RESOLUTION 2020-02 — ATTACHMENT A
SOUTH KING HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS PARTNERS
2020-2021 DRAFT WORK PLAN
Purpose: Establish a 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan that is consistent with the
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement and shaped by member jurisdictions. 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.
