Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Yakima 2024 Annual Action Plan includes the strategies, goals, and objectives
established in the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and is the basis for the annual funding
application for the CDBG and HOME programs.
The Program Year 2024 marks the City of Yakima's 49th year as a CDBG Entitlement community
and the 14th year as a HOME Entitlement community. In addition,the City of Yakima has received
other HUD grants in recent years:
CDBG-CV: In response to the 2020 outbreak of COVID-19, the federal government passed the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Supplement Act (CARES Act). The CARES Act
provided supplemental CDBF-CV funding for grants to prevent, prepare for, and respond to
Coronavirus.The City received two federal tranches of CDBG-CV,a total of$1,221,209,and a State
of Washington CDBG-CV program amount of $213,181. Of $1,434,390 total CDBG-CV funding,
91%has been spent to date.The City has one CDBG-CV project to complete in 2024:the HVAC air
quality and flow project at the Washington Fruit Community Center.
HOME-ARP:The City of Yakima was eligible for$1,822,807 for HOME-ARP programs. On June 12,
2023, the City was notified by HUD that the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan has been accepted, and
the City may proceed to announce and review funding applications. The City preferred to fund
housing for people experiencing homelessness or those at risk of homelessness. This will be a
2024 project. We submitted an amendment to the 2021 Annual Action Plan to facilitate the City
of Yakima application.
Section 108 Loan Program: In 2019, the City of Yakima approved a HUD refinance of a hotel
project in downtown Yakima (Hilton Garden Inn)which utilized a Section 108 Loan for$2,417,000.
The private party is fully responsible for the repayment of the Section 108 Loan.The City of Yakima
CDBG entitlement and a Loan Loss Reserve Fund guarantee the loan. The City of Yakima has
$3,197,005 in available Section 108 borrowing authority. No project is proposed at this time.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan, or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis, or the strategic plan.

The "AP — 38 Project Summary" information details the objectives and outcomes identified for
implementation in 2024 from the Consolidated Plan, 2020-2024.The primary goals include:
In addition to the Consolidated Plan, HUD requires that cities receiving federal block grants take
actions to "affirmatively further fair housing choice." The City of Yakima and the Yakima Housing
Authority will collaborate on a joint plan and policy.
• Increase and preserve affordable housing for low-income households, senior residents,
households with disabled persons,and other qualifying households by funding emergency repairs
to single-family, owner-occupied housing units, primarily using CDBG funds.
• Assist in delivering community public service programs operated by local nonprofit organizations
to low-income residents at the Henry Beauchamp Community Center using CDBG funds.
• Participate in constructing much-needed housing for low to moderate-income families with
nonprofit organizations to leverage additional funding programs, primarily using HOME funds.
• Provide support to our Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) with the
construction of housing for low-income households using HOME funds.
• Improve distressed neighborhood areas with code enforcement assistance, especially in the
vicinity of schools, using CDBG.
• Invest in public infrastructure and facilities, especially in the walk-to-school zones, to improve
livability and safety using CDBG funds.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This evaluation of past performance helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
The 2024 Annual Action Plan is the 5th year and final year of the Consolidated Plan, 2020-2024. Progress
to date is reported in the 2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). As
reported in the 2022 CAPER, progress accomplished in 2022 toward implementing the goals of the
Consolidated plan include:
• New housing units under construction using HOME funding: 41
• Single-family owner-occupied, emergency home repairs for low-income residents, seniors, and
disabled using CDBG funds: 64
• Residential neighborhood code enforcement cases using CDBG funds: 361
• Public service program delivery to low-income residents by a nonprofit organization at the
community center, using CDBG funds: 7,323
• Delivery of services from Meals on Wheels, using CDBG-CV funds: 602

