1. Call to Order at 3:05pm.
2. Approval of Agenda—The order of agenda items was changed, moving 4a-Finalize Vice Chair Role
and Election till after the 4c-Overview of the Sunset Redevelopment Plan.Joe Scovel motioned to

3. Approval of Minutes—Krista Townsend motioned to approve the February 19, 2019 meeting
minutes as presented, motion was seconded, all were in favor, motion carried.
a. Cynthia Jones commented that the member roster that was distributed in the meeting
packet shows an incorrect term expiration date for her term; it should be 2019 not 2020.
i. Post meeting research confirmed that her term expiration is 1213112020.
4. Discussion /Action Items:
a. Coordinated Entry Presentation—Shawna Morency, from the Multi-Service Center(MSC)
explained her role at the agency, the programs she supports/supervises and how the
clients transition through the program to access potential resources and referrals.
Highlights include:
i. MSC is one of a few regional contracted agencies who are Regional Access Points
(RAP) for King County's Coordinated Entry forAll(CEA) program; a place to access
resources and referrals for people experiencing homelessness in King County. Crisis
Clinic (2-1-1) schedules appointments at RAP locations a week in advance for
screening; no-show rate for appointments is roughly 40%. RAPs also provide 'walk-
in' hours and each RAP has at least one mobile staff person who is out in the field
meeting people where they're at (shelters, cars, etc)to provide the same screening
tool to help people get access to services.
a. Because homeless and housing assistance is very limited, RAPs provide
"Path to Home" services which assist households in quickly finding and
securing temporary or permanent solutions to homelessness outside of the
homeless services system.This program assists households to identify
immediate, alternative housing arrangements and, if necessary connect
them with services and financial assistance to help them obtain or return to
housing. Skilled Path to Home providers partner with households in finding

creative solutions to their needs and baby steps to move toward those
solutions.
ii. RAP staff uses a standardized Housing Triage Tool (with very personal questions)to
determine a 'vulnerability score' that is then used to match the right level of
services and housing resources to people facing a housing crisis. This tool is in the
process of being up updated or replaced.
iii. Coordinated Entry forAli is for those truly homeless (in emergency shelters,
sleeping in cars or outside, or fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence).
'Homelessness' is self-reported so people do not have to provide any
documentation when they are screened for services. Then if they are eligible for a
referral,they will have to provide a variety of documentation to receive assistance.
Clients must be a minimum of 17.5 years old to be screened and request
assistance.
iv. They provide financial assistance for'move-in' costs, but not rent assistance.
V. RAPs do not have 'need-specific' professionals on staff, but rather partner with
legal, employment, health and mental health professionals to provide this type of
assistance.
vi. Program data is available at "Coordinated Entry Quarterly Review"
https://www.kingcou nty.gov/depts/community-h uman-
services/housing/services/homeless-housing/coordinated-entry/data.aspx
vii. Shawna provided handouts with more information.
b. Overview of the Sunset Redevelopment Plan—Mark Santos-Johnson, Community
Economic and Development Department (CED).
Highlights include:
i. Homes in the Sunset Neighborhood were originally built in the 1940's by King
County and Renton Housing Authority as temporary housing for Boeing workers.
This housing stock is now very old and needs repair or replacement; some of it has
already been removed,with plans for multi-use housing/retail around the new
Highlands Library and Sunset Neighborhood Park. Other housing has been replaced
with new townhomes and modular units nearby, with more underway. Mark has
been working on grants for improvements and expansions in the Sunset
Neighborhood area for over 20 years.
ii. To date the City has spent$100 million on capital projects in the area like the new
library, Meadow Crest Playground and other infrastructure, yet this effort has not
really addressed human service needs. Crime in this area is twice the amount as
the City of Renton as a whole, and demographics show that for 60%of the
residents English is not their primary language.
iii. In 2014 the City funded the Human Services Needs Assessment and continues to
use it to leverage funding opportunities. This assessment was also used to address
unmet human services needs like the development of the new Multi-Service
Center which will be housed in the former Highlands Library building. Partners and
funding are still being pursued to support this project, as capital improvements,
service providers and the operating budget as a whole is beyond city capacity.

