INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton, David Cline
Community and Parks
FROM: Evie Boykan, Human Services Manager
DATE: April 22, 2013
SUBJECT: Authorization to submit CDBG Application for Minor Home Repair 2014
ISSUE
King County must receive a Mayor's signed application, as authorized by the City Council, for
the annual application to King County for Federal Community Development Block Grants.
These funds target the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. For 2014, we propose serving as
the fiscal administrator for minor home repair in the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Des Moines, and
Covington. This program successfully assists low and moderate income homeowners in
maintaining their homes. We are applying for $125,000 for to be used between the four
participating cities. We estimate about $35,000 of in -kind staff time from the four respective
cities. This is estimated dollar value based on the amount of staff time contributed by the
member cities implementing the program work. The City of Des Moines uses some of the
construction money to pay for their staffing costs.
BACKGROUND
The Office of Human Services has been administering this program in -house since 2005. In
2012 our contractors served 17 unduplicated Tukwila households with 83 hours of labor.
Tukwila's current budget for this program is $125,000 for the entire program with $26,000 for
Tukwila.
DISCUSSION
This application competes county wide with other capital, federal applications from both cities
and non - profit agencies. Tukwila sits at the table to recommend capital projects, but of course
cannot vote on their own application.
RECOMMENDATION
We seek Council support for this application and request consideration for placement on the
Consent Agenda at the May 6th Regular Meeting.

B. AGENCY SERVICE INFORMATION
CAGE
B.1. What services does your agency provide? Describe the need or problem your program is designed to
meet. What is the problem /need you are addressing? Quantify this need, using local or regional data that
confirm or describe the problem or need. How much of the need are you currently serving?
The City of Tukwila provides municipal services to a diverse residential population of over 19,000
residents and 150- 170,000 day time individuals including employees, shoppers, students and other visitors.
Tukwila has a much lower median household income than King county overall, and to a lesser extent, other
King county cities, other than SeaTac. Over 23% of families and 24% of individuals live below the poverty
level. Most of our housing stock is older than 40 years, and based on our prior experience many of our
homeowners experience challenges in maintaining their housing. Most of our prior housing repair clients are at
50% of median income and below. We continue to see economic barriers that contribute to homeowner's
difficulties in maintaining their housing in safe and healthy conditions. We expect based on prior work that we
are serving about 10% of the need.
SeaTac homeowners experience similar challenges as Tukwila homeowners. The vast majority of SeaTac
homes were built prior to 1980. 8.1% of the population live under the poverty line. Almost 7% of SeaTac
residents are older than 65.
In the City of Covington, 44% of the housing stock was built prior to 1979. Staff in Covington report the need
for services based on family income limitations. These limitations manifest in the inability of the homeowner to
perform the necessary preventive maintenance as well as the challenges in addressing immediate needs such
as heat and hot water. Approximately 28% of Covington households meet the median low income guidelines
with 13% of families having female head of household below the poverty level.
In Des Moines a high percentage of the residential population is 65 and older. There has been substantial
growth in the Hispanic, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander populations. Almost 14% of the population
PART I General Information /Agency Information and Part II Federal Requirements 2014 CDBG Capital Application Page
PART I. AGENCY INFORMATION 2014 CDBG Capital Application
is below poverty. 20-51% of Des Moinea households experience a severe cost burden in meeting their
housing needs. 44% of Des Moines residents are considered low to moderate income.
B.2. How do you determine eligibility (income screening, location of residence, eligibility in other
government programs? Are you familiar with current CDBG income screening requirements? [PART III, VI
and VII applicants will need to provide a copy of the tool used during the client intake process as an
attachment per instructions.]
Staff participation in this multi jurisdictional program are well familiar with CDBG income screening
requirements. City of Tukwila started this program in -house 8 years ago. Each applicant submits current
income which becomes part of their on -going file. An application is included in this proposal.
B.3. Describe the process your agency uses to a) assess community needs, b) obtain input
from clients on service delivery and c) ensure the services are delivered by culturally competent
staff in a culturally competent manner. How often is this completed?
The City recently completed City of Tukwila Strategic Plan (2012) includes a comprehensive state of
the city including identifying community needs, and sharing the process used to solicit input from a wide range
of stakeholders. In addition, the Human Services Division collects on -going demographic and qualitative data
substantiating needs and reflecting public input on service accessibility and delivery. Specialized providers
and short term consultants were used in 2012 to increase our cultural sensitivity and competence in working
within a diverse community. Staff receive and seek out on -going training on cultural competence.

