The 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan reflects individual jurisdiction needs and interests while furthering the overall purpose of SKHHP to increase the available options for South King County residents to access affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing stock. Introduction: The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an interlocal agreement to work together and share resources to increase the available options for South King County residents to access affordable housing and preserve the existing affordable housing stock. The SKHHP 2020-2021 work plan includes three major areas of work that will facilitate implementation of the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement: governance and administration; policy and planning; and education and outreach. These three major work areas are broken into five objectives. Governance and administration is covered in Objective 1 and includes program -wide management activities that will be completed annually including developing and adopting an annual work plan and budget. This work area also includes start-up procedures including establishing decision-making protocols and reporting procedures, and convening a community advisory board. Policy and planning is covered in Objectives 2 and 3 and includes advocating for and establishing a SKHHP affordable housing capital fund; and collaborating with partners to enhance local policies and programs that accelerate access to affordable housing, protect existing housing stock, and provide housing security. Outreach and education is covered in Objectives 4 and 5 and includes representing South King County and its unique affordable housing needs at all decision tables; and furthering the understanding of the spectrum of affordable housing options and the range of related needs and opportunities. Background: During 2018 and 2019 staff of member jurisdictions discussed a wide range of work plan ideas for SKHHP; the goal was to identify objectives and action items for an 18 -month work plan. In June 2019, each jurisdiction was asked what SKHHP "must do", "should do", or "could do" during the course of the first 18 -months. In July 24, 2020 SKHHP 2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN Page 1 of 8 June 2019, the SKHHP Executive Board reviewed and approved the list by focusing on the "must do" and "should do" items. The 2020-2021 work plan operationalizes the list approved by the SKHHP Executive Board in 2019 and incorporates the HB 1406 sales tax credit and the sub -regional housing assessment made possible by HB 1923 grant funds. The sub -regional housing assessment is being coordinated by six of the nine SKHHP partner cities (SoKiHo). The 2020-2021 work plan also identifies allies like the Housing Development Consortium (HDC) and King County with goals that align with SKHHP that will augment staff capacity. The 2020-2021 work plan prioritizes the "must do" and "should do" activities for 2020. Activities that were part of the 2019 list of activities will be reassessed for possible incorporation in the 2022 work plan. In February 2020 King County had its first reported case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Since February, the pandemic has continued to expand and we have yet to see the full extent of the virus. On March 23, 2020 Governor Inslee announced a statewide order requiring everyone in the state to stay home for two weeks. The order required everyone to stay home except to pursue essential activities, banned all gatherings for social, spiritual, and recreational purposes, and closed all businesses except those deemed essential. The Stay Home, Stay Healthy initiative has since been extended through May, 2020 with a four phase approach to opening businesses that will begin on May 5, 2020. In response to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, federal, state, and local governments have mobilized emergency operations centers, implemented temporary policies to prevent residential and business evictions, and passed unprecedented stimulus packages in the hopes to lessen the impacts of COVID-19 to individuals and businesses. The impacts of this crisis are still unfolding and much of the recovery effort has yet to be determined. During this unprecedented time, staff capacity and local resources may need to adapt. This may require SKHHP to reanalyze priorities and/or shift the timeline for the work identified in the work plan. Progress reports: Consistent with the Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP Executive Manager will submit quarterly budget performance and progress reports on the status of the work plan elements to the SKHHP Executive Board and the legislative body of each member jurisdiction. To be consistent with the administering agency's finance department, quarterly progress reports will be provided as follows: • Quarter 1: May • Quarter 2: August • Quarter 3: November • Quarter 4: February Next steps: In accordance with the Interlocal Agreement, the 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan will be approved by the legislative body of each member jurisdiction and the July 24, 2020 SKHHP 2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN Page 2 of 8 SKHHP Executive Board. The timeline for review and adoption of the 2020 SKHHP Work Plan is as follows: • May -June — Draft 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan and Draft 2021 operational budget reviewed by legislative body of each jurisdiction and SKHHP Executive Board. • July -August — review and adoption of 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan and 2021 operational budget by SKHHP Executive Board. • August -October — adoption of 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan and 2021 operational budget by legislative body of each jurisdiction.
