In Attendance Members: Linda Smith., Chair; Shannon Matson; Elyn Blandon; Brook Lindquist; Amy Bresslour; Dorothy Capers; Ryan Mclrvin. Zenovia Radcliff arrived late. City of Renton Staff: Karen Bergsvik; Jennifer Jorgenson; Margie Beitner; Katie McClincy Absent Excused: Len Aron 2. ELC® Linda welcomed everyone and thanked them for attending. Karen introduced Cmdr. Katie McClincy and explained she is our liaison from the Police Department. Human Services and the Police Department work closely together on homelessness issues and domestic violence, and it is helpful and educational to have a representative of the department participate in the meetings. Katie then shared a little of her background with the members. In her tenure with the Police Department, she has worked her way through each division and worked in a position of Sergeant or Commander in each division within the organization. She will be working closely with the Human Services Division this year and will be taking her place along with others to help out during the upcoming annual One Night Count of the Homeless in our area. ® INTRODUCTIONS Linda switched the order of the agenda, with introductions taking place before the approval of the minutes. She shared some of her background with the group and spoke about the cooperative efforts between the City and REACH (Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches) to establish a women's day shelter in the former City jail space. The City Council approved the operating lease agreement on Monday evening. Introductions continued around the table. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Brook moved to approve the Minutes as written and Elyn seconded the motion. Motion carried. ® ORIENTATION The 2013 Human Services Advisory Committee notebooks were given to each Committee member. Karen went over the contents of it. Members should use it to keep meeting agendas and handouts in one place. 6. BRAINSTORMING Linda explained the brainstorming is to get a feel for what the Committee would like to see in the coming year. It will be used to develop a work plan for the group. Two questions were asked: 1) What is your City of Renton Human Services Advisory Committee Minutes January 15, 2013 Page 2 of 4 vision of the Human Services Advisory Committee? 2) What would you like to know or learn in the coming year? Responses are listed on Attachment 1. ® REALLOCATION OF FUNDS Linda explained that the Valley Cities Domestic Violence program had failed to attain their 2012 contract goals and $1,,893 had been withheld from their last payment. Staff recommended that it be reallocated in 2013 to the South King Council of Human Services. Originally, the Council was allocated $5,000 and that was subsequently reduced to $3,107 due to a miscalculation. The $1,893 would bring their allocation back to $5.,000. Elyn Blandon moved to approve the reallocation of $1,.893 to the South King Council of Human Services. Amy Bresslour seconded the motion. Motion was unanimously approved. ® FIRST SAVINGS BANKIHOUSING REPAIR Karen thanked First Savings Bank for donating $20,.000 to the City's Housing Repair Program, and noted that they have contributed over $100,000 to the program. In closing, Linda noted there is still an opening for the Youth member on this Committee and she asked the others to help recruit someone to fill the'slot. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m. H:\Boards and Cornrnissions\Human Services\Jan 2013 Minutes.doc City of Renton Human Services Advisory Committee Minutes January 15., 2013 Page 3 of 4 ATTACHMENT I Needs assessments for human services • Data exists. What do we do with it? • Is there an updated human services needs assessment for Renton? Progress reports from funded agencies. Are there any? • Demographics • Narratives How can the City be proactive in helping where there are: 0 Service gaps 0 – unfunded agencies Compare ourselves to what other City Human Services Boards and Commissions are doing. What organizations are funded by other cities? What organizations are struggling and what is the role of the City with struggling agencies? Agency Visits – when, how, who? Three-hour tour to agencies – go to where they are physically. Should agency visits and presentations be grouped together by topic? Should there be a regional approach to reviewing applications (we all do it the same), since there is a regional approach on the content of the application? 0 How do other cities review applications? We need to start the application process sooner. Quarterly meetings for new non -profits; introduce them to what services are available, resources, organizations, RANO (Renton Area Nonprofits United) Learn more about Renton Results.

You were to serve 8 unduplicated Renton residents, with 98 hours of counseling services. For performance under 90%,the City can withhold funds. ' Due to changes in staffing, an interruption in program delivery as well as a lack of attendance during the fourth quarter,the program reached only 75.5%of the contract goals. The number of unduplicated clients was achieved, but only 51%of the counseling hours were provided. Final payment of$1,847 was authorized, which was$2,551 less than the contracted quarterly amount of$4,398.00. Please contact me if you have any questions at 425-430-6655 or dutecht@rentonwa.�ov.