F. CULTURAL COMPENTENCY
ADVISORY SECTION ON CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN PROVISION OF SERVICES
Purpose: Please note that this section is strictly advisory to the applicant. The purpose of this page is to
call attention to a trend still in development, but that is receiving considerable discussion nationwide and for
which standards will likely be developed in the future. This the trend to achieve cultural competency in the
delivery of social services to populations of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, linguistic and other
backgrounds. Most local agencies are already serving the needs of these diverse populations with great
PART I General Information /Agency Information and Part II Federal Requirements 2014 CDBG Capital Application Page
11
PART I. AGENCY INFORMATION 2014 CDBG Capital Application
success. The concept of cultural competency seeks to extend these efforts to even better serve the
diversity of people in our communities.
• Definition of Cultural Competency: An ongoing and evolving process that comprises knowledge
attainment and the development of behaviors, attitudes, policies, and practices that come together in a
system of care enabling agencies, programs, and individuals to increase access to services and to
develop or adapt services that are appropriate to specific cultural needs.
• Cultural competency implies a process, rather than a single point in time. Further, it requires the
attainment of knowledge and skills that will help providers and programs work more effectively with
people who have diverse backgrounds and experiences. Finally, cultural competence requires action
to increase access and cultural adaptation based on what is learned about individuals and
communities.
• Cultural competency denotes a commitment to social change, accessibility to opportunity, and delivery
of services that are relevant to the details of a household's particular cultural background.
Please respond to the following questions: (Please answer all three questions one single page.)
F.1 To the best of your ability please describe the diversity of people your agency currently
serves in terms of the following categories: race, ethnicity, religious affiliations, language
groups, sexual orientation, and disability (physical and psychiatric),
Over 43 % of our residents speak a language other than English. Over 70 languages are spoken and our
school district has been identified as the most diverse in the country. Non- Hispanic whites represent 54%
of our population and another 13.6% identified as Hispanic. Tukwila is home to multiple faith groups
including Christianity, Islam, etc. 146 adults received Disability Lifeline assistance in 2011 -2012,
compared to 399 in 2009 -2010. We do not have data on sexual orientation.
F.2 How are your agency's services constructed to meet the needs of its clients based upon
their identity as a member of one or more of these groups? (Examples: give #'s of bilingual
staff, access to interpreter services, or collaborations with specialized expertise from
agencies that serve minority populations.)
With such a diverse population we need multiple strategies to meet resident needs. These strategies
include working with specialized providers, language line and interpreters for mandated interpretation and
translation, and contracted services for special events and community engagement. There is increasing
collaboration between City departments and specialty providers to enhance existing services and make
them more accessible to our diverse public.
F.3 Do you have a training strategy in place to achieve cultural competency? Please describe.
The city's new strategic plan identifies a goal of a positive community identity and image. As part of this
goal, the city will be pursuing development of a public outreach engagement initative. As part of that initiative
staff will receive training to achieve greater levels of cultural competency.
Resources: The following resources are available to increase your agency's ability to serve people of diverse
backgrounds in a culturally competent manner:
• Training opportunities are available through: minority Executive Directors Coalition (206) 325-
2542, or University of Washington School of Social Work.

B. National Objective
B.1 AREA BENEFIT
2014 CDBG Capital Application
L/M Income Area Benefit
For these purposes, an Area Benefit activity is an activity that is available to benefit all the residents
of an area that is primarily residential. In order to qualify as addressing the national objective of
benefit to L/M income persons on an area basis, an activity must meet the identified needs of UM
income persons residing in an area where at least 51 percent of the residents are UM income
persons. The benefits of this type of activity are available to all residents in the area regardless of
income.
For example, typical Area Benefit activities include:
✓ Street improvements,
/Water and sewer lines,
✓ Neighborhood facilities, and
✓ Facade improvements in neighborhood commercial districts.
The requirement that an area benefit activity must qualify on the basis of the income levels of the persons
who reside in the area served by the activity is statutory. (See section 105(c)(2) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 as amended.) This means that the activity may not qualify as
meeting the L/M income area benefit national objective on any other basis. For example, if the assisted
activity is a park that serves an area having a L/M income concentration that falls below the required
percentage, the activity may not qualify even it there is reason to believe that the park will actually be
used primarily by UM income persons.
Determining the Service Area
The inclusion or exclusion of a particular portion of the grantee's jurisdiction can make the difference
between whether the percentage of L/M income residents in the service area is high enough to qualify
under the L/M Income Benefit national objective. The principal responsibility for determining the area
served by an activity rests with the grantee. HUD will generally accept a grantee's determination unless
the nature of the activity or its location raises serious doubts about the area claimed by the grantee.
The area that the grantee determines will be served by an activity need not be coterminous with census
tracts or other officially recognized boundaries, but it is useful if it reasonably coincides with such
boundaries because of the need to consider census data in the area, as discussed later in this section. It
is critical, however, that the service area determined by the grantee be the entire area served by the
activity. This means that, even though a predominantly L/M income neighborhood may be one of several
neighborhoods served by an activity (e.g., a grocery store) the percentage of L/M income persons in the
total area served by the activity is considered for this purpose.
B.1.2 Define the service area. Briefly describe how the boundaries of the service area were determined.
The service area includes the jurisdictional boundaries of the identified cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Des
Moines and Covington. Staff from these cities identified interest and the capacity to be able to
implement the program.

