DATE ATTACHMENTS 05/07/18 Informational Memo dated April 11, 2018 Pre Application for King County Minutes from the CDN Meeting of 4/24/18 A ri 50 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods FROM: Stacy Hansen, Human Services Program Coordinator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: April 11, 2018 SUBJECT: Authorization to submit CDBG Application for Minor Home Repair 2019 ISSUE King County must receive a Mayor's signed application, as authorized by the City Council, for the annual application to King County for the Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds target the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. For 2019, the City will continue its role as fiscal administrator for the minor home repair in the cities of Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines and SeaTac. The program successfully assists low and moderate -income homeowners in maintaining their homes. The 2019 application is for $110,000 for all four cities. BACKGROUND Human Services staff has been administering this program since 2005. In 2017, 19 unduplicated Tukwila households were served (72 program -wide) consisting of 25 individual projects (92 program -wide) and 158 hours of repairs (804 program -wide). The 2019 request is for $110,000 for the entire program, consisting of $25,875 for each city. DISCUSSION This application competes county -wide with capital applications from other cities and non-profit agencies. Tukwila staff also sits at the table to recommend capital projects but cannot vote on applications affecting Tukwila. FINANCIAL IMPACT Partner cities provide roughly 20% of staff time as in-kind to manage and administer the Minor Home Repair program within their respective cities. Since Tukwila is the lead fiscal agent, in additional to administering the program, staff is also responsible for the annual application process, contract execution and quarterly bill reimbursement between Tukwila, partner cities and King County. Tukwila Human Services staff also attends all required King County meetings, monitors partner cities to ensure contract compliance and provides technical assistance. Between serving as the fiscal agent and administering the program in Tukwila, the Human Services Coordinator spends 30% of her time on the Minor Home Repair program. RECOMMENDATION We are seeking Council support for this application and ask for consideration for placement on the May 7, 2018 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda.

With the low to moderate income prevalence in our cities, there is an on-going need for maintenance and repair work to preserve and protect the viability of these homes, Low to moderate population ranges from 19% (Des Moines & SeaTac), 35% of single households in Covington live in poverty, 37% of households in Tukwila live in poverty. Free and reduced lunch stats in our respective school districts and food insufficiency data reveal poverty indicators as well. 40% of Tukwila residents are cost burdened, paying more than one half of their income for housing costs, 20% of our residents are using the food bank and DSHS services. Based on what we know about our aging housing stock, we estimate we are serving about 10% of the need. Rehab and maintenance issues such as electrical, plumbing and hvac are often deferred by our homeowners due to their very limited incomes. We are primarily serving elderly homeowners that are on very fixed incomes and adults on disability income. In all four partner cities, S2%ofhomeowners served in2O17were under 5O96ofmedian income. 10.