The Housing Repair Assistance Program is partially funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and must conform to CDBG regulations. These regulations provide overall guidelines that must be followed but are designed to allow agencies greater flexibility in program implementation. Due to increased demand and limited resources of the Housing Repair Assistance Program, the following policies have been adopted to assist staff in implementing this program. Meeting the eligibility requirements listed below does not guarantee services will be provided. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the limited resources available, staff will be responsible for interpreting and applying the policies set forth below and will make the final determination on the provision of services. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES • Provide minor housing repair services to homeowners with very low/low/moderate incomes. • Maintain the ability of clients to remain in their own homes and to be independent. • Encourage the participation of service providers, the business community, and the residents of the City of Renton to support housing maintenance and repair assistance to the local community. • Housing repair services will focus on maintaining the safety and health of the occupants and preserving the dwelling. • The program will strive to have very low/low/moderate income Renton homeowners as clients, that reflect the most current demographics of the City of Renton. GENERAL PROGRAM POLICIES 1. Eliqibilitv Requirements In order to be considered for services in this program, the applicant must: • Reside within the Renton city limits. • Own and reside in the dwelling requiring services for at least 12 months prior to requesting service.

Repairs will be made only if the offender is no longer in the home. • Repairs will not be performed on recreational vehicles. • Homes in violation of City of Renton building codes, fire or municipal codes will not receive services until the code violations are fixed. The Housing Repair Assistance Program may help a homeowner comply with the code(s), if the services required are within the scope of program. • Financial assistance will not be given to City of Renton residents of mobile home parks to relocate to other mobile home parks, nor will they be eligible for any service once a mobile home park has received written notice of an impending sale. 3.

The One Night Count is King County's annual point in time count of people who are homeless.The One Night Count documents the nature and extent of homelessness in King County and builds public engagement around the issue.The number of homeless individuals counted in our community is reported to Housing and Urban Development(HUD),a requirement of our application for$22 million in federal funds for homeless housing and services each year. The One Night Count has two parts: 1. People in shelter and transitional housing.This information is gathered from Safe Harbors and surveys. 2. People who are homeless and without shelter.The Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness organizes this street count. Included are youth and young adults(YYA)who participate in"sleepover"events at YYA agencies. What is Count Us In? Count Us In is King County's annual effort to count WA's who are unstably housed or homeless,started in 2011.Count Us In documents the nature and �OU NT extent of homelessness among youth and young adults in King County,and o+� y�� ,� builds better understanding about this unique population,their reasons for � _�;,, experiencing homelessness,and their needs. Data from Count Us In and the One �"�� Night Count will inform the comprehensive plan to end YYA homelessness by � � 2020,helping us understand the scope of the problem and whether we are g � '""'""" making progress toward solving it. A steering committee(King County,the City of Seattle,the United Way of King County,YYA providers)organizes Count Us In. What is the USICH Youth Count Pilot? The United Stated Interagency Council on Homelessness(USICH)launched a 2013 Youth Count Pilot to learn more about effective strategies for counting WA's. Nine locations were selected across the country—including King County and the balance of Washington State—to test creative methodologies to count homeless YYA and to participate in a post-count evaluation The USICH plans to use this information to develop national guidance around future One Night Counts. What's New in January 2013: Count Us In together with the One Night Count King County will participate in the USICH pilot and count YYA who are unstably housed and homeless in King County by combining and enhancing our two previous youth count efforts:Count Us In and the One Night Count. • Kin�Countv YYA providers survev vouns people as part of Count Us In durine the dav to earlv evenin�on 1/24/13. Surveys are conducted with youth known to be unstably housed or homeless,in public areas where WA's congregate, drop in centers and meal programs for homeless youth. King County and Seattle libraries are anticipated to host count tables in strategic library branches. • As the day draws to the evening and the One Night Count begins, a�encies servin�homeless vouth host YYA"sleepover" events durin�the ni�ht/earlv mornins on 1/25/13. YYA who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets are encouraged to gather at these locations to be counted. • Data eligible for our point in time count(One Night Count)is reported to HUD,including the numbers of homeless YYA under 18 and 18—24 years old. • Additional data gathered through Count Us In as part of the pilot is reported to USICH,including numbers of youth who are unstably housed,and greater demographic information from the surveys. Resu/ts from Count Us In shape a complementary view of YYA homelessness,another"chapter"in the One Night Count. Together,our count efforts build momentum Loward addressing the crisis of homelessness among our young people.Coniact Megan Gibbard for additional information ai megan.gibbard@kingcounty.gov.