❑ B.1.4. Area Benefit / Survey of Residents in Defined Service Delivery Area
If a grantee has reason to believe that the available census data does not reflect current
relative income levels in an area, or where the area does not coincide sufficiently well with
census boundaries, HUD will accept information obtained by the grantee from use of a
special survey of the residents of the area. The grantee must obtain HUD's approval of the
survey instrument and other methodological aspects of the survey for this purpose. HUD will
approve the survey where it determines that it meets standards of statistical reliability that are
comparable to that of the Decennial Census data for areas of similar size.
HUD requires documenting the following Survey Results in the Low and Moderate Income Worksheet to
determine level of eligibility: Complete this table if the National Objective is determined via the Survey
Instrument methodology.

B.2. National Objective - Limited Clientele Activities Benefiting Low /Moderate Income Persons
A Low /Moderate income limited clientele activity is an activity which provides benefits predominantly to
low to moderate - income persons rather than everyone in an area generally. It may benefit particular
persons without regard to the area in which they reside, or it may be an activity which provides benefit on
an area basis but only to a specific group of persons who reside in the area. In either case, at least 51%
of the beneficiaries of the activity must be documented Low to Moderate income persons.
Check El the one box below that supports the method of qualification that demonstrates how your proposed
activity meets the Limited Clientele national objective
❑ B.2.1 Presumed Benefit - To qualify under this subcategory, a limited clientele activity must
meet one of the following tests:
Exclusively benefit a clientele who are generally presumed by HUD to be
principally UM income persons. The following groups are currently
presumed by HUD to be made up principally of L/M income persons:
❑ abused children,
❑ elderly persons, (defined as 62 years of age and older)
❑ battered spouses,
❑ homeless persons,
❑ adults meeting Bureau of Census' definition of severely disabled persons *,
❑ illiterate adults,
❑ persons living with AIDS, and
❑ immigrant farm workers.
(Note: this presumption may be challenged in a particular situation, if there is
substantial evidence that the persons in the actual group that the activity is to serve
are most likely not principally L/M income persons.)
* The census definition of "severely disabled" follows:
Persons are classified as having a severe disability if they:
(a) used a wheel -chair or had used another special aid for six months or longer;
(b) are unable to perform one or more "functional activities" or need assistance with an
"ADL or IADL ";
(c) are prevented from working at a job or doing housework; or (d) have a selected condition
including autism, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's disease, senility or dementia, or mental
retardation. Also, persons who are under 65 years of age and who are covered by
Medicare or who receive SSI are considered to have a severe disability.
Note: For purposes of this definition, the term "functional activities" includes seeing, hearing, having one's
speech understood, lifting and carrying, walking up a flight of stairs, and walking. An ADL is an "activity of
daily living" which includes getting around inside the home, getting in or out of bed or a chair, bathing,
dressing, eating, and toileting. An IADL is an "instrumental activity of daily living" and includes going
outside the home, keeping track of money or bills, preparing meals, doing light housework, and using the
telephone.
It should also be noted that the so- called "presumed" categories were modified in the regulations in 1995.
A new group has been added: "persons living with AIDS." The former category of "handicapped persons"
has been replaced with "severely disabled adults." This latter change was made for two reasons. First, the
PART I General Information /Agency Information and Part II Federal Requirements 2014 CDBG Capital Application Page
16
PART II. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS 2014 CDBG Capital Application
word "persons" was replaced with "adults" to make it clear that an activity designed to treat handicapped
children would not qualify for the presumption, because HUD has been unable to find evidence that the
majority of handicapped (or even severely disabled) children are members of a L/M income family.
Moreover, the term "handicapped" has been replaced with "severely disabled" (which now will use the
census definition of that term). This change was made because the term "handicapped" has been used in
so many different ways for different Federal programs and has taken on a much broader meaning than
had been envisioned when it was originally introduced as a "presumed" L/M income group for CDBG
purposes. A review of census data supports the presumption that adults (but not children, as mentioned
above) having severe disability are predominantly L/M income persons.
❑ B.2.2. Require information on family size and income so that it is evident that at least 51% of
the clientele are persons whose family income does not exceed the L/M income limit. (This
includes the case where the activity is restricted exclusively to UM income persons). Reference:
§570.208(a) (2) (i) (8) and (C)
An example of the current HUD Income Guidelines are found in the following table. Income guidelines
are adjusted annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Please

