AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 3.C.
For Meeting of: July 23, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution amending the contract between the YWCA of Yakima and
the City of Yakima regarding ARPA funding for the construction of a
domestic violence shelter
SUBMITTED BY: Rosylen Oglesby, Assistant City Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In February of 2023, the City and the YWCA entered into an agreement (Resolution No. R-2023-025)
whereby the City granted $2,000,000.00 of ARPA funding to the YWCA to help it construct a new
domestic violence shelter in Yakima. The City has a high rate of domestic violence crimes and activity,
and there is not enough shelter space for those who are fleeing domestic violence. The original
agreement required that the YWCA obtain full funding for the project before July 31, 2024. The YWCA
has provided proof of full funding, and will start construction in 2025, with an anticipated open date in
2026.
Federal regulations pertaining to ARPA funds impose deadlines for use of ARPA funds, specifically that
such funds be "obligated", meaning under contract, prior to December 31, 2024, and completely
expended by December 31, 2026. Per the Act, the jurisdiction, in this case the City of Yakima, will be
required to return to the federal government all ARPA funds not meeting these deadlines. As such, it is
necessary to amend the funding agreement to allow an additional one year to use the money to
construct the project, which will be done prior to the expiration of the federal deadline to use ARPA
funds.
Cheri Kilty, Executive Director of the YWCA, will share with Council a status update of their Domestic
Violence shelter project.
ITEM BUDGETED: N/A
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Housing
RECOMMENDATION: Receive presentation by YWCA, assess the recipient's ability to meet ARPA
deadlines relating to obligation and expenditure of funds, and consider their request for an extension of
the deadlines within the related February 14, 2023 agreement between the City and YWCA.
Provide direction to staff regarding requested extension by YWCA.
