IV. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
1) How are they determined and negotiated? In the 2011/2012 applications for
funding, agencies estimated how many units of service they will provide with the
amount of funding requested for each city. This is used as the basis for negotiating
the performance measures in the contract. South King County cities have agreed
that agencies report on service units for all funding sources, This allows them to
report far more units of service than contracted for in most cases, because they are
leveraging funds from other funding sources.
2) What the South King County cities agreed on: There was a discussion as to
whether agencies should only report on the units served with City funding or all
units provided by all funding sources to City residents. It will take agencies time to
track each funding source and the number of people served. It was decided to
continue to have the agencies report on all service units for all funding sources.
V. REVIEW OF THE FUNDING APPLICATION
Karen reviewed a dummy application to demonstrate the new application for the
Committee at http://sharelapp.culture�rants.or�/. In the last funding cycle, all
programs were required to apply under the umbrella of their agency. For
2013/2014, they will submit an individual application for each program. New
features include a built-in character count and standardized outcomes in a drop
down box. If agencies are uncertain which outcome they should choose when filling
out the application,they are to contact staff at the city they are applying to. The
HSAC members will get their own login and will have access to review applications
online.
VI. OUTCOMES
Agencies currently submit an annual outcome report at the end of each year. The
discussion is how HSAC uses this information—should it be used to help educate the
agencies, and/or should it be part of what they are rated on in the review of their
application? In the 2011\2012 scoring,they were only rated on whether they
submitted them on time, but there was no qualitative assessment. One suggestion
for the 2013/2014 rating tool was that we add an additional five points and rate the
application on criteria: Do the outcomes correlate to services provided? Was the
target goal established? Were the indicators and data collection methods
appropriate? Did the agency meet the identified outcome? Some members felt that
was an unfair advantage to currently funded agencies. No decision was made and
this topic will be revisited at a future meeting.
Staff shared that our use of outcomes is more advanced than some other cities that
collect the information, but don't use it in funding decisions.

VII.COMMUNITY NEED
The Committee needs to review the soft funding targets for each result area,to
make sure it reflects current funding priorities and needs. There is no definitive
source for community needs and what is the highest priority; this is somewhat
subjective and is not black and white. Karen will provide the Committee with the �
information she presented to the Renton Foundation and Providence on this topic.
VIII. HOUSING STABILITY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Housing Stability Project is for King County residents who have low to moderate
incomes. Renton gives 5%off the top of our CDBG funds to this program as part of
our agreement with King County. Intake is through the Community Information Line
(2-1-1), and Solid Ground is the contractor for it. Last year,thirteen Renton
residents were served, and the average expense per household was about $1,700.
IX. KING COUNTY HOUSING REPAIR PROGRAM
The King County Housing Repair Program provides funding for housing repair
services to low-income homeowners and renters in most parts of King County. They
perform necessary, quality-of-life improvements to homes, such as replacing a roof,
installing a new septic system, or making the living area or entrances more
accessible. Renton gives 25%of our CDBG funding to this program. HRAP refers
clients to the King County Housing Repair Program for major repairs. For renters
with a disability,they provide funding to make a unit more accessible. They provide
funding through loans and grants. The loans are available for up to$25,000 and at
zero percent interest. There are emergency grants of$3,000 for homeowners and
$5,000 for mobile homeowners that need to make quality of life repairs.
X. ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Alicia, and seconded by Robin,to adjourn the March
meeting. All were in vor, motion carried, and the meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.

Cost Studies from the Strengthening At Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children Initiative
Funded by the Conrad N.Hilton Foundation,the Strenathenina At Risk and Homeless Youna Mothers and Children
Initiative was established to integrate service systems in four communities and improve the health and well-being of at-
risk families. Four pilot sites built collaborations among agencies working in child development and those involved with
homeless services,combining expertise to offer young mothers and their children comprehensive wrap-around care.
s This resulted in four distinct,innovative,and cost-efficient service models that succeeded in helping 398 families and 684
children meet their goals and achieve greater stability.Learn more about the cost effectiveness of this proiect.