❑ B.2.3. Be of such nature and in such location that it may reasonably be concluded that the
activity's clientele will primarily be L/M income persons (e.g., a day care center that is designed to
serve residents of a public housing complex). Reference: §570.208(a)(2)(0(D)
❑ B.2.4. Be an activity that serves to remove material or architectural barriers to the mobility or
accessibility of elderly persons or of adults meeting the Bureau of the Census' Current Population
Reports definition of "severely disabled," provided it is restricted, to the extent practicable, to the
removal of such barriers by assisting:
- the reconstruction of a public facility or improvement, or portion thereof, that does not qualify
under the UM income area benefit criteria;
- the rehabilitation of a privately -owned nonresidential building or improvement that does not
qualify under the L/M income area benefit criteria or the UM income jobs criteria; or
- the rehabilitation of the common areas of a residential structure that contains more than one
dwelling unit and that does not qualify under the L/M income housing criteria.
Reference: §570.208(a)(2)(ii)
PART I General Information /Agency Information and Part II Federal Requirements 2014 CDBG Capital Application Page

PART II. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS 2014 CDBG Capital Application
❑ B.2.5. Be a microenterprise assistance activity carried out in accordance with the provisions of
§570.201(o) with respect to those owners of microenterprises and persons developing microenterprises
assisted under the activity during each program year who are low- and moderate - income persons.
(Note that, for these purposes, once a person is determined to be L/M income, he /she may be
presumed to continue to qualify as such for up to a three -year period. This would enable the provision
of general support services to such a person during that three -year period, without having to check to
determine whether the person's income has risen.) Reference: §570.208(a)(2)(iii)
Because of certain statutory limitations, the regulations preclude the following kinds of activities from qualifying
under the limited clientele category but qualify under the other statues:
• Activities involving the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of property for housing, including
homeownership assistance (these must qualify under the Housing subcategory, because of section
105(c)(3) of the authorizing statute); or
• Activities where the benefit to UM income persons is the creation or retention of jobs (these must qualify
under the Jobs subcategory with certain exceptions as noted under the previous area benefit section,
because of the different presumptions provided under sections 105(c)(1)(C) and (4) of the authorizing
statute).
Definitions
Low /Moderate Income Limited Clientele
Section 102(a)(20) of the HCDA defines the term 'low- and moderate income persons' as families and
individuals whose incomes are no more than 80 percent of the median income of the area involved. The 'area
involved' is determined for the CDBG program the same way it is determined for the Section 8 Housing
program. The 80% of median income figure is determined by HUD based on a four - person family and is
adjusted upward or downward for larger or smaller families.
A family is defined in the Entitlement program as all persons living in the same household who are related by
blood, marriage, or adoption. An individual living in a housing unit that contains no other person(s) related to
him /her is considered to be a one - person family for this purpose. Adult children who continue to live at home
with their parent(s) are considered to be part of the family for this purpose and their income must be counted in
determining the total family income. A dependent child who is living outside of the home (for example, students
living in a dormitory or other student housing) is considered for these purposes to be part of the family upon
which he /she is dependent, even though he /she is living in another housing unit.
A household is defined in the Entitlement program as all persons occupying the same housing unit, regardless
of their relationship to each other. The occupants could consist of a single family, two or more families living
together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements.
Persons vs. households:
It is important to note that, for all but one of the subcategories under this national objective, the test of meeting
the objective of Benefit to L/M Income Persons is to be met based on UM Persons. Only with the subcategory
of UM Income Housing must the test be met based on UM Households.
Elderly or Senior Citizen: According to HUD, you must be at least 62 years of age and meet one of the
following three situations in order to qualify as an elderly household. In the first situation, you must be living
alone or be the head of household or spouse of the head of household. The second situation requires two or
more elderly people living together. In the third situation, an elderly person has a live -in aide. If a household
has elderly people who do not meet any of the above three scenarios, then HUD does not consider it an elderly
household.