iv. All of the businesses in the Greater Highlands Shopping Center moved out by the
end of last year, as the developer was moving forward with plans and permitting
for mixed-use housing and retail space. As of this month, the developer under
contract backed out of the project. Mark says there are other developers who have
shown interest in the redevelopment.
V. The Sunset Area Transformation Plan is a joint effort with multiple area partners to
help guide community reinvestment in the Sunset Neighborhood, as one part of
the overall strategy to improve the area. The plan was originally created to apply
for federal funding. More information at http://sunsetrenton.com
5. Due to time constraints, Staci VanderPol motioned to table the discussion to Finalize Vice Chair
Role and Election till the May 215Y meeting, motioned was seconded, all were in favor, motion
carried.
6. Meeting Evaluation —Guy reviewed the Committee's Group norms noting how members and
member interaction had exhibited these norms in today's meeting.
7. Create Agenda —
a. City of Renton Housing Repair Assistance Program and possibly King County Housing
Repair Program
b. Recap of the Cold Weather Shelter at 300 Rainier Avenue South during the recent snow.
c. Side note—Cynthia Jones and Teresa Kenney both stated that they will not be able to

Tips & FAQs
CEA: (206)328-5796 MSC RAP: (253)838-6810
What is CEA?
CEA is a HUD mandated system that is intended to connect the most vulnerable households to the
limited housing resources that are funded under certain types of funding sources, and to do so in a
centralized way. HUD requires all communities receiving certain types of funds to have a coordinated
entry system.
What is a RAP and what do they do?
RAPs are regionally centralized hubs where households can access connections to services and begin a
conversation about how to find creative ways to solve your current housing situation. RAP staff can
assist with helping you find your own solutions to your current housing situation by having a diversion
conversation (see below)and assisting with making connections to employment assistance and other
services and resources. In some cases, RAP staff are able to conduct a housing assessment for limited
housing resources.
What does a RAP NOT do?
RAPs do not provide or locate permanent housing for households experiencing homelessness.
RAPs do not provide case management services.
RAPs do not provide ongoing housing subsidies.
What is Diversion (also called Path to Home)?
Diversion (also known as Path to Home) is an approach that helps a household problem solve their
current housing situation by exploring creative solutions that can get them housed more quickly and
efficiently than waiting for a housing resource that will likely not become available through CEA.
Diversion plans are unique to each household and can include mediation, relocation, assistance with
move-in to a private apartment, or other solutions. Diversion is client centered and can occasionally
include limited financial assistance for eligible costs. Diversion is one time assistance intended to solve
the immediate housing crisis and is not ongoing assistance and does not include case management.
Your initial conversation at a RAP will focus on diversion.
Can a RAP get me housed through CEA?
RAPs do not have access nor make referrals to the housing that is held in CEA. In some cases RAPs can
perform a housing assessment for possible referral to the pool of households waiting for a resource.
There is no way to know when or if a resource will become available because housing inventories with
different eligibility change on a daily basis.
I completed a housing assessment, when will I get housed?
The need in our community is extreme and the pool of people waiting for a housing resource does not
function like a waitlist.The number of people and families experiencing homelessness changes every
day as does the list of available resources.The RAP nor CEA have a way to know how much time it will
take for an eligible housing unit to become available, and unfortunately the vast majority of
households experiencing homelessness will not receive a housing resource through CEA,which holds
only a small amount of units compared to the need. Households are encouraged to explore diversion
with a RAP staff member as a means to resolve the housing crisis.
I have completed the housing assessment but my situation has changed. What should
1 do?
To update your contact information or any other information related to your housing assessment,
please call The RAP site that you completed your assessment with.The number is listed at the top of
this page.
Please call to update if any of the following changes:
✓ Where your household is staying
✓ If there are changes in family members
✓ If the number of people in your household changes
✓ Contact information (email,telephone number,secondary telephone number,etc.)
✓ Change to income (employment,SSI,TANF,child support,etc.)
✓ Change in payment plan to an old landlord or debt collector
✓ Criminal background or warrant
Employment Navigation
If you are not working,this is a chance to connect to employment services. Speak to your RAP screener
about getting directly connected to an Employment Navigator.
Possible things to work on with an Employment Navigator:
• Talk about your work history and your strengths and barriers
• Create a plan for your employment goals
• Connections to employment openings through various employment services
• Help with interviewing or writing a resume
• Refer you to job openings or job fairs
• Information about services such as childcare, access to transportation,or work clothes
Next Steps
If you are referred to a housing resource through CEA, a housing Navigator will attempt to contact you
to offer the resource.After the Housing Navigator connects you with the housing provider,they will
inform you of the documentation the housing provider will require. If you are working on a
diversion/Path to Home plan with RAP staff,they will help you identify what you will need to do to
resolve your situation as quickly as possible.