AP-10 Consultation —91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health,mental health,and
service agencies (91.215(I))
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children,veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS.
Addressing the lack of affordable housing remains a high priority for the City of Yakima. At the April 11,
2023,Yakima City Council Study Session with Homeless Service providers,the most common and pressing
need stated to assist persons experiencing homelessness, as expressed by the providers, was the lack of
affordable housing and the need for Permanent Supportive Housing. In June 2021, the City adopted a
"Housing Action Plan, " providing policy direction and focus to encourage new housing production. The
goal of at least 300 new housing units to be started yearly is necessary to meet anticipated population
growth needs.
The City of Yakima 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan identifies housing affordability, especially for cost-
burdened households, as the most critical priority in the community. The lack of affordable housing
creates housing instability and increases the number of households at risk of homelessness. This is
especially problematic for households including low to moderate-income seniors or disabled members.
Preserving existing owner-occupied housing stock and installing critical safety repairs, including other
emergency repairs, allows elderly and disabled persons to remain in their homes as long as possible.
To assist in the neighborhood preservation of low to moderate-income areas, the City of Yakima funds
one Residential Code Enforcement Officer. This officer works with neighborhood residents to attain safe
quality housing standards, advice on abating violations and other community safety issues.
The City of Yakima belongs to the Yakima County Continuum of Care(CoC)and participates in the"Balance
of State" The City actively participates in the Yakima County Homeless Coalition, which conducts annual
Point in Time (PIT) Counts and manages the 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness. As evidenced in the 2022
PIT Report,approximately 80%of the persons experiencing homelessness on the night of the PIT in Yakima
County as living within the City of Yakima. As the central City in Yakima County, most of the human and
social services are located in the City of Yakima.
CITY OF YAKIMA 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PAGE 6

The City coordinates with the Homeless Service providers,the Yakima County CoC,and the Yakima County
Homeless Network members, a nonprofit organization of over 150 members who work together to
address homelessness-related issues. The City of Yakima has a number of initiatives that provide direct
services to those experiencing homelessness, including ownership of the land leased to "Camp Hope," a
sanctioned encampment that provides emergency shelter with an average nightly census of 100 to 150
persons. However,these initiatives are NOT funded with CDBG or HOME funds.
HOME funds are available to various community partners for Permanent Supportive Housing to persons
who are homeless. Nearly all local affordable housing providers participate in Coordinated Entry. In fact,
of the 54 housing units under construction by Yakima Housing Authority, 27 will be dedicated to
formerly homeless persons.

2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the process
and describe the jurisdiction's consultations with housing, social service agencies, and
other entities.
The following information was collected via a survey of area housing and service agency providers
in February 2023.This survey was used in the 2023 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, submitted to HUD
on March 27, 2023.The agency responses were excellent and informative about local community
needs and services.
Because the survey was conducted close to developing the 2024 Annual Action Plan, the
consultation information is being used as part of the plan.

Rental Assistance (RA) is
generally only available for

not leverage other funds. If
used for RA,the best use
would be for assistance with

youth and young adults or
assistance for domestic
violence survivors for
relocation and initial rental
expenses (deposit and
first/last month rent).
• A portion of HOME ARP funds
could be used for non-

a viable option but may be a
more costly solution.

of homelessness.
• We see a huge gap in the
housing units for first-time

• Helping local affordable

buildable lots for our
community would be a huge
step forward.
• Larger organizations are
outbidding affordable
housing developers with the
capital to pay the
infrastructure cost on larger
lots.
• There is a huge need for
affordable rental options in
our community. Offering
renal assistance to
participants with an
incentive to move out of
that market would be a key
component to helping to
create positive movement in
this market.
• We need a shelter that

• With more and more

• Yakima needs additional units

standards.
• Rental assistance can help
bridge the gap between what
a tenant can pay and what the
landlord charges.YWCA
regularly sees landlords
requesting$3,000-$6,000 to
enter a place.
• YWCA has found that having
the non-congregate style of
emergency shelter is best for
survivors of domestic violence

homelessness. It reduces
conflict among residents and

preparation for their place in

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources— 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
Overall, resources in 2024 from the Consolidated Plan funds are expected to remain similar to recent
years.The City of Yakima coordinates HUD's Consolidated Plan funds with other City resources,such as
our General Fund and non-federal funding sources, to provide for human services, affordable housing,
and community and economic development. Not all the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan are
addressed with HUD funds. How each fund source is used depends upon the various restrictions and
regulations covering the funds and the most efficient and effective mix of funds.
The use of the terms "carryforward" or "prior year" as it relates to resources or funds means that the
City has funding from previously approved action plans that are still available for open projects and/or
activities.Those projects and activities are still open during this Annual Action Plan year and will occur
expenses.The availability of prior year funding will be shown in the table below to share with the public
that the City intends to keep spending the funding from the previous action plans and to show how
those funds are being spent.
The breakdown of the spending for projects/activities is discussed further under the"Projects" section
of this plan.