END HOMLIESSNESS
�rc courrr�r A r i I 2012
In late 2010,just over half way through the Ten Year Plan,the governing bodies of the Committee to End Homelessness embarked
on a Mid-Plan Review.This review included a review of the original goals,a broad evaluation of successes and shortfalls in meeting
those goals,and the actions needed in the second half of The Plan.We have made some great gains since 2005,and the Ten Year
Plan to End Homelessness in King County is regarded as one of the strongest ten year plans in the nation.Since 2005,our region has:
• Become a national leader in the creation of Housing first models for vulnerable populations
• Funded over 4,500 units of new homeless housing
• Created coordinated entry for chronically homeless single adults
• Implemented the Landlord Liaison Project breaking down housing barriers for over 900 households
• Created effective diversion programs interrupting the cycle of jails and psychiatric hospitals,realizing millions in cost offsets
• Helped more than 30,000 individuals exit homelessness(over 18,000 households during the first five years of The Plan)
More remains to be done,and The Mid Plan review resulted in a comprehensive Mid-Plan Review Report with eight key strategies

Pe�r the CEH Bodies of�lNork:the goal for the Housing Production investment priority is to develop and secure housin�g under the Ten
Year Plan through a mix of capital development and leased housing.Specific strategies include: 1)Issue annual Combined Homeless
Housing Funder NOFA that defines common funding priorities;2)Utilize common application forms for fund sources supporting
homeless supportive housing projects;and 3)Conduct collaborative reviews of applications among local and state funders.A
subproject is the Rent Assistance Workgroup,working to coordinate and align all short-term,emergency rental assistance programs
for ease of contracting,distribution,etc.
Update:A workgroup has been researching national rental assistance program models(prevention&rapid rehousing/diversion).
Among top performing national programs,five elements form the halimark of emerging best practices:
• Coordinated or Combined Funding,Contracting and Reporting,typically with one lead agency
• Centralized/Coordinated Intake and Assessment and Case Management Models
• Targeted Enrollment for Prevention and Rapid Rehousing/Diversion
• Progressive Engagement and Mindful Exit Planning with Stability Benchmarks
• Emphasis on Evaluation and Performance Measurement
Research of local funding directed towards rental assistance identifies three types of general prevention/rental assistance program
models in place:six months or less of assistance;7-24 months;and non-time limited.The group has catalogued$16.3 million in
assistance going to these three models,with$9.3 in direct rental support and the balance in case management.

Per the CEH Bodies of Work:the goal for the Homeless Families Initiative is to transform the homeless families system to streamline
entry into housing and implement best practices wherever possible,focusing on:1)Coordinated Entry and Assessment;2)
Prevention;3)Rapid Rehousing;4)Transition to Housing Stabilization Approach;and 5)Connection to Mainstream Systems.
Coordinated Entry and Assessment will go live in April! See Page 1: Breaking News

Per the CEH Bodies of Work:the goal for the HEARTH workgroup is to establish system-level measures of the status of homelessness
in King County that aligns with HEARTH Act standard,focusing on:1)Providing clear,consistent quarterly reports on the status of
homelessness in King County,per Safe Harbors;2)Establishing metrics for ending homelessness;and 3)providing recommendations
for use of data in planning and evaluation related to homelessness.
Update: Planners and providers have identified reporting elements to report on system efficiency,boiled down to three elements.
1. Length of time homeless(based on average number of days in emergency shelter(ES)and/or transitional housing(TH).ES&TH
data is reviewed separately and combined,and reported to HUD combined.)
2. Return to homelessness(based on percent of households that exit to permanent housing that return to services during the
present quarter.)
3. First time homeless(based on households entering ES or TH not recording as being served in the past 15 month period.)
A future work product may be exploring whether/how to establish common data elements across other funding sources or how to
otherwise streamline data collection efforts.

