planning and guiding the
trajectory of their own development.
Democratic governance. Involving the people who live on and around its lands in guiding and
governing the organization itself.
How Does the Community Exercise its Voice in a Community Land Trust?
As a community land trust, Homestead is distinguished from housing entities that otherwise provide
for permanent affordability of homes in our commitment to democratic and community-based
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
governance through our membership. A community land trust by definition has a Board structure
that includes representation of lessee members (our own homeowners), as well as representatives
of the communities in the area we serve. Our bylaws call for membership participation in governance
and ascribe meaningful decision-making authority to members. These are demonstrations of
Homestead’s commitment to community ownership and accountability.
What Was Homestead Founded to Do?
Homestead Community Land Trust's articles of incorporation establish our purposes for benefiting
low- and moderate-income people through housing and development of land. Among our first four
purposes are
acquiring, improving and preserving housing for low and moderate income people,
leasing or selling homes through our shared equity model,
acquiring and developing land in ways that support the development and improvement of
low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and communities, and
supporting and developing community-based, democratically controlled organizations that
will improve housing, land, and other activities.
How Does Homestead Keep Homes Permanently Affordable?
Public and private investments close the gap between what homes cost to build or acquire and what
modest people can afford. We use voluntary agreements to restrict resale prices after initial
purchase to perpetuate affordability. Putting homes or land in the land trust without public
investment does not necessarily make a property affordable or keep it affordable. It is the initial
investment that creates the affordable price, and the owners’ agreement to resale restrictions that
keeps the home permanently affordable.
Why Do We Call Community Land Trust Homeownership a "Pay It Forward" Model?
Public investment puts the price of the home within reach. And then our homeowners themselves
keep homes permanently affordable by agreeing to "pay it forward" when they go to resell their
home. They can own their home as long as they wish, but when they sell, they do so at a formula
price that keeps the home affordable to the next modest income person. This pooling and sharing of
resources has created over 200 homes that are affordable to low-income homebuyers and will
remain affordable permanently as an asset to our community.
What do People Mean When They Call CLT Homeownership a "One and Done" Model?
“One and Done” refers to the fact that once the public investment is made to create the affordability
of the home at the first sale, it is usually unnecessary to increase or add to that investment at
subsequent sales. If the initial price of the home is truly affordable to start with and subject to a
formula resale price at all subsequent sales, the home stays affordable in perpetuity. Additional
public investments can then be used to create additional homes, not to replace homes that may
have been affordable at the first sale but were sold at market-rate to the next buyer.
Why is CLT Homeownership an Important Part of a City's Housing Strategy?
Many of our homeowners pay less per month for their mortgage than they would pay in market rate
rent (the ultimate rent control). And unlike rent payments, a mortgage payment accrues equity and
ownership increases housing stability. The typical net worth of a renter is $2,000 compared with
$160,000 of a homeowner (US.gov). Without equity, people are rental dependent, and subject to
displacement. The equity that people build in just five years of ownership can be the path to other
opportunities. Cities that care about giving residents a path to self-sufficiency as well as affordable
housing can use community land trust ownership programs to achieve both objectives while making
efficient use of public funds. Creating a growing inventory of permanently affordable homes benefits
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
the community by creating ownership opportunities for households shut out of the market and by
reducing displacement.
Why is Affordable Homeownership an Important Part of an Equitable Housing Strategy?
A root cause of racial and ethnic disparities of homeownership is structural racism embedded in
federal, state, regional and municipal housing policies. The larger system of overt racial
discrimination in housing -- discriminatory FHA insurance policies, bank redlining, and restrictive
neighborhood covenants - may be a thing of the past. But its legacy lives on – homeownership rates
of African Americans are 41.5% compared with 72.1% for whites (U.S Census 1st Qtr 2016). Further
the net worth of whites is 13 times that of African Americans (Pew Research) because the principle
means of wealth creation in our society is homeownership. Community land trust homeownership
puts homeownership within reach of those who have been historically shut out of ownership.
How Do I Become A Member of Homestead?
Information on how to become a member of Homestead is available here on our website.
Membership is only $25 OR 3 hours of volunteer service per year completed before January. We hold
our annual meeting in January and want to verify members eligible to vote prior to the meeting. Non-
homeowner membership is renewed every year.
What Can I Do to Support Homestead?

advocacy work, please contact Executive Director Kathleen Hosfeld, kathleen@homesteadclt.org,

FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The Renton Police Department will be reimbursed up to $90,000.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton Police Department has applied for, and been awarded, a Washington Association of Sheriffs
and Chiefs (WASCP) Mental Health Grant that pairs mental health professionals (MHP) with police. The grant
requires no contributing funds but does specify the funds must go to mental health professional’s wages and
benefits only.
The grant will allow the police department to expand on the services and partnership we currently have with
Catholic Community Services (CCS). CCS mental health professionals currently come out in the field with
police and make contacts to persons facing mental health challenges. CCS has the ability and has already
proven successful in outreach that includes providing shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and other assi stance
on both a short term and long term basis. The grant also includes a software program called RideAlong which
creates a database for contacts and tracking where behavior patterns can also be documented to aid in the
success of future contacts.
The overall program hopes to accomplish reducing the number of 911 calls through intervention as well as to
provide an enhanced ability to provide services such as food, shelter, clothing, and drug/alcohol counseling.
The Police Department hopes to bring on CCS as a partner, provide training to MHP’s and police personnel,
and put a formal program in place through the grant as soon as possible.

Project Description
The overall structure ofthe program will pair a mental health professional with police officers to
respond to 911 calls that involve persons with mental health issues as well as,proactive contacts with
persons facing mental health challenges with a goal towards services and diversion from incarceration
or commitment.Any money awarded would go towards funding a part/full time mental health
professional and cover related overtime expenses or special details related to mental health and
homelessness.
The City of Renton police Department is staffed for approximately 129 positions and covers a population
ofapproximately 100,000.Approximately 64 of the 129 are in patrol and 10 of those positions are
assigned to a Directed Enforcement team.The police department responds to about 240 calls of service
per day many which involve persons facing mental health challenges.
The process and determined protocols for gathering information will be primarily with the 10 Directed
Enforcement Team positions which"areassigned to the downtown core.This group is divided into two
teams and works shiftwork Mondays —Saturdays.
This team already receives training on dealing with persons with mental health issues and contacts
approximately 10-15 persons per shift that are either call responsive or many times self-initiated.
These police officers are sometimes accompanied by mental health workers (Catholic Community
Services)who are able to offer services such as food,shelter,and clothing to meet basic needs.
Each DETteam has a supervisor assigned and the supervisor will pair with the mental health
professional to do fo|low—up,tracking,and case management.
Police personnel will utilize resources available through mental health agencies such as Catholic
Community Services to divert participants from short term services to more permanent community
support services.
Project Need
The Renton police department currently spends a tremendous amount of time and resources dealing
with persons facing mental health challenges.It is our belief that a properly equipped program with a
partnership could be successful in moving participants into long term shelter and housing.This would
reduce the number of calls and resources for the police department while providing real long term
solutions to persons facing mental health challenges.
Project Personnel
This program would be filled with 8 police officers,2 police supervisors,and one mental health
professional.The MHP would be staffed from Catholic Community Services who provides services on a
contract fee.There are different options available depending on the amount of money awarded to staff
a part/full time mental health professional dedicated to the City of Renton or City of Auburn.
Partnership and Collaboration
AGENDA ITEM #7. h)
The police department intends to cultivate and develop a system of coordinated care in partnership with
existing mental health agencies both private and public.As mentioned,there is a current but informal
partnership with Catholic Community Services.Catholic Community Services provides food,shelter,and
long term housing to those in need.The participants are gathered from field contacts,often initiated by
police,while collaborating with police.The overall goal is permanent solutions other than incarceration
or hospital commitment that tie up police and community resources and really have no viable
permanent solution.It's our belief that continued case management and provision for services on a
long term basis are viable and play an integral role in a more long term solution.
Services
Officers are trained in stabilization,observation,and assessing disposition for persons facing mental
health challenges.A partnership with an MHP and in our experience with Catholic Community Services
will strengthen this ability.Currently officers use a multi-step process for assessing persons that are a
danger to themselves or others with a goal towards referral rather than incarceration or commitment.
It's generally recognized that incarceration and commitment are short term solutions and officers
frequently end up dealing with the same individuals on a repeated basis.
The MHP would develop and track individualized case plans utilizing the software and sharing the
information with other program participants.
Thank you for your consideration.
AGENDA ITEM #7. h)
Timeline
The Renton Police Department can immediately put the outlined program into place immediately due to
the framework already being in place.Currently,police officers pair with a MHP from Catholic
Community Services and make 10-15 field contacts per day with a goal towards providing services such
as food,shelter,and long term housing.We have found that repeated contacts are sometimes
successful in gaining the trust and participation of potential participants.
I have already been in contact with MHP Matt Landis from Catholic Community Services and he assures
me we could strengthen and expand upon the current partnership.Further CCS has offers and works in
cities on a contract basis both part time and full time already.CCS has an established array of services in
place to provide many services to participants and they've also expressed their desire to work directly
with Renton PD and surrounding agencies.