Table 5-Expected Resources—Priority Table
The City of Yakima has not received its official letter from HUD regarding the allocation for 2024;
therefore, the 2024 AAP is using the notice received for the 2023 Fiscal Year as its base. The 2023
allocation includes $1,048,001 in Community Block Grant (CDBG) and $573,858 in HOME funds. The City
of Yakima is anticipating using its award of$1,822,807 in HOME-ARP funds and the remaining of its CDBG-
CV of$321,949 for planned activities in 2024.
Additionally, the City of Yakima is partnering with Catholic Charities and Yakima Housing Authority to
apply for CHIP Funding to add additional affordable housing units in the upcoming year.
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied.
If appropriate, describe public-owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Discussion
In 2022, the City of Yakima analyzed lands owned by the City to determine potential lands for surplus,
especially for developing affordable housing by nonprofit partners.Several lots were declared surplus and
sold for affordable housing projects, including 115 N 8th Street and 501 S 12th Street).
Additionally,the City of Yakima leases vacant land to a religious organization to operate "Camp Hope," a
sanctioned encampment for persons experiencing homelessness.
These partnerships assist the local nonprofit housing and provider communities to develop much-needed
housing by leveraging financial resources and land.

Planned Activities Street Lighting - Upgrading street lighting of both roadways and
sidewalks is a priority of the City of Yakima. The project will upgrade
existing street lights within a three to four-block radius of elementary
schools. Most of the existing lighting consists of 40-watt LEDs intended
for residential areas. However, increasing the wattage to 80 watts will
significantly enhance the emission of light on roads and sidewalks,
providing a safer environment. This will especially be beneficial for kids
walking to school during the dark early morning hours of fall/winter. It
will also provide additional lighting for afterschool activities and aid the
patrol of the Yakima Police Department.

Sidewalk Installation-There have been concerns regarding the safety of
pedestrians along South 16th Avenue due to the lack of sidewalks along
the west side of 16th Ave. 16th Avenue is classified as a principal arterial,
defined as one of the highest traffic volume corridors serving both local
and through traffic entering and leaving the City while providing access
to the City's major activity centers. 16th Avenue has a traffic volume
exceeding more than 15,000 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) units with a
posted speed limit of 35 mph. Individuals must crossover 16th Avenue at
unmarked areas to utilize the sidewalk network that exists on the east
side of 16th Avenue. Once at the intersection of 16th Avenue and
Washington Avenue, a signalized pedestrian crossing allows individuals
to cross back over to the west side of 16th Avenue. Approximately 863
feet of sidewalk with ADA ramps are needed along the west side of S.
16th Avenue.

(FY2023 Program Income)
ascription The Aquatic Center at Martin Luther King Jr. Park is an $11 million dollar
project. A total of$1 million dollars will be used over a 2-year period to
add to the construction of the facility, equating to approximately 0.09%
of the total cost. A total of$10,000,000 was collected from fundraisers,
donations,and other grants.CDBG Funds will be used for, but not limited
to, recreation pool and infrastructure improvements (i.e., water lines,
drainage, walk areas, etc.).
Target Date 2023-2025
Estimate the number Approximately 7,700 residents
and type of families
that will benefit from
the proposed
activities
Location Description The target area is S. 8th Street in southeast Yakima. The area is
predominately Hispanic and low-income.The area is densely populated,
and the houses are small with backyards. The closest public pool is
Franklin Park pool, which is 3 miles away and is difficult to access via
public transportation, which is prohibitive to pool use. The location was
chosen due to the high population density,and the public swimming pool
was removed in the early 2000s due to the age of the facility and ongoing
serious mechanical issues. Studies show that areas of high poverty and
minorities have a higher rate of drownings, and many children do not
know how to swim due to the lack of access to swimming lessons. This
pool will provide swimming lessons for children.
Planned Activities The project consists of a pool area for lap swimming,water exercise,ana
swim lessons; water sprays and zero-depth entries; large water slides;
and restrooms, showers, and lockers.

negative impacts due to the pandemic.
During this grant year,the City will continue updating its HVAC system at
neighborhood centers by adding air scrubbers that will help purify the air
of contaminants, which is necessary for reducing airborne particulates.