The Five Year Plan to End Homelessness Among Veterans in King County is one of several Investment Priority of the Committee to
End Homelessness in King County.It is built off of four overarching recommendations:
A. Close the existing housing gap for homeless/at-risk veterans.
B. Secure adequate funding and work with partners towards system alignment,with an emphasis on exploring efficiencies and
reducing duplication of service.
C. Prepare the housing system to address complex needs among veterans,including the newly returning veterans and aging
veterans,starting with outreach and prevention.
D. Identify and Replicate Best Practice Models for Serving Veterans.
The Veterans Five Year Plan recognizes four fundamental elements: �
• Ending Veteran Homelessness begins and ends with housing.
• Funding at the local,state and federal levels is critical to implementing the Five Year Plan for Vets.
• The Five Year Plan for Vets was developed in partnership and alignment with the state and federal five year plans.
• The Five Year Pian for Vets is informed by the unique challenges faced by Veterans.
An advisory group meets quarterly to inform implementation of the SYP.Contact Debora Gay for information.debora.gay@kingcounty.gov

6-Youth and Yc�ung Aclult Task Force upda#ed 3J2012
YYA task force goai,arising out of the Mid Plan Review:Explore and articulate a clear vision for a young adult system focused on housing,
education,employment,with an emphasis on prevention(e.g.,family reunification)&cross-systems connection(foster care,juvenile justice).
Update:The Task Force has been meeting regularly since October to define the elements of a youth and young adult homeless
'system'focused on prevention,intervention and best practices.Several local philanthropies and investors(with leadership by the
Medina Foundation and Raikes Foundation)have expressed interest in coordinating funds and influence to support a systemic
response to youth and young adult homelessness.The task force has initially addressed three priority areas:
1. Prevention—helping youth/young adults re-engage with family and other support systems in recognition that over 80%of
runaways return to family/supports eventually.The goal,then,is to support a healthy return through case management,family
treatment and counseling supports and avoid extended episodes of homelessness among youth/young adults.
2. Coordinated En�a�ement and Entrv—intervention with youth/young adults on day-one of their homelessness/runaway,
including outreach,intake,housing,case management,to assure youth receive consistent and streamlined services.
3. Use of Data—to assure that data and information is shared among agencies and used collaboratively in order to improve
services and outcomes for homeless youth and young adults.

SA Shelter task force goal,arising out of the Mid Plan Review:Explore and articulate a clear vision for the single adult shelter system,emphasizing
placement in permanent housing,and a focus on long-term&frequent stay-ers of shelter.The task force may also explore use of short-term,
shallow subsidies to facilitate exits,and conduct an inventory of Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing beds.
Update:The Task Force has met regularly since September and has researched the number and type of beds existing in the current
shelter/transitional housing system for single adults,access points for these beds,and other critical data needed to inform the
group's recommendations.The Task Force also reviewed the CEHKC Emergency Housing Task Force Recommendations drafted in
2006 to reacquaint themselves with the report and determine which,if any,recommendations remain relevant to the current
environment.They have identified several criteria and initial recommendations and will bring this to the April IAC and Funders Group
for discussion.
8-lmmigrarr�arid Refugee Task�orce upd�ted 3J2012.
I&R task force goal,arising out of the Mid Plan Review:Explore and recommend strategies to increase access to housing among culturally focused
agencies and homeless housing providers.
Update:The I&R Task Force held a day-long retreat in late February to finalize its work and recommendations.The workgroup
identified common themes and scenarios of how and why immigrants and refugees face homelessness;resources and gaps in
response ta those scenarios—both at the cultural level as well as at the resource/mainstream system level;and recommendations
to close critical gaps in services for immigrants and refugees.The Task Force has developed a series of recommendations around
1. Progressive and Supportive English Learning Programs—address the unique foundational barriers/challenges of immigrants and refugees.
2. Policy Boards to Develop an Immigrant and Refugee Lens—eliminate institutional barriers created when I&R issues are dealt with as an
afterthought.
3. Cultural Competency in Mainstream Homeless System—enhance the current service delivery system to make it more responsive.
4. Efficiency Gains in Existing Homeless Resources—improve current resources so they serve more immigrants and refugees along with other
vulnerable populations.