Diversion: A Creative Path to Solving a Homeless Crisis
Diversion FAQ's
What is diversion?
Diversion is designed to creatively and quickly end an episode of homelessness by focusing on the
household's strengths coupled with short-term staff support and minimal financial assistance if needed.
Diversion can help with things like relocation,move-in costs, help with utility or rental arrears(if it results in
an immediate housing placement),and fees for securing ID or birth certificates,or payment for background
or credits checks.The approach with diversion is to be creative in solving the episode of homelessness and to
house households either temporarily or permanently within 30-days and that it last a minimum of 90-days.
How Does Diversion Works?
A diversion specialist will have a conversation with you to help you determine housing alternatives and help
you problem solve and come up with a possible solution to the current situation.Together,you and the
diversion specialist will then map out the steps and make a plan to solve the housing crisis including who will
be responsible for what and eligibility for any associated costs.
Will diversion help pay my rent?
Diversion is not a rental assistance or subsidy program.Diversion can be used to pay past owed rent if you
are currently homeless as long as paying the rental debt results in an immediate housing placement.
Why diversion,why can't I wait until a subsidized housing unit opens?
There are very few housing resources through CEA,and particularly not enough to meet the need in our
community. Diversion can help you solve your homeless episode much faster by building on your strengths in
order to gain housing quickly.
Who does diversion serve?
Eligible households are those sleeping outside or a place not meant for human habitation, or those staying in
emergency shelter.Those fleeing,or attempting to flee domestic violence with no other place to go are also
eligible.
How do I get connected to someone to talk about diversion?
You've taken the first step-you're somewhere reading about diversion right now! Hopefully you're ready to
start that conversation today.If not,you can call 211 to make an appointment at a Regional Access Point
(RAP). If you have trouble getting to a RAP during business hours, 211 can help with having a RAP staff
connect with you to discuss diversion.There are also many community based diversion specialists.If you are
currently working a provider ask if they are able to assist with diversion.

Path to Home
Path to Home is a program offering one-time financial assistance for you to find creative
solutions for a more permanent housing outside of the homeless services system. In order to
qualify:
o You must have a plan that directly results in a housing solution outside of the homeless
housing system. It is not a rental assistance program. Extended Stay Hotels are not an option.
Options may include move-in costs for a market rate apartment (including deposit and first
month's rent), paying previous housing debt/rental arrears (if resulting in immediate housing),
transportation to a more permanent housing solution, and other costs.
c You must either be sleeping outside, in a place not meant for human habitation, in an
emergency shelter, or be fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence
This is intended to be a short-term and light-touch intervention, not lasting beyond 30 days. A
successful solution may be temporary, but a good practice is to aim for a solution that will last
for at least 90 days.
Funding is limited and is not guaranteed to be available. If you have a housing plan,please
contact the RAP where you completed your King Co. Coordinated Entry appointment to
confirm your current eligibility and if funding is available.
Documentation you may be asked to provide for Path to Home includes: Income verification
documents, copy of photo ID or Driver's License and vehicle insurance, copies of Section 8
paperwork if applicable, and other documents related to your housing plan.
Please contact us immediately if:
- Your contact information changes
- Where you are staying currently changes
- Your income changes
Examples of Allowable Move-in Expenses if sufficient funding is available:
-Security Deposit(only if the landlord is offering a 12-mo.lease)
-First month rent OR first month of pro-rated rent(not both)
Examples of Move-in Expenses Not Covered by Path to Home Funding:
-Non-refundable fees or deposits(including Admin.fees and costs related to pets or parking)
-Holding fees
-Last month rent