Introduction
The City or Yakima partners with the Yakima Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, Catholic Charities,
Farmworker Housing, and other nonprofit and for-profit organizations to assist in projects that provide
rental assistance, develop affordable rental, and construct homeowner housing units. The City operates
the Single-Family Emergency Repair program, funded with CDBG funds. During the COVID-19 pandemic,
the City of Yakima shifted some programs to respect not working on interior rehabilitation projects and
supported exterior projects, like safety ramps or exterior paint. We have returned to address emergency
safety needs inside of income-qualified owner-occupied homes.
HOME-funded projects are also accomplished by using our community partners primarily for the new
constructior of housing units.

HOME funds have been awarded to some significant projects for multifamily rental housing units under
construction. Some of the units will be completed in 2023 and ready to occupy. Catholic Charities is
currently working on the 32 units of the"Genesis Housing"(Yakima Opportunity Housing)project on North
16th Avenue. Phase 1, consisting of 16 family units of 2 and 3 bedrooms, will likely be complete in 2023.
The Yakima Housing Authority is also under construction with the Fruitvale Project of 54 units.Those units
may not be completed in 2023.
The City of Yakima anticipates the award of HOME-ARP funds in 2023 but has not started the NOFA yet.
The City of Yakima Single Family Repair program will continue in 2024. This program assists low to
moderate-income households with emergency repairs and limited safety repairs.One significant outcome

of this program is the ability to keep senior citizens in their homes as long as they are safe.A projected 60
housing units may receive assistance through the repair program.
Habitat for Humanity is currently a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)for the City of
Yakima. They expect to construct 2 new single-family homes to be sold to qualified low to moderate-
income first-time homebuyers.

AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h)
Introduction
i he City ofi Yakima chartered the Yakima Housing Authority (YHA) in 1977. The Housing Authority of the
City of Yakima (YHA) is a corporate body created by Resolution No. D-1575 in 1977 by the City of
Yakima. The City of Yakima created YHA per Washington State Revised Code Chapter 35.82. YHA was
created to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing for low-and moderate-income residents of the City
of Yakima, Washington. YHA administers multiple US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) programs that fund our key services. The City Council appoints board members to the Yakima
Housing Authority.
The Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS), as the local environmental representative for
HUD projects, has worked with the YHA to assist in providing documentation in order to meet the HUD
regulation criteria needed for those specific projects as requested by the YHA.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
One of the joint projects oetween the Lily faloma and the Housing wutnority will be to collaborate on
developing a shared policy and cooperation on the goals of"Affirmative Furthering Fair Housing."
The City of Yakima continues to partner with and support the YHA. Specific projects and funding requests
will be analyzed and given consideration by due process regarding the most beneficial use of entitlement
funds. ONDS expects to continue to support the YHA with environmental review and documentation as
requested by the YHA.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
rye f dkausa ig encourages resident involvement with programs like the Resident Advisory
Board (RAB).The RAB provides the YHA and the residents with a forum for sharing information about the
agency's Annual Action Plan. RAB membership comprises individuals who reflect and represent the
residents assisted by the Public Housing Agency (PHA). The role of the RAB is to assist the PHA in
developing the PHA Plan and in making any significant amendment or modification to the Plan. In addition,
the Yakima Housing Authority is an active participant in crime-free rental housing, allowing residents to
participate in the local block watch,which ONDS participates in every year, inviting the residents and local
organizations to partake in National Night Out.
The YHA also participates in the Yakima County Asset Building Coalition, and they are establishing a
partnership with YVOCAN for the Union Gap and Yakima area. YHA is also in the process of collaborating
with the AmeriCorps VISTA Education Award with the goal of every eligible resident signing up for the
College-Bound Scholarship.
CITY OF YAKIMA 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PAGE 42

Lastly, YHA is administering the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. This program enables families
assisted through the HCV program to increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on
welfare assistance and rental subsidies.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance.
rye ,we:urs rousing Icy is not designated as "troubled."
Discussion
The Yakima Housing Authority provides Yakima residents with decent, safe, and affordable housing
through its many diverse housing programs.The City of Yakima looks forward to continuing its partnership
with the YHA to provide this type of housing to its residents.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities—91.220(i)
Introduction
i ne Department of Commerce is the Collaborative Applicant for the Washington Balance of State
Continuum of Care (BoS CoC).The BoSCoC's 34 small and medium-sized counties receive about$8 million
annually for 50 permanent and temporary housing projects funded by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development Continuum of Care Program, including the City of Yakima, in which Yakima County is
included.
The City of Yakima recognizes homelessness as the most severe housing problem and strives to prevent
the most at-risk populations from becoming homeless by using CDBG funds for the Single-Family
Rehabilitation Program.These programs are designated to help high-risk senior and disabled groups with
emergency rehabilitation, wheelchair ramps, and exterior painting in the hopes that this will allow them
to continue to occupy their current affordable housing units.
ONDS also strives to support affordable housing with its homeownership programs, the First Time
Homeownership Program,the New Construction Program,and the direct and indirect support of certified
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) in creating new single-family housing that is
decent, safe, and affordable. This directly affects the homeless by giving them the opportunity to own
their first home or by indirectly allowing someone in either a rental situation or a public housing situation
to buy their first home,thereby indirectly allowing another affordable rental or public housing unit to be
occupied by an otherwise homeless individual or family.
Describe the jurisdiction's one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
City of Yakima supports the Department of Commerce's Continuum of Care "5-Year Plan to End
Homelessness."This Plan is a "Housing First" model.The first priority of Continuum of Care is to maintain
existing resources that serve the ends of the homeless within the community. The plan identifies new
projects and services that fill critical gaps in prevention services, outreach, emergency and transitional
housing, support services, and long-term affordable housing.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Yakima continuL, u work with many lu;al agc�icies thrc ugh Cu cinuum of Care in addressing
emergency shelters and transitional housing opportunities on an individual project basis.
CITY OF YAKIMA 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PAGE 44
49
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness,facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Nonprofit partners of the City of Yakima are actively planning and constructing Permanent Supportive
Housing (PSH, and, to a lesser degree, some Transitional Housing. For these projects, the City has used
HOME funds and intends to offer funding from the HOME-ARP program for new construction of
Permanent Supportive Housing, which will assist some of those experiencing homelessness. The City of
Yakima continues working with partners to assist homeless individuals and families through our various
programs.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City of Yakima,though the Single-Family Emergency Home Repair Program,partners with various local
agencies, including social service providers, hospital and nursing care facilities, the OIC Weatherization
program, Veteran organizations, and other families with children, seniors, and/or disabled homeowners
that are in need of emergency repairs or wheelchair ramps. Sometimes, these repairs must be installed
before residents can return home after release from care facilities.Additionally,the City of Yakima utilizes
partners and local resources to refer individuals to services that may be available to them.
Discussion
The City of Yakima continues to direct funding to assist income-qualified homeowners with the Emergency
Home Repair Program to enable the elderly,frail, and disabled to remain in their homes and thereby not
becoming homeless and adding to the Continuum of Care's burden with additional homelessness. The
program has been expanded for emergency repair needs of income-qualified families with children for
assistance since there were considerable unmet needs.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j)
Introduction:
in 2021, the City of Yakima adopted a Housing Action Plan, which provides strategies and guidance to
promote new construction of housing and reduce barriers to affordable housing. Since 2021,the City has
implemented significant regulatory amendments to streamline the review process and timelines.The City
implemented density amendments to encourage infill of new housing units within existing neighborhoods
(Missing Middle), allows housing in nearly every zoning district, except industrial areas, adopted a sales
tax option that diverts a share of the state revenues to the City of Yakima to be dedicated to affordable
housing, participated in a state program entitled Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP)
which reimburses the cost of water,sewer and stormwater costs of new construction for affordable rental
housing and other incentive programs.
Yakima's Comprehensive Plan identifies several areas affecting affordable housing development, including
zoning, land use, subdivision requirements, impact fees, licensing and permits, and extension of
transportation and utility services.The Yakima Planning Division monitors available land, zoning, and land
use in order to ensure that the projected population increase can be accommodated with new housing
construction available to all income groups.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes,fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
I he City has wuro<eO Willi various nonprofits to develop zoning, subdivision, and environmental review
reforms that encourage new construction of various housing units.The Yakima Planning Commission
(YPC) has worked toward changes to the Zoning Ordinance (YMC Title 15) and the Subdivision Ordinance
(YMC Title 14) as they relate to the Implementation Strategies of the Housing Action Plan. Of the 37
implementation strategies,YPC has reviewed and set forth recommendations:
• Strategy#1—Update city regulations to remove barriers to innovative housing types
• Strategy#7—Create design standards for multifamily and mixed-use development
• Strategy#8— Improve permitting and environmental process
• Strategy#14— Revise parking standards in key areas
• Strategy#16—Consider fee waivers or deferrals for affordable housing
• Strategy#22—Address mobile home parks that are dilapidated
• Strategy#23— Encourage micro-retail and flexible cultural design space
• Strategy#26— Incentivize Senior Housing
• Strategy#28—Minimize barriers to the development of housing serving multiple populations
• Strategy#32— Incentivize backyard cottages and cottage housing

Introduction:
As discussed throughout the Consolidated Plan and elsewhere in this Annual Action Plan, the City of
Yakima has a wide variety of programs directed at maintaining affordable existing housing through
rehabilitation, new single-family dwellings through its homeownership program, and new construction of
multifamily housing units.The City recognizes the importance and need for affordable housing as well as
maintaining our current affordable housing.
The City of Yakima does not have a preference for the HOME Investment Program Entitlement Funds as
it relates to rental housing for projects related to Permanent Supportive Housing.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Yakima continues to partner with local affordable housing agencies. The City offers qualified
developers the opportunity to leverage HOME funds to make affordable housing projects possible. HOME
funds are leveraged with Low-income Housing Tax credits, Washington State Housing Trust Fund dollars,
Federal Home Loan Banks, grants and loans, and USDA. The City of Yakima HOME funds account for only
a fraction of the cost of these affordable housing projects.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
As discussed throughout the Consolidated Plan and elsewhere in this Annual Action Plan, the City of
Yakima has various programs to maintain affordable existing housing through rehabilitation, new single-
family dwellings through its homeownership program,and new construction of multifamily housing units.

ONDS has both certified supervisors and staff on hand to assess and address lead-based paint as well as
hires certified state lead-based paint professionals to deal with all projects with potential lead-based paint
disturbed surfaces.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City Council's strategic priorities are economic development and new jobs in the Yakima Valley. Nearly
one-quarter of the County population lives below the federal poverty level. The City of Yakima actively
works to retain employers in Yakima and attract new investments to broaden and diversify the economic
base. Yakima County Development Authority (YCDA) provides significant Economic Development efforts
for Yakima. With constrained City General Fund budgets, it has been difficult to devote city funds to
economic development tasks. The City is working to restore more robust staffing for economic
development and may utilize Section 108 funding capability in the future toward a community
improvement project.
Actions planned to develop an institutional structure
The City of Yakima continues to work with existing agencies and departments within Yakima, consultants,
and other governmental bodies outside Yakima to strengthen and enhance the current institutional
structure.We will continue to seek partnerships with organizations and private enterprises to develop the
institutional structure further. i

subsidy assistance provided. These options ensure that the City is able to recover all or a portion of the
HOME investment amount provided to the homebuyer should the property cease to serve as the principal
residence for the duration of the required affordability period (suggested for approval by the Yakima City
Council as adoption of the Annual Action Plan).
HOME Subsidy is dispersed in the form of a "forgivable loan" and is subject to the guidelines of the
applicable options noted under either recapture or resale. No monthly payments will be required from
the homebuyer, regardless of which option is deployed.
CITY OF YAKIMA 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PAGE 50
55
Below is a summary of the guidelines. PLEASE SEE THE POLICY IN THECITY'S HOME PROGRAM MANUAL
FOR FULL DETAILS OF THE GUIDELINES.
RECAPTURE OPTION
The City of Yakima's recapture option is applicable to all homebuyer activities that use HUD HOME funds.
The HOME funds may be used as either a direct homebuyer subsidy (DHS) or combined with a
development subsidy. Recapture provisions cannot be used when a project receives only a development
subsidy and is sold at fair market value because there is no direct HOME subsidy to recapture from the
homebuyer. Instead, resale provisions must be used. The entire HOME investment amount shall be
reduced by the City as determined on a pro-rata basis for the amount of time the homeowner owned and
occupied the property measured against the entire affordability period (See Table B). This is known as a
forgivable period. A portion of the HOME subsidy will be forgiven annually upon the anniversary of the
closing/settlement date. For example, 1/5 (20%) of the HOME subsidy will be forgiven each year during a
five-year affordability period on the anniversary of the closing date.The loan period will always match the
affordability period.
The forgiveness term is not applicable, and repayment is immediately due in the event the borrower fails
to comply with the principal residence requirement by either renting(unless an exception is made due to
a military deployment) or permanently vacating the property during the affordability period.
The City shall determine the amount of the HOME investment funds to be recaptured using a shared net
proceeds basis.The maximum recapture amount by the City will be equal to the HOME subsidy,multiplied
by one minus the pro-rata basis percentage.
The City shall recapture any and all of the net proceeds. However,the City is never permitted to recapture
more than what is available from the net proceeds of the sale.
Under this option,the amount subject to the affordability period includes:
• The amount provided directly to, or on behalf of, the homebuyer (including down payment,
closing costs, and/or direct loan) PLUS
• Any HOME assistance that lowers the cost of the home below market price (i.e., the difference
between the market value of the home and the actual sales price).
RESALE OPTION
The City shall require the use of a resale option only in the event that a development subsidy is used to
make the property affordable.The recapture option will apply for properties where both a development
and direct homebuyer subsidy are provided. The resale option requires the homeowner to sell the
property to another low-income homebuyer if sold during the affordability period. This option requires
the resale price to provide the original HOME-assisted owner with a fair return on investment and ensure
the property will remain affordable to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers, as defined below.
Please note that both definitions relate only to the resale option.
CITY OF YAKIMA 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PAGE 51
56
Fair return on investment. A fair return on investment includes the homebuyer's investment and any
capital improvements. The value of capital improvements is defined as the actual, documented costs of
permanent structural improvements or restoration of the property that enhances or increases the useful
life of the property, such as a kitchen renovation, bathroom upgrades, etc.The actual costs of the capital
improvements must be documented with receipts, canceled checks, or other documents acceptable to
the City. The City shall consider a fair return on investment achieved when the original homebuyers
receive from the sale a percentage return on investment based on the change in the Median Sales Price
for the Yakima Metropolitan Statistical Area, as published periodically by HUD with the HOME
Homeownership Value Limits.
Affordability to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers. This affordability is determined by two
conditions:
1. That which is affordable to a family earning between 60% and 80% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) and below and
2. Who do not pay more than 30% of their gross income for Principal, Interest, Tax, and Insurance
(PITI).
Resale requirements shall be imposed with the use of deed restrictions, covenants running with the land,
and other mechanisms.The period of affordability specified in the mortgage will be the minimum period
for the project.
In addition to the homebuyer receiving a fair return on investment and based on the remaining
affordability period for the property, the housing must continue as affordable to LMI potential
homebuyers. If the resale price of the home is not affordable to subsequent homebuyers, the City of
Yakima may be required to provide additional assistance to that homebuyer2.
Period of Affordability Under Resale Provisions. Under resale, §92.254(a)(5(i)of the HOME rule states that
the period of affordability is based on the total amount of HOME funds invested in the housing. In other
words, the total HOME funds expended for the unit determines the applicable affordability period. Any
HOME program income used to assist the project is included when determining the period of affordability
under a resale provision2.
Period of Affordability Under Recapture Provisions. For HOME-assisted homebuyer units under the
recapture option, the period of affordability is based upon the direct HOME subsidy provided to the
homebuyer that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the unit. Any HOME program income used to
provide direct assistance to the homebuyer is included when determining the period of affordability.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units
acquired with HOME funds?See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4)are as follows:
The City of 'yatiiilma's pouicy empuoys Dom the recaptte anc resale options depending on the type of
subsidy assistance provided. These options ensure that the City is able to recover all or a portion of the

with the adoption of the 2023 Annual Action Plan).

Resident Summary
What is the Annual Action Plan?
The Annual Action Plan is the City's application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds. The Annual
Action Plan explains how the City will use the funds from HUD in the City Fiscal Year(FY)2024 to address Yakima's housing
and community development needs. It is guided by the Priority Needs established in the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
How does it work?
In the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan,the City identified the community's affordable housing and development needs as
priorities. It established goals to accomplish these priorities.
Each year,the City reviews its five-year goals and its progress toward them in the previous year. It then sets annual goals
for the progress it wants to make in the upcoming year. To accomplish these goals, the City develops projects. Projects
are designed to fulfill one or more goals and are the basis for activities,which are specific actions funded by federal grants,
i.e., CDBG and HOME. Activities include developing single-family housing and helping low-income homeowners repair
their roofs. Completing Activities helps the City meet its goals. Goals related to projects are listed below:
Goal Descriptions
